The secret to McDonalds coffee is Salt lol. You can add salt to bitter coffee to make it better but it’s an additional step in the process.

Way better than the two times I was at a Starbucks where they looked at me pretty funny when I said „no, I just want a plain cup of black coffee, no sugar, no milk“ and it was…ugh…. No idea how it is now, but apparently they upped their game back then when they opened up these McCafes here.

learnincurve posted:The secret to McDonalds coffee is Salt lol. I always add a bit of salt. Learned that from basically the best coffee maker I ever visited in Italy. I can taste absolutely zero difference, and still assume she was mocking me, but what is a sprinkle of salt anyway? (I also add like a third teaspoon of proper roasted cacao on like eight cups of coffee, and there I can taste the difference.) I also mostly drink tea since about three years, so there‘s that.

italian quid posted:the problem with all these rumours is that Tim Hortons coffee has always been trash, never once in my life have I had a good Tim Hortons coffee. The people who think Tim Hortons coffees were/are good are the same people who think they need some massive loving half ton truck or SUV to take their kid to school when it snows out. yeah no one who actually likes tim hortons coffee drinks it black they're always double double or triple triple, so I guess these people like Nielsen Milk and Redpath sugar or something I worked at Tim Hortons in high school it's a poo poo job be kind to your underpaid coffee slingers thanks

McCafe started in location of the last race about 25-ish years ago. Local city franchisee got sick of everyone walking past McDonalds in the morning to get their coffee and actually bought some espresso machines with halfway decent coffee and pastries, put a quick counter in the front of some stores, and had enough success that higher ups at McDonalds started noticing and spread from there. No-one was going there previously because every corner cafe in Melbourne had an espresso machine and made far better coffee due to massive migration of Italians and Greeks post WW2. Ultimately Starbucks tried to move in mid 2000s and largely failed and had to close most stores due to their coffee being complete garbage and overpriced in comparison to anything from any random place in Melbourne.

Oh, not surprised it started way sooner in other countries. When it came over here, there was just the breakfast stuff with the EggMcMuffin and terrible coffee. Then they rebranded by dropping the red color for green, and adding the McCafe lounges to places, and the coffee I got there was at least okay. Only ever had Starbucks two times while waiting on a trainstation for someone and it was always ugh….

Yes, no one in England regularly drinks a blend of Ceylon, Kenyan, and Indian black teas that has been one of the Western world's most popular for at least 150 years. Universally known for being particularly robust and rich, said blend also somehow manages to be "tasteless and bland," possibly because no one is drinking it.

Tbf, I don’t think it’s just the British. My Swedish grandmother (she spoke the language and was super racist) preferred to cook everything with the following seasonings: salt, butter. She ate lutefisk at Christmas every year until she died.

Yorkshire tea or supermarket own brand "strong tea" herbal tea isn't tea, I'm sure lots of people like it but it's a herbal infusion. Also Americans keep calling my tortoise a turtle and I'm very distressed about this
