sbcmfc Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I’m not a big Coffee drinker, but occasionally get a McDonald’s coffee at the drive through when I’m driving for work. I thought it was decency enough and better value than most places. £4 for some hot water and milk seems excessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am saying is the coffee from McDs, Tim Hortons, Burger King, is all the same. I agree in expensive coffee, if that is your thing. I cant justify myself spending £5 on one cup of coffee, or tea for that matter. Now Scotch, that is another matter. I have no probs dropping £70 on a bottle of Oban.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Beem Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I’m a bit of a coffee snob to be honest and although it sounds pretentious, Id have to say the best coffee out there is Mellow Birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sell a good Irish tea at my local supermarket which I like. But near enough all coffee here is shite(cheap or expensive) compared to where I said.

They do call it McCafe, but they don’t do any speciality coffees, in fact that’s their marketing campaign just now, that it’s none of your fancy shite, it’s just decent coffee...

Scotty CTA Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 They currently have a month-long promotion (to counter Tim's 'rrrrrrrrroll up the rim to win' promotion) where any size coffee is a dollar.

It was in 1973 (and I've only mentioned it to a couple of folk recently). He was the first NHL hockey player that I had ever met. Newspaper photos exist (from the promotion I attended) and I really should try and track them down in case I'm in any of the non-published ones. Got (and still have) his autograph twice. 2 hours ago, Toepoke said: Do you buy 2 when there's a NASA thread on the go? No, I make the one last all day, but would love to spend more time in 'Anything Goes'. (Hoping to get back soon.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only chain here who serve palatable coffee is Cafe Nero. Mcdonalds coffee is rank man, agree with you. I try just take a flask to work as im out in the van all day and hate paying over the ods for it. When I lived in Canada Timbits were great and as theyre wasnt a Tim Hortons where we were it was a bonus when someone brought some back. Didnt drink coffee back then though. Still havent tried it in glasgow either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
