Benjamin from Brother’s Campfire here!
While I personally do not know anyone from the Netherlands, to go Dutch is to pay for one’s own meal when dining out. (Edit- Alice from https://defrostingcoldcases.com/ is Dutch, so I take that back.)
Being a husband and a father, that is not typically how life is for me most of the time. I don’t even know why I started talking about this because today, I will be talking about something totally unrelated; Dutch Bros from https://www.dutchbros.com/ .
I have been to Dutch Bros coffee and I have spent good portions of my paycheck there and without regret.
That is, until I saw this!
😮 Is right! No Campfire needed? I was shocked! 😲.
Dutch Bros, there must always be a Campfire even if you have to improvise!
.
Ha ha! All silliness aside, after finding this advertising, I looked the company up.
Dutch Bros began with two brewing Brothers of all things, by means of a double head espresso machine and wide open barn doors. Sounds like excellent story material!
Honestly they sound like my kind of people.
They are dedicated to youth, healthy living, and helping the countries where they purchase the coffee beans from. In fact, they have also donated 1.6 million to breast cancer research. Pretty incredible if you ask me.
Well Dutch Bros, you didn’t know about Brother’s Campfire. It is always necessary and important if you ask me!
I will overlook your advertising and keep buying your amazing product. Keep up the great work, Dutch Bros!

How’s the coffee?
Very Good!
Good to hear. I deeply regret that I am becoming a bit of a coffee snob as I get older.
What is your brew of choice, Coffee Snob?
My all time favorite is from a company called Collectivo, out of Milwaukee.
Nice! When I visit, we can engage in outlandish acts of snobbery together!
Indeed!
You do know a Dutch person, me!
Yay!!! This makes me excited! High five!
I updated my post to reflect this. It should update soon!
Yeah!
🤠🔥
I love you Big Ben!
I love you as well!
Wow! I guess that’s why our local Dutch Bros is always 7 cars deep in a 2-lane drive-through! Thanks for the info! 🌞
It is a great experience! I recommend a few loose bills for a tip.
There’s always a way to find a way to heat a marshmallow. lol.. Wow, if there’s a line.. i leave!
Coffee is always ready at the Campfire! Perhaps I should start making coffee.
Now you’re on to something but those pods will be too time consuming -;)😂
Hmmm. … If I make it cost justifiable, I can work from home roasting!
There you go!!!
I am from New England .. I am Dunkin Donuts ALL the way ❤️ no others even hold a candle ❤️
The issue I have with Dutch Bros is well first the lines 🤨 oh for god sakes.
And then the menu is so crazy big 😮 you are so completely overwhelmed with what to get 😮
Too fancy for me. I like simple and well loved ❤️… so for me is always Dunkin ❤️
But I will say Dutch Bros coffee is very good… not wait in those ridiculous lines good, but it’s good.
Kinda expensive so I typically stay away from them.
I normally drink black coffee from a percolator, but I just had to do a post about Dutch Bros after seeing the advertising! Dunkin donuts coffee is good as well.
Lol… yeah I am always Dunkin’ lol … there are some things that I know what I like lol
I don’t see a lot of advertising – I don’t watch a lot of tv or things
I don’t even own a Television.
I own a television. It’s a smart one. Lol … kids gave it to me last year because I don’t watch tv lol 😄
So I have one? But I still don’t really watch it?? I am busy?? And there was always crap on
Ha ha! I am always looking for a blog post angle by doing something fun with my family or writing the ongoing tale, so my time is limited!
Well yeah… life lol … I miss having those shows I would just love – usually sitcoms
Although during the time period of 90210 – you were not allowed to speak during that show until commercial break lol 😄❤️ so yeah I miss having shows to love
But I don’t want to hear the news all the time, I don’t like so much ads, everything on tv seems mindless l?? I dunno? I somehow turned really old lol 😄✌️
I also like just the peace – in the same way some like the background noise – I like the silence ❤️
Television is mindless. I agree.
I have no shows to remember, but memories of trails I have walked and the imaginary adventures I had.
Well exactly… life and imagination are way better.
People always want to be entertained instead of figuring out fun?
I used to watch tv. Only since my surgery I do not really at all, unless my kids do?
I just stopped everything – tv was one. I walked out of life after that surgery✌️
It sounds like you revamped your life after surgery.
Well I just needed to step out. Away. From everything.
I needed that for my own healing. So here I am
Yes, Trisha, the super secret evasive blogger who is, shall we say, a little mysterious? 😆
Hahaha am I mysterious? Lol good – I like that ❤️✌️Keep you on your toes lol
Absolutely! It is your goal in the first place I believe.
