How many times have you bought a hot cup of coffee from Dunkin Donuts and then got distracted by other things and by the time you got back to your coffee, it had got cold? We all know that cold coffee doesn’t taste great, so what to do with it? Is it just wasted or can you microwave coffee in Dunkin Donuts cups?
In this article, we answer that question, share some tips on microwaving Dunkin Donuts coffee, find out how we can tell if a cup is microwave safe and if you can use refillable cups at Dunkin Donuts.
Can you microwave Dunkin Donuts cups?
The first thing we want to focus on is can you put your Dunkin Donut cup in the microwave if you need to reheat your coffee? Is it safe?
The paper coffee cups from Dunkin Donuts are made to hold fresh coffee and keep the temperature of hot beverages for a long time, but with no need for an extra sleeve around it. The cups can withstand hot temperatures, so that should make them microwave safe. However, they are not.
The main reason the cups are not safe for reheating in the microwave is that the sides of the cups are sealed with adhesive glue that can melt and leak into the coffee. When the glue has leaked into the coffee, it is no longer safe to drink. When the glue melts, it can also distort the cup’s shape or they can leak if the seals split in the high heat.
Another risk is that the paper cup will burn because the high heat level in microwaves can create pockets of uneven heat. For more information on why heating your coffee using the Dunkin Donut cup is not recommended, visit My Kitchen Specs.
