But the idiots who wait 15 minutes in the Starbucks drive thru lane don’t quite get it yet.
McDonald’s beats Starbucks in coffee smackdown
In the ultimate coffee smackdown, it was yuppie Starbucks vs. Ronald McDonald.And the clown won.
Consumer Reports magazine said today that in a test conducted at two locations of each emporium, its tasters found McDonald’s coffee to be “decent and moderately strong” with “no flaws.” On the other hand, the Starbucks brew “was strong, but burnt and bitter enough to make your eyes water instead of open.”
Yeah, when will people realize that Starbucks is selling charcoal impregnated water, not coffee! While I’d have a hard time saying I’m a fan of McDonald’s coffee, the new stuff they have is certainly much better than it used to be. It is definitely drinkable.
Thanks to Silent Running for finding this one for me!

Good Coffee…
Consumer Reports rates McDonald’s coffee more highly than you might think…….

Ahhh, vindication at last. I had always disliked Starbucks coffee. People thought that I was insane. I thought it tasted burnt. Guess my coffee tasting ability is higher than the average lemming.

Same here. When Starbucks first came out, I tried their coffee a few times, thought something was wrong with me that I didn’t like the so called premium coffees. Then I realized, it was just charcoal flavored water. Blech.
Damn I love the Keurig coffees I get!
