McDonald's raises bar on coffee: MCD v. Starbucks grudge match?

I was surprised that you coffee at the Bay Area has improved wonderfully. when I went to BK last week cuz it was close to work BLAH! so Starbucks costy and yours are just good as it is. I would love to have your egg Mcmuffin muffin toasted which is one reason I stop ordering #3 cuz I want my muffin toasted not steamed.

y is everyojne making a big deal. starbucks is bitter and way overprices, but if your craving for coffee and your near one than, ill get it. everyone is so concerned about staus, rather than quality. if you can save money and get something that tastes great does it matter, does it make someone wealthier just because they walk around with a starbuck plastic cup? people who like good things and save miney on the less expensive brands are the ones that have the money. most people who drink starbuck are jyst wannabes and are material rich and cash poor.

McDonald's is for us who'd like a great cup of coffee hot or cold and still be able for the kids to have a good time too.
Starbucks and kids don't go together well. Remeber Starbucks doesn't support our troops (yes you can support our troops and not the war).

Coffee is not a lifestyle or an experience. Anyone that says it is really needs to get a life. It's only coffee. I've never been to Starbucks and don't plan to go to one. I fix my Folger's at home or go to McDonald's when I'm away. Coffee is coffee. I don't need all the foam, fluff, flavor and lingo that goes with Starbucks. Just my coffee.

Mc to sell coffee? Yeah ... right ...their coffee will smell like the dirty greasy French fries they serve. Their food sucks !

as soon as starbucks adds a drive thru service they will be racking in the money hand over fist...The only reason I go to dunkin or mickey D's is so I don't havta drag my kids out of the car!!!

We all tried the McDonald's lattes and ice mochas in my family. They were equal to the gas station push a button lattee machine coffee, acutally worse! They were all TERRIBLE!!! I took about 3 sips of mine and tossed it. The other 2 people got iced mochas and drank half ending up with stomach aches that lasted all day long! We will NEVER get McDonald's Speciality Coffee again!!! They need to stick with what has made them what they are for breakfast... just regular coffee.

I agree, MCDEES is one great coffe and I like that strong brew. I also like starbucks, but for my money I will stay with MCDEES.
And let the yuppies waste there money on a so called brand name.....

Don't you just "love" biased propaganda reporting? As if having a McDonald's clerk that has stuck her/his hands in greasy fries before putting cream in your coffee is some kind of competitive advantage. Puhleeeez

I don't want someone putting cream in my coffee. Starbucks allows everyone to put their own cream in their coffee because the customer can adjust how much goes in the serving of coffee. Also, McDonald's only has one type of cream. Starbucks has nonfat milk, whole milk, lowfat milk and regular cream

You are not eating trans fats with your Mickie D's coffee. For excellent coffee, served quickly at a very affordable price, go to McDonalds. If you want to look for a parking place, check out what your fellow Yuppies are wearing & spend two hours of your salary, go to StealYourBucks!

I like coffee in general. Starbucks is very good coffee. I, personally, like the Sumatra best. However I also enjoy McD's coffee and the new version is much better than the old.

If you find it too strong or bitter add a little hot water and thin it out. Ditto for the Starbucks, a little hot water really abates the bitterness.

I think the only reason starbucks tastes good enough to buy is all of the cream and flavoring they put in the expensive mixed coffe drinks. If you want your java for a reasonable price, and you get the regular coffee, you find out fast that the coffee they use isnt very good tasting at all. the good part of going there is the seats, lighting and music. the coffe is so-so. I like mcds better for just coffee; but if you want to sit and think or meet a friend its starbucks.

The old "Automat" in NYC had them both beaten by miles, but given the choice, MacDonald's wins. Starbuck's doesn't even taste like coffee to me. It tastes like; I don't know..........Starbucks?
