I Tried Ben Affleck’s Brand-New Iced Coffee at Dunkin’

If you tuned into the Super Bowl last weekend, you likely witnessed one of the most talked about commercials of the evening. Ben Affleck formed an iconic boy band that included both Matt Damon and Tom Brady to express their love of Dunkin’ coffee. While Affleck was born in California, the star was raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts and remains loyal to the chain. And now, Dunkin’ has rolled out a limited-time menu called the DunKings to honor the ad — and it even includes Affleck’s go-to drink.

Beginning on February 12, the chain released the menu that includes a few drinks and breakfast staples, but most notably, the DunKing’s Iced Coffee, the official drink of Ben Affleck himself. As described by Dunkin’, the iced coffee includes notes of vanilla and is topped with sweetened cold foam and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.

As a coffee lover, I headed over to my local Dunkin’ to give the concoction a try for myself. The drink defaults to a size medium for $3.99, but I asked for the smaller size which totaled $3.69 before tax. The ingredient list encompasses two french vanilla swirls, two shots of vanilla, two pumps of cream, one dollop of cold foam, and a dusting of cinnamon sugar.

I typically drink my coffee unsweetened, so the sugary taste took me by surprise. The vanilla flavor is strong, so if you love sweet french vanilla coffee, this would certainly be something to consider. I would categorize this as more of a dessert drink rather than a morning coffee, but if you’re looking for a sweet treat as an afternoon pick-me-up, this fits the bill. 

While the menu is only available for a limited time, you can always hang onto the ingredients for your Dunkin’ barista after it’s officially gone, and of course, thank them with a good tip.
