<!-- Begin .post -->McDonald's coffee ranks high
McDonald's coffee was "decent and moderately strong," while Starbucks' was "strong, but burnt and bitter enough to make your eyes water," the magazine said.
McDonald's introduced coffee made from 100 percent Arabica beans, the kind used at Starbucks, a year ago.
The coffee from Starbucks, meanwhile, was determined to be "strong, but burnt and bitter enough to make your eyes water instead of open."
The testers also ranked coffee from Burger King and Dunkin' Donuts, which claims to serve nearly a billion cups a year. Neither stood up to the competition, the magazine said.
Burger King's brew 'looked like coffee but tasted more like hot water,' the report states, while Dunkin's 'was inoffensive, but it had no oomph.'
McDonald's was not only the best tasting, but was also found to be the least expensive cup, the magazine said.
I was still off, since the story ran in 2007. Meaning they changed the Coffee in 2006.
I only asked because I remember Years Ago ( talking 8+ years ago )
When I ate there for Breakfast and tried their Coffee. Which I didn't care for.
From that time on, if I stopped in to get a Egg McMuffin. I would never get it with Their Coffee, because I remember how Bad it was.

LOL, Let's Not get picky here. The Article ran on Feb. 7th 2007 and said it Changed it's Beans a Year ago ( 2006 ) Soooo, since we are towards the end of March..we can put it at 3 Years ago.
Then in my next Post, I said that I was Off. No harm, No foul.
Either way, I do remember it being bad Coffee " Back in the Day " (<)<
Will have to give it a Try.
Yes, the "old" coffee tasted like local gas station coffee!
The new coffee in the last couple of years is quite good, even in black.

Haha, I also think the cups are just right... not styrofoam-y or paper-ish. I go downstairs to the McD's under my work building instead of going to the local coffee place (on lobby floor) becuz I realized a large coffee at McD's was a few cents cheaper than a 20 oz cup at the coffee place. I usually like to shop at a local joint rather than a "chain" whenever I can, and that 'realization' was not happy for me but it adds up in saving cost with the great coffee at McD's anyway.

Miles Gilbert "Tim" Horton (January 12, 1930 – February 21, 1974) was a Canadian professional hockey defenceman from Cochrane, Ontario. He played 22 seasons in the National Hockey League for the Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Buffalo Sabres. He was also a businessman and the co-founder of Tim Hortons, now Canada's largest restaurant chain. He died in an automobile crash at St. Catharines, Ontario in 1974 at the age of 44.
Details of the fatal crash........
Early on the morning of February 21, 1974, Horton was driving on the Queen Elizabeth Way from Toronto to his home in Buffalo after the Sabres had played in Toronto the night before, in his De Tomaso Pantera sports car, a gift from Sabres' GM George "Punch" Imlach. He was negotiating a curve on the QEW where it crosses over Twelve Mile Creek in St. Catharines when he lost control and hit a concrete culvert. The impact flipped the vehicle and Horton, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected. Horton was reported dead on arrival at the local hospital. A police officer pursuing Horton's vehicle said that he had been travelling at over 160 km/h (100 mph).
There were reports that Horton had consumed a considerable amount of vodka, and was rumoured to have been taking pain killers due to a jaw injury suffered in practice the day before. An autopsy report released in 2005 showed Horton had a blood alcohol level of twice the legal limit. The blood test also showed signs of amobarbital, which was possibly a residue from the Dexamyl pills that were found on Horton's body. The autopsy showed no indication Horton was taking painkillers as previously thought.
Not long after Horton's death, Joyce offered Lori Horton (Tim's widow) $1 million for her shares in the chain, which included forty stores by that time. Once she accepted his offer, Joyce became the sole owner. Years later, Mrs. Horton decided that the deal between her and Joyce was not fair and took the matter to court. Mrs. Horton lost the lawsuit in 1993, and was declined for appeal in 1995. Lori died in 2000.[2] Tim and Lori left four daughters, Jeri-Lyn (Horton-Joyce), Traci (Simone) Kim and Kelly. Jeri-Lyn married Ron Joyce's son Ron Joyce Jr. and owns a store in Ontario.
Tim Horton is buried in York Cemetery Toronto.[3].
