Where is dunkin donuts coffee roasted

And Roasted felt sufficiently caffeinated. But, as most coffee snobs will tell you, the only way to truly taste a coffee is by brewing it up in a French Press. So, Roasted did just that and then passed out samples around the office - without divulging the brand of the bean.

The consensus in the bullpen was that the coffee was smooth, with very light acidity, but a bit on the bland not-much-character side. Fittingly, the one person in the office who really liked the sample hails from the northeast. Which takes Roasted back to our not-so-humble pre-tasting opinion, which is the same as the post-tasting opinion.

But, while Roasted won't ever buy another bag of Original Blend, we don't think Dunkin Donuts has too much to worry about, because as their in-store marketing proudly proclaims in that chubby Dunkin font: "Pound for Pound America's Favorite Coffee. Support Us Dallas' independent source of local news and culture. About two weeks back, Roasted was knee-deep in a mostly interesting coffee-biz conversation between an area coffee roaster and the owner of a local coffee shop when the two started talking about the coffee at Dunkin Donuts.

All rights reserved. Assuming 1, legs per warehouse section times 50 sections, there are 50, legs, which equates to 12, hours to clean a warehouse storage rack system one time. But one time is never enough. Additionally, the design is made worse when the bottom shelf is positioned a few inches from the floor creating limited access to remove spillage. This is just one example of the cost to clean poorly designed equipment that is commonly found in food plants. Equipment that is near or in the food-processing area typically has even higher food safety microbiological risks.

Imagine the microbiological growth created from warm material flowing through an outdoor, foot-high bucket-lift elevator and distributor in the cold weather.

The optimal solution is to eliminate the need to clean. In the storage-rack example, you could eliminate the semi-open leg shafts, e. Eliminating the bottom shelf entirely would provide better access for cleaning. If the underside is partially accessible, a self-driven vacuum robot could be utilized but would still require vacuum cleaning of each leg anchored to the floor. Other high-risk bacteria problems are the inability to properly clean equipment that has non-accessible void-space material e.

Coolers are high risk for microbiological and insect contamination and must have the highest sanitary design. There is a wide array of excellent reference material online for sanitary design of food equipment e. Finding such references is not the problem; rather, an issue seems to be a lack of food safety and sanitation understanding within the architect, construction, engineering, and equipment-supply worlds.

These industries probably did not have a food safety and sanitation curriculum in their studies. One practical solution is to better educate these professionals. Food safety leaders must reach out in some manner to reduce the continuation of poorly designed equipment. Offer workshops, provide references, and review blueprints and images to brainstorm solutions before installation. Instead of reacting with laborious cleaning after installation, build in solutions that are more proactive to reduce cleaning costs.

This activity will be a two-way learning curve as each will be learning from the other. However, it is not enough. Equipment manufacturers should be held more accountable.

As a condition of purchase, suppliers of food processing equipment should provide effective and efficient cleaning instructions. Providing this could move some suppliers into a more competitive advantage with better food safety and sanitation design. Another practical solution is for top management to consider food safety and sanitation in their planning, budgeting, and acquisition.

Low-cost equipment decisions can come with high-cost consequences. What does it cost to clean 50, warehouse storage rack legs four times per year? A million dollars?

What is the cost to eliminate Salmonella in a food plant that was contaminated from an outside bucket-lift elevator? FDA emphasizes that when evaluating hazards, food facilities must consider their effect on the safety of the finished food for consumers, as stated in 21 CFR For example, older equipment e.

Although older equipment is more expensive to maintain, new equipment should not be more expensive to clean. When one factors in cleaning costs, sanitary design of food equipment is not more expensive. Utilizing good sanitary design of food processing equipment will save money. Usually, the cases are presumed to have a common cause or to be related to one another in some way.

Sometimes distinguished from an epidemic as more localized, or the term less likely to evoke public panic. An outbreak is identified through laboratory surveillance or an increase in illness that is unusual in terms of time or geography. Register for United Fresh , June in Chicago.
