McDonalds Coffee is Better Than Starbucks. amirite?

I totally agree with this, and appreciate that someone had the balls to say it. I like cheap black coffee; Starbucks black coffee is disgusting and McDonald's is pretty damn good.

Mcdonalds is known for having the one of greatest supply chain. They have an Big Mac index used to compare countries with Mcdonalds. They literally can source any food item. They have amazing chefs that recipe test all of their items. People think Mcdonalds and think crappy burgers instead of a very sophisticated restaurant company that can produce any quality food item that they want to. The distance between the level of skill and knowledge between Mcdonalds and a 3 star Michelin is huge. You see a Big Mac and you don't think that every single item on the burger is custom made for Mcdonalds but you would be wrong.

Didnt Tim Hortons have great coffee but they changed supplier, McDonald's grabbed that supplier and now Mcdonalds has good coffee and Tim Hortons is meh at best?

Yes, that is exactly what happened and when I switched from Tim's to Mcds. I hate Tim's coffee now.

Starbucks black coffee is disgusting Everyone knows it tastes like a burnt dumpster fire. That's why nobody going to Starbucks buys it (unless they load it up with sugar). Outside of their signature brew flavor of burnt sewage, the place isn't bad. Overpriced, but decent. People buy all the other specialty drinks that Starbucks wants to sell.

I think so too. A large iced coffee with cream and sugar is $2.13 at McDonald's and it tastes better in my opinion. I had Starbucks and it taste like burnt coffee. No thank you.

by Severe_Radish_4444 8 months ago

Black coffee to black coffee I would agree but Starbucks beats them in basically every other area because Starbucks isn't really about the coffee it's a milkshake you can acceptably drink 32oz of at noon

Why are you calling me out like this

by Anonymous 8 months ago

This has been my opinion for years. No one goes to Starbucks for coffee. They go there for a 900 calorie coffee-flavored milkshake. People who like coffee pretty much universally agree that Starbucks is almost undrinkable.

Mine so far has been blended super well. I actually found Starbucks not to be blended enough. Who knows, maybe that's how it's supposed to be in my case?

I'd agree with regular coffee, I don't like the Starbucks pike place roast. It's gross, the blonde is good, but not always available. McDonald's regular coffee is pretty good, I've never tried their sugary drinks. I'm sure all milkshakes with coffee are good

I genuinely believe this. I feel like Starbucks is driven only on the name brand, and societal peer pressure. It's like, people at work would look at you weird if you suggested anything but Starbucks after a 9am budget meeting.

Starbucks is lousy, but McDonalds coffee is slightly brown hot water. Entirely too weak - I'd prefer Speedway coffee at that price point.

I drink black coffee, no sugar, tried it numerous times from Tim's, McD's, A&W, lots of independent coffee shops etc etc, nothing beats a Starbucks Americano but I never go there anymore, don't care for their union busting tactics.

The biggest problem with McDonald's coffee is lots of staff do not properly clean the coffee maker. Starbucks is crap over roasted.

Do you mean McCafé? The coffee price in my country is very high, and I to be frank do prefer other coffees to McDonald's. But it's actually not bad, their cappuccino is quite nice once in a while, and it's considerably cheaper.

Actually, here in the United States we don't have stand alone McCafé shops! They are all integrated in McDonald's

Somebody told me this maybe 15 years ago when McDonald's revamped their coffee game but I haven't been to a McDonald's yet to verify. Also only had Starbucks once in the same time 🤷 (I managed a cafe and do drink coffee)

Everyone skimming the opinion and agreeing on the black coffee (I do too), but I'd prefer a specialty coffee from Starbucks over McDonalds any day. PS, compare breakfast sandwiches.

McDonalds so often has $1 any size hot or iced coffee in their app, so it is really hard to beat. I generally like the atmosphere of Starbucks better and they used to have a deal once a week (before the old Chipotle CEO took over), so now I just barely go there. McDonalds all the way. Nobody is touching the Panera sip club, though. Unlimited coffee, tea, lemonade, sodas for $13/month and it is a decent enough place to hang out. I just wish there were more locations.

by Holly88 8 months ago

Not exactly unpopular. I know quite a few people prefer just a simple, drinkable coffee instead of something absolutely loaded with sugar and cream. Getting just a coffee with cream at Starbucks is always disappointing.

by Anonymous 8 months ago

If you haven't purchased the red label McDonald's coffee grounds from the grocery store you are missing out. It's one of the consistently good tasting coffees to brew at your house. Ironically enough I don't like their coffee that they serve at their restaurants, but the home brewed is legit.

by Anonymous 8 months ago

As someone who worked at starbucks for a year and loves my coffee black, I 100% agree. Pike place is the worst tasting

Starbucks isn't a coffee shop anymore. They're a coffee-inspired milkshake shop. Their black coffee is garbage and all of their mixed drinks are made in a way to cover it up.
