Anyway, I love McD's coffee. That's my coffee of choice every morning. However, I do find that the taste/quality varies from one to the next, which to me, is disconcerting. McD's has built their brand on consistency. Their coffee from one to the next is not.

To whomever balked at the 'We'll put the cream and sugar in for you" policy... I wholeheartedly agree. I can't stand that policy. I know exactly how much cream/suger I want in my coffee. I have no idea how much they are putting in. Thankfully, the McD's near me still has the 'help yourself' cream/sugar station.
I have no problem admitting that I am a huge fan of Starbucks. I am a fan of coffee in general but I like coffees that are strong and bold and Starbucks and Seattle's Best seem to always be consistent with what I like. Yes I do admit that Starbucks can be pricey but it's what I like and I have no problem paying the $1.95 every morning for my venti bold. For what it's worth, I did finally try McDs coffee and it was good in fact much better than what I expected. For coffee that is served in a fast food chain restaurant like McDs, it is very good.
