What Is a Dunkin' Cold Brew?
Cold brew is made by steeping coarsely ground coffee in cold water for 12 hours or more, with no heat involved at any stage. Heat is what extracts the acidic and bitter compounds in coffee, so removing it produces a cup that's markedly smoother, naturally sweeter and lower in perceived acidity. It also extracts more caffeine per ounce, making cold brew the strongest standard coffee on the menu.
How Dunkin' Cold Brew Is Made
Grounds steep in cold water in large batches overnight, then the concentrate is filtered and served over ice. Because it's made in advance in fixed quantities rather than brewed to order, popular locations occasionally run out later in the day — an afternoon cold brew order is the one most likely to be unavailable.

How Much Caffeine Is in Dunkin' Cold Brew?
| Size | Caffeine |
|---|---|
| Small | 174 mg |
| Medium | 260 mg |
| Large | 347 mg |
At the largest size that is roughly 3.7× the caffeine in a standard 8oz home-brewed cup. Most health authorities treat 400mg a day as a reasonable ceiling for healthy adults, so a Large Cold Brew uses about 87% of that.
How to Customise Your Dunkin' Cold Brew
Cold brew takes cream particularly well; the sweet cold foam topping available at many locations was designed for it specifically. Sweetened swirls work but somewhat waste the point of the drink, since cold brew's appeal is its natural sweetness. If you normally sugar your coffee, try cold brew plain once before deciding.

Is a Dunkin' Cold Brew Worth It?
