Coffee is a laxative.

[JRSC00LUDE]

:werd: , if you're sensitive to it coffee can greatly increase you chances of grease!

[ken-gsr]

I have never noticed a problem before. Then again coffee gives me gut rot in the first place.

[QuasarCav]

Oh Tim Hortons why does your...

Coffee taste like shit
Lineups take forever
Staff not speak english
Customers want to specify each donut in their dozen
Surly tradesmen order 8 fucking coffees
Parking lot not have enough space


I switched to Statbucks / Second Cup almost 2 years ago and I've not looked back. The extra .25c is worth the sanity.

LOOOOL. So true. The reason why it's so slow is because they can't speak much english. Grr! Plus because it's so bad to work there, there aren't any long term employees so you almost always deal with people who've been there for a few weeks, etc.

What are you talking about?

The coffee tastes great
Lineups, even with 15+ people only take minutes
... you got me there on the staff not speaking english lol
most people ask for assorted... i find the worst is the people who want specific timbits :guns:
Those tradesmen have friends? :dunno: I order 4-5 coffee's when i go for my buddies at work.
Yeah... their parking lots suck... god bless the 5 minute +15 walk for me ;)

But yeah, starbucks and second cup gets points for their Baristas haha

[JRSC00LUDE]

I've always kind of wondered about that. Timmies here are all excellent for service and faster than you would think. Everyday they'll have a dozen cars through the drive-through (or people lined up at the counter) through in 5 mins. or less. It's actually quite impressive. But, whenever I go to one in another town they are always slow as all hell, f up orders, etc. etc.

Got to be the management/ownership.

[Tik-Tok]

The coffee quality differs between Timmy's, some burn the shit out of it on a regular business (Tim's on Mcknight/McCall Way), some are pretty consistantly good (Tim's on 32nd/12th)

Line-ups take forever because both the customers and employees are morons... customers because even though they are in line for 10 minutes, they wait until they're at the counter to decide what they want, and employees because they're (for the most part) lazy and slow as hell, english speaking or not you can still watch a snail crawl faster then they can walk to a coffee machine.

Staff not speaking english is a regional thing. Most in the NE and NW don't speak it because most of them are FOB's. Go to a Timmy's in an older established neighborhood, and you'll find english (Deerfoot Meadows, Southland/Bonaventure).

Their parking spots suck, because this is Calgary. Parking sucks EVERYWHERE (except Costco)

As for the bowel problems... might I suggest Depends?

You call french fries coffee? :D

[Euro_Trash]

The worst are the bagel-butterer people, at least at the Timmy's I go to. Takes a whole ice cream scoop of butter, puts in on one half of the bagel and pretends to spread it around, then I am driving and butter is oozing down my arm. Not very nice at 6 in the morning

[legendboy]

stay OT! why does timmys make your bum squirt

[Euro_Trash]

Coffee is a diaeretic :dunno:

no no no regular coffee does not make me go like timmys does, i drink decaf also.....

even the hot choclate does it, ice cap.....doesn't matter

[Euro_Trash]

Do you go to the same Timmy's everytime?
Maybe someone there doesn't like you and slips something in your order... did you break a Tim Hortens employee's heart and they are seeking revenge on you?

[ruxtonc]

I find timmies has a great drive through..line ups move quickly. The only problem I have is...I am tired of repeating myself a dozen times before they think they have my order right...I get to the window and it is all wrong. Then they get mad at me because I tell them it is wrong. I don't like Starbucks coffee at all so I get mine at 7-11 ahahaha. it is close by and they all speak English...

[CompletelyNumb]

6 year bump :burnout:


Tim's is shit. I go there for roll-up, otherwise mcdonalds has better coffee.

[eblend]

I thought I was the only one. I usually get a Tim's every couple of days if I feel constipated, within 30 min I am free flowing :eek:

I do find that it varies by location. The one in Centennial Place downtown is almost guaranteed runs, whereas the one at my new place around Bow Valley Square seems to be okay.

I hate the taste of any coffee, purely a social thing.

[ExtraSlow]

Why oh why can't Tims figure out how to make a lid that doesn't leak? MacDonalds have better cups, better lids, and the coffee is no worse.

I have a couple co-workers that have got me hooked on the fancy coffees from artigiano, but if I'm out driving around, MacDonalds gets my buck most times just because of the superior cups and lids.

Probably because it's cheaper to use the shitty lids that Tim's uses.

Every black coffee I've ever ordered from Tim's, Starbucks, or Second Cup tastes like burnt garbage. I believe they roast all their beans so much to mask the fact that they aren't fresh (that is what a roaster in Montana told me anyway).

Cafe Atrigiano is the best drip coffee downtown that I've tried. Deville is good too. Same price as the rest as well, just less convenient locations.

Don't get black coffee then?
2nd (or 3rd) for Artigiano...it's the best and well worth the walk from the office.

^^^ THIS

The reason they taste like burnt coffee is that they buy cheap beans on the market and roast the shit out of them. Buying local and spending that few dollars more makes a huge difference. I buy the competition blend at Fratello here in Calgary and it is hands down the best espresso beans I have ever tasted.

Also if you are on a budget or just shop at Costco lots than buy a bag of the salt spring coffee. I was amazed at the quality and taste for the price.


I once had a sip of Tim Hortons coffee and had to dump it out. It was straight up disgusting.

I drink Caffe Artigiano every day of the week and its great, plus the people at the Shell building one are very happy and pleasant.

Switch to cream cheese.

Coffee is disgusting.

I only drink coffee black haha, so that's what I like to order. I just go to the better places whenever possible, or else stick to Americano's as the espresso is usually better tasting than the drip coffee.

[dirtsniffer]

oh man, love artigiano. worth the walk atleast once or twice a week.
