They do pretty well with Sweet Tea - something hard to find in the
frozen north!

Better than Dunkin' Donuts? Even the Circle K in my area has pretty
decent coffee.

McDonald's upgraded their coffee a few years ago.

I think they are buying better quality coffee beans now. I thought it
was just a local thing because coffee is big here. What part of the
country are you in?

I thought they were serving Newman's Own these days. (They do here.)

Wow, I had some McD's coffee today and I was trying to determine what the
flavor reminded me of, and you jogged my memory. It tastes like it was
swished through a well-used ashtray. Maybe you got that nicotine thing
right.

I like it a lot. :-) Very good coffee.

When was the last time you really had any of their coffee?

Yesterday. I always drink it black.
I didn't say I disliked it, though. It has a very distinctive flavor, and
it's ashtray-esque.

the coffee the McCafes use here in Sth Australia (sort of a cafe within the
McDonald's, with different cafe type foods/drinks) has amazing coffee

the coffee you get if you go through the drive-through or at the counter of
the "normal" McDonalds however, is disgusting; it's made in one of those
push-button coffee machine thingy's

Do you smoke tobacco, by any chance?

I think they must buy premium coffees from the local area (haven't
thought to inquire). I really like the coffee at McD's and I'm hard
to please when it comes to coffee. It must be dark roasted - and it
can't be weak.

Too bad! We get good coffee without a McD cafe.

It's good business. McD can easily afford to buy the best coffee beans in
the world and they DO just that and sell it cheap, to get you coming back
for the rest of their sucky foods.

Imho,

Starbucks uses a very dark roast coffee, McDonalds doesn't. The type of
roast is very important to the flavour of the coffee.

That may be a regional thing. My local McDonalds uses an obviously
french roasted coffee. I haven't done my homework and actually
*asked* (didn't care as long as it's good), but you know the worker
bees won't know anything anyway.
