Dunkin' Original Blend Whole Bean Coffee vs Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original Whole Bean

Both are medium-roast whole-bean coffees with 4.6-star ratings, so the choice comes down to flavor style and bag size. Dunkin' Original Blend is the smoother, milder cup with a familiar donut-shop taste, and its 12 oz bag suits casual drinkers who want to grind fresh for drip or pour-over. Eight O'Clock The Original is 100% Arabica, kosher certified, and comes in a 32 oz bag, which makes it the better pick for heavy daily drinkers and anyone who wants a bigger supply from one bag. Owners of both praise consistency; Dunkin' fans cite the smooth, low-bitterness finish, while Eight O'Clock fans cite a fuller body and classic diner-style flavor.

• Choose the Dunkin' Original Blend if you want a smooth, easy-drinking medium roast with the familiar Dunkin' taste and a smaller bag that stays fresh while you work through it.
• Choose the Eight O'Clock The Original if you drink coffee daily, want a larger 32 oz bag of 100% Arabica medium roast, and prefer a fuller, more traditional cup.
