Dunkin’ Donuts Employee Uses Hot Coffee As Weapon

Quick thinking on the part of a Dunkin’ Donuts employee and minimal thinking on the part of a would-be crook has taken the Internet by storm. A failed robbery and hot coffee used in self-defense make for good water cooler chat, and this Dunkin' Donuts robbery story has it all. Quick thinking heroism, dumb criminals, and our favorite beverage standing in as the weapon that vanquished the criminal.

The scene opened on the Dunkin’ Donuts drive through window seen from the vantage of a security camera. A man in a light-colored hooded sweatshirt asked the Dunkin’ Donuts employee to make change for a $100 bill, and when the worker refused, the man announced his intention to rob the Dunkin’ Donuts from the drive through. He then attempted to climb out of the window of his vehicle and into the drive through service window, reaching into his pocket for what we must assume was a weapon.

Thinking quickly, our donut shop hero threw the man’s hot coffee in his face and attempted to close the service window. When the man’s now-seared bulk blocked the window from closing, the employee grabbed a pot of hot coffee and tossed the steaming Dunkin’ Donuts coffee at the man who’d had enough and drove off. Watch it yourself in the video embedded below.

Coffee: 1, Crime: 0. Hopefully the lesson this crook takes away from this experience is that drive through crime doesn’t pay.

Donut House Coffee At CoffeeForLess

Let us celebrate this heroic donut shop coffee warrior with a mug of delicious donut-shop-style coffee for Keurig K-Cup brewers. Green Mountain Coffee has recently revamped their Donut House line of classic coffee K-Cups. These K-Cups attempt to capture the traditional taste of American donut shop counter service coffee, though we cannot guarantee that they make quite as effective of a self-defense plan as the coffee flung at the failed robber. What we can guarantee is that Green Mountain Coffee has truly composed classic donut shop tastes in these K-Cup coffees.

Green Mountain Coffee Donut House Coffee K-Cups are a light roast coffee that is available in both regular and decaffeinated K-Cups. It has a smooth, light roast coffee flavor with piquant acid notes and a mildly astringent aftertaste. It hearkens to classic American coffee roasts found at any diner or donut shop during the 20th Century.

Flavored coffee fans will certainly enjoy the two Green Mountain Coffee Donut House Flavored Coffee K-Cups available. Green Mountain Coffee Donut House Chocolate Glazed Donut Flavored Coffee K-Cups are delicious, combining cocoa-rich chocolate donut and sweet glazed icing flavors with smooth, light roast coffee! If you enjoy the pairing of a buttery, spiced cinnamon bun and coffee, then try Green Mountain Donut House Cinnamon Roll Flavored Coffee K-Cups. This coffee brews fresh every time with the aroma of actual cinnamon buns baking in an oven. The combination of brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla glaze icing flavors with coffee is excellent.
