Up in Canada (at least my part), McDonald's coffee is a great affordable coffee. It's better than Starbucks or (🤮) Tim Hortons. It's not going to compete with a bespoke artisan coffee shop that squeezes cat butt glands or whatever justifies selling a $5 cup for $10, but it's better than almost everything else for the price.
Yeah I read that is a common option. Can't believe that from where I'm from, decent coffee joints are all over. Nobody I know would go to McDonald's for coffee
The town I live in has 2 Tims, 1 McDonald's, and no cafes. I never considered how deeply it would eventually hurt leaving a place with quality cafes and restaurants for a place without. At this point we're considering on just moving to an unorganized township because there's no point in paying the higher property taxes (there's a long list of complaints to go with that nugget).
The cost is twofold, justified by having:
1- actual quality cherries, grown and dried in a labor intensive ways by farmers actually making real money directly off of the sale of their coffee and-
2- small, local coffee Roasters actually taking care of the roast on a coffee you want to taste while also getting paid for their hard work.
That probably sounds fucking snobby as hell but it really makes a difference that is hard to ignore once you start tasting it.
No butt glands involved, feline or otherwise.
The real takeaway issue is $10 for a $5 cup of $.11 cents worth of ground coffee beans.
