You have to hand it to Dunkin\u2019. They\u2019re really leaning into to this whole drop-the-\u201cdonuts\u201d-from-our-name-and-focus-on-coffee thing. They are taking their slogan, \u201cAmerica runs on Dunkin\u2019,\u201d a little too literally, or at least they would be if their slogan was \u201cAmerica lives in a tiny house that runs on Dunkin\u2019.\u201d For a limited time, Dunkin\u2019 is renting out a tiny house on AirBnB<\/a> that is powered by used coffee grounds.<\/p>\n

The new ad campaign, presumably thought up by my aunt who lives in the Northeast and \u201cwishes she could live in a cup of Dunkin\u2019 coffee,\u201d coincides with Dunkin\u2019 Donuts Coffee at Home<\/a>, the brand\u2019s push into the at-home market. So they made a home\u2026 at which you can make their coffee\u2026 to power the home.<\/p>\n

According to their website, Dunkin\u2019 partnered with Blue Marble Biomaterials<\/a>, \u201ca sustainable biochemical company,\u201d to create eco-friendly biofuel from 65,000 pounds of spent coffee grounds. The biofuel is created by putting extracted coffee oils and through a chemical process known as \u201ctransesterification,\u201d which then gets \u201cwashed and refined.\u201d For every 170 pounds of coffee grounds processed, a total of one gallon of biofuel is created, which means Dunkin\u2019 and Blue Marble created a little over 380 gallons.<\/p>\n

For only $10 a night, two guests can stay in the 1 bed\/1 bath \u201cstudio\u201d currently located in \u201cbeautiful Nahant, MA, providing picturesque views of the Atlantic Ocean and Boston skyline,\u201d per the AirBnB listing<\/a>. \u201cIt is designed and decorated to look as modern as it runs,\u201d\u2014which may not be the best way of describing it, seeing how it runs on old, used (not modern) coffee\u2014\u201cfeaturing a chic aesthetic with custom-designed elements.\u201d And of course, guests have access to unlimited, presumably Dunkin\u2019, coffee as well as a \u201ccozy coffee nook\u201d to drink it in. And here\u2019s a fun fact: the interior was designed in partnership with actress Olivia Wilde. That\u2019s cool I guess. Not really sure how it ties in to everything else going on here, but that\u2019s what happened. Olivia Wilde designed the interior.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll be lucky enough to book time in the Home That Runs On Dunkin\u2019. The tiny home is only available for rent until October 26th<\/sup> and I\u2019d bet dollars to donuts that it\u2019s completely booked. But, if you want to see what it looks like, a tiny 360 virtual tour is available on the Dunkn\u2019 Donuts Coffee at Home website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