Lol… well it’s a puzzle to solve lol 😄❤️✌️ or so I like to believe 😄
I suppose we all are a little jumbled up at times! 😮😁😅
Yeah that’s people in general.
I just like the mystery aspect cause then I have bits of privacy. And I don’t always like to be “read” lol
I get it.
What are your thoughts on Starbucks?
Hahaha Starbucks is Dunkin Donuts arch rival – no way lol 😝😝
And Starbucks is way too strong – these west coast people like to burn their brains awake with caffeine 😮
No I like a nice smooth yummy coffee that is affordable
And I usually brew my own also – but is always Dunkin either way lol ✌️😘
Affordable is good. If I recall, your job has some fancy machines.
Yes we have Keurigs with pods. We have some Dunkin pods and others also… there is also tea and other things those machines can do as well 😮
I have contemplated getting one for home? But then I also like having the pot I can just grab from and keep it heated?
I kinda like the pot?
I like the pot. I like McDonald’s Keurig pods but have never tried Dunkin. Tea is good. I will be covering tea in a post tomorrow.
I am coffee person – I only do tea when I am sick 😄
I relate having Tea to being sick or having surgery cause all I could have was clear liquid and tea was ok 🤨
We try different kinds? I am in charge of ordering all those things now … I have not ordered anything yet. We are not in need.
I make clear liquid diets at the prison. I know what you mean.
Do you have your Christmas shopping done?
Hahaha that’s funny
Nope I do not… I will have to finish this week… cause I will have to do most ordering online! I am almost done – I am not going crazy this year
I would like a nice subdued Christmas … I like when presents are not the focus and just being together is ❤️ my kids are amazing with that.
They spent a Christmas with me in hospital and they just don’t care with the presents anymore. ❤️
We still do some – just easy ya know? Sometimes they go too crazy (like with that TV last year ❤️ but is because they love)
I already have all my work people taken care of…
I just need few more for my landlord, her sister, some neighbors and my new car guy. Just a little something to show love, appreciation and thought ❤️
Are you done? 😮
Also… buying presents so early for me is terrible. I want to give the minute I get 🤨 I don’t like to wait to see the faces ❤️ I get very excited – I literally have to force myself to forget about it. Lol (I have already pregiven one present and gotten one myself lol – is me and the oldest – we are too much alike lol)
Ha ha! Thanks for sharing your Christmas gift style!
At our house we have some surprises, but many things are preplanned.
Family together is the most important part of the holidays. There is too much focus on stuff.
This year I am doing pizza 🍕 ❤️❤️❤️
And we just be together ❤️
I agree with commercialization of the Christmas holiday … I hate that. It’s disgusting
That is not the feeling of Christmas
Pizza here as well. Long time family tradition. Do you decorate for the holidays?
Usually I do huge traditional family meal… but thanksgiving burnt me out on that – so pizza it is ❤️
Give us better time together as I won’t be cooking thousands of things lol
Hmm… I did. I haven’t for years.
Before I got sick- oh did I decorate ❤️ I love holiday decorations
But I got sick- and I was sick for awhile … last year was my first Christmas NOT sick or in hospital… so last year I just took it easy.
I haven’t this year because … I don’t know? I don’t feel it?
2020 has been hard. There’s not much left to give.
Yes it has – but we are here ❤️ so far knock on wood
Perhaps there was somewhat to learn from it all.
Hopefully won’t be so bad this year with presents
Hopefully this year is more about what we have learned here and being together and remembering what Christmas even is
When I look back at our photos, things were actually pretty good all things considered.
Well yeah … I just have an aversion to over commercializing Christmas, that’s all
I believe it’s more than that. And should not be so present driven. Appreciate with love instead
Absolutely!
My home inside is decorated
Ours too. Small tree, nativity scene
I have small tree, Christmas candy dish, special Christmas things (little nicknacks ❤️) things that mean something to me or the kids
Do you have the “grandma” candy in the dish? You know, the stripy ones that no one but the elderly can find at the store?😅👵👵👵
Hahaha nope… it’s all our favorite chocolates lol ❤️
Ha ha! I am being mean. Sorry!
We’ve been to Dutch Bros and it was good. We missed a long line somehow but that one on Circle Dr where the Little Caesar’s used to be? There are always a couple of cars in the left turn lane waiting to get in there. I remember them moving really quick, though.
I enjoyed it. The lines weren’t anything worse than any other drive thru.
They should sponsor you now! 😅
Ha ha! Absolutely!
Se parecen a los molinos de un pueblo de España que se llama Consuegra. Salud y saludos.
Puede que sean de España, no estoy seguro. El molino de viento es una marca registrada para una empresa local de café aquí en los Estados Unidos.
