I have never met a bigger group of morons in my life than in this thread, congratulations for eliminating my faith in the intellect of humanity.

Honestly, the coffee at the McDonald's in Germany and the Netherlands is really good. Better than many coffee shops and Starbucks. It's the only reason I sometimes go to McDonald's. When traveling, it usually is the best you can get at train stations. Especially when drinking black.

    Will have to test that out if I ever visit! Here in Canada, it's mildly better than Tim's but it's still just stained water IMO. Rather go to a real coffee shop, or god forbid, Starbucks.

    I prefer my freshly grinded home brew. I'm never drinking Starbuck, it's tasteless toxic junk. It's not even in the coffee category. I prefer drinking my own piss over that equally disgusting yet expensive liquid waste.

    Same tbh, still better than Tim's / McD somehow. There's a community roasting facility near where I live, and it means I'm surrounded with excellent coffee shops that roast their own beans there, so whatever I buy and grind myself from these shops will be excellent.

    Edit: Tim's = Tim Hortons

    I think most people overlook the importance of drinking really good coffee. Sure, you get some caffeine from blackwater, but the moment of enjoyment when drinking something proper, that moment of bliss in the morning, makes your day start so much better. Mediterranean countries understand this principle. Same goes for food.

    Also, I don't know what Tim's is.

    I was shocked at how crappy Tim's is when I finally visited for the first time. I thought it was supposed to some sacred institution beyond reproach, but it's just the worst chain trash. Like Seattle's Dick's.
