The iced beverage boasts a combination of espresso, brown sugar “notes,” and oat milk. Before indulging, Chapman mentioned hearing that oat milk adds a creamier texture to the drink. “It’s pretty strong coffee, but being a coffee enthusiast, it’s fine, and it is indeed creamy — she’s correct,” Chapman remarked, confessing that she had just discovered the “Espresso” singer moments before recording her review. “Her name is Sabrina Carpenter, and I’ll look her up when I return home, but at least now I know this drink was named after her,” Chapman continued. “I’m clueless as to why, but I’ll investigate and keep you informed.”
Wrapping up her video, she expressed her delight in savoring the chilled beverage despite the wintry conditions. “I’ll enjoy my espresso and catch up with you later.” Chapman’s welcoming demeanor received an outpouring of admiration in the comments. “Omg we must protect you at all costs,” a TikTok user wrote. “Grandma C you are SLAYING!” exclaimed another, with someone else chiming in, “new favorite influencer.” Another commenter found Chapman’s content “adorable” and expressed gratitude for the joy it brought, stating, “you’re adorable. I think you’ve healed something in me. Thank you.”
The most notable response came from Carpenter herself, who affectionately commented, “I love you grandma C 💋.” Chapman reciprocated, replying, “I love you ❤️❤️.” On January 4, Chapman followed up on her review, sharing that she had delved into the music of the “Taste” singer and enjoyed a few of her tracks. “The key to happiness is sipping an espresso and listening to Sabrina Carpenter,” Chapman remarked as “Espresso” played in the background. Speaking to TODAY.com, Chapman expressed joy in bringing happiness to others and highlighted her appreciation for the diverse feedback she receives from individuals of all ages. She mentioned that some young viewers had requested she go live on TikTok, and she happily obliged on a few occasions.
Chapman initiated her online presence two years ago following her retirement to assist her daughter with childcare, including her granddaughter Olivia, who introduced her to TikTok. “She suggested that I should start reviewing things, so I did the reviews, but she picked the items,” Chapman shared. Another familiar name joined in praising Chapman’s review: Dunkin’. A representative from Dunkin’ expressed admiration for Chapman’s initial experience with Sabrina’s Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso, stating, “Grandma Carol Chapman’s first sip of Sabrina’s Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso has charmed us all!” The representative added, “It’s moments like these — filled with charm and humor — that keep us runnin’ on Dunkin’!”
