SEVERAL customers at Dunkin’ are upset after a viral shaker sold out this month.
The fast food chain introduced the item with the intention of it being paired with a popular menu offering.

For only $12.99, Dunkin’ customers could get the Shakin’ Espresso Shaker while supplies lasted over the holiday season.
It sold out in a matter of days, was restocked, and then sold out “again” this week, per a post from food insider Markie Devo (@markie_devo) on Facebook.
Dunkin’s website also no longer shows the Shakin’ Espresso Shaker available for purchase.
The Shakin’ Espresso Shaker is effectively a shaker bottle that customers can purchase and re-use at their nearest Dunkin’ location.
It was made ideally for the Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso offering on its menu.
PERFECT PARTNERSHIP
The Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso was introduced at the end of December when Dunkin’ teamed up with singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter.
Dunkin’ made the move out of reference to Carpenter’s hit song “Espresso,” which topped the global music charts in 2024.
Along with a humorous ad campaign that saw the singer discuss how to “Shake That Ess,’” a signature Sabrina Carpenter Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso drink was created and offered to customers.
It includes espresso, brown sugar notes, ice, and oatmilk shaken together.
Competitors like Starbucks offer a similar variation.
Dunkin’ noted in a press release that the Sabrina Carpenter Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso was “hand-shaken behind the counter in a dedicated espresso shaker.”
Customers had the opportunity to do that themselves with the Shakin’ Espresso Shaker, and only some were able to get their hands on it before it vanished.
“Got it! Thanks,” a customer commented on Devo’s Facebook post about the product.
“I finally got it this morning yay,” another added.
Dunkin’ Winter Menu
Dunkin’s winter menu has seemingly been leaked by fans online. It will include the following offerings:
December 31, 2024, to February 4, 2025
Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso
Lava Cake Signature Latte
Lava Cake Coffee
Whoopie Pie Specialty Donut
Iced Lemon Loaf
$5 Meal Deal (Hot or Iced Coffee, Two Wake-Up Wraps)
January 29, 2025, to February 18, 2025
Cupid’s Choice Specialty Donut
Brownie Batter Specialty Donut
Valentine’s Sprinkle Munchkins
COMING BACK?
Others weren’t as fortunate with their attempts to get the item.
“Of course they have it in stock when I have no money,” a Dunkin’ fan fumed.
“Does anyone know if they would restock again? I really want it,” someone else wrote.
Devo replied that the re-stock would likely “happen randomly.”
That means Dunkin’ customers should remain on the lookout, watching the website and the chain’s socials for a potential announcement if the Shakin’ Espresso Shaker comes back.
The U.S. Sun has also contacted Dunkin’ for more information.
Dunkin’ also unveiled its first-ever holiday sugar cookie recently, but some employees warned they were “too expensive.”
Some Dunkin’ fans also spotted different logos at some of the chain’s locations recently, several years after it re-branded.
