I always wondered why Starbucks and McDonalds didn’t figure a way to put a mini Starbucks kiosk in a McDonalds.

They can start by not mixing sugar and cream together. I can’t get a cream only ice coffee there.

I never ever understood the whole Starbucks thing

The money is in the Beverages.

I would bet that a McDonalds Coke costs less than the ice and cup it is in.

I like my Starbucks and can drink MCD coffee if I have to, but it certainly is not good coffee. Nothing there is really good.

Starbucks is burned and overpriced; McDonalds’ coffee is as weak as dishwater. I like Dunkin Donuts, brewed at home so strong it can nearly walk.

In my rural/urban neck of the woods, you have to get in the car, or ride the local transit bus, to get to the two McDonald’s. To do this on the bus route controlled by the town across the river, means over the river and back, in a mere 30 to 45 minutes, once the bus manages to arrive where you have been standing in the elements, faithfully, adding another 15 to 20 minutes, to your one way travel.

All for a McDonald’s cup of coffee? (I know, I know ...it’s McDonald’s! (heavenly choir))

So, I offer you an imaginary ceramic “coffee brand” mug, with a “plastic cone with paper filter filled with a scoop of your favorite grind”, a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup filled with “WATCH IT!!” piping hot water, and, the ‘flavor enhancers’ of your choice. All done in the complete time of 4 minutes and 35 seconds.

And you can keep your bunnies on, nice and clean and dry.

When it comes to iced coffee, McD's has it all over Starbucks. I have them add an extra shot of espresso ... much better than Starbucks, and a bigger size for a lower price. But as far as hot coffee goes, roasting and grinding your own is the only way to go, and with a little home espresso machine ... ahhhh :-) ☕
