the problem with the coffee is the consistency. not of the coffee, but of preparation. one day it's all hazelnut. one day it's all cream, one day it's all coffee. you're supposed to get the same thing at every mcdonalds all the time everywhere. that's the beauty of mcdonalds. there should be no need for disappointment because you already know what you're gonna get. ba da ba ba ba, i have a better idea. how about breakfast served all day? who doesn't want that?

Actually McDonalds beat Starbucks in a taste test done by Consumer Reports earlier this year. CR called Starbucks coffee "burnt and bitter". For coffee purists, McDonalds will be fine.

I had an iced coffee drink at one of the test stores over the summer and it tasted like ass. I couldn't even finish half of it, and the awful aftertaste lasted for hours. And I should note that I'm not anywhere close to being a coffee snob. So while this might get people into coffee drinks that otherwise didn't drink them at all, unless they reformulate if you're used to Starbuck's or Caribou these drinks ain't going to cut it.
