Dunkin’ Donuts Denied 'Best Coffee' Slogan
The eatery wanted to trademark the phrase “Best Coffee in America.” The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office said no. Do you agree with Dunkin’ or is there better coffee to be had right here in Westford?

Drive around Westford and it is evident there are plenty of places to get a hot cup of Joe. But who has the best?
Dunkin’ Donuts tried to stake the claim that its brew was the finest in America. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, however, just didn’t agree, according to The Boston Globe.
“Anyone at all can claim that their coffee is the ‘Best Coffee in America,’ ” trademark attorney Zick Rubin is quoted by the Globe as saying. “No one takes such a claim literally, and no one company can monopolize the phrase.”
What do you think? Is the best java in Westford at Westford Valley Market Place or Groton Road? Or is it elsewhere?

Funny enough, the best coffee I had was served to me at the Lowell Showcase Cinemas, about the last place I'd ever expect to serve great coffee.

I had a delicious cup of coffee at Kimball's yesterday. Probably the best I've had in town.
