Why does it take you longer than 30 minutes to drink a coffee? I've never done that.

Factor in a 15 minute drive, 15 minutes of getting settled at work, and [x] amount of time forgetting about the coffee.

I just use my own Starbucks coffee cup, don't have that problem. You can do that at Mcdonald's too.

I tried McDonalds coffee when they first introduced it, and I've never been able to drink a Timmys since. I could drink McDonalds coffee black, it's that good. I avoid Timmys unless there's no other option.

and to top it off, they have the best hot liquid cup design. The cup is layered multiple times from top to bottom, rather than being a single layer paper cup from Timmy's that leaves your coffee cold in 30minutes, or the single layer + cardboard sleeve at Starbucks doing pretty much the same thing. The Lid is also superior to all, being much more secure on the cup and not leaving coffee drips allover your cupholders and surrounding area.

I noticed this too. A lot of thought went into the design of the cup and lid. Wonder if it had anything to do with that stupid lawsuit a long time ago.

They've always had good, consistent coffee. Their ice coffee is also better than Timmy Ho's.

I felt like I was slighting all Canadians when I said I didn't like Timmy's coffee, but this thread made me feel at peace with my anti-nationalistic attitudes towards coffee. Thanks beyond.

Starbucks Pikes blend > McD > Timmies

I actually rather like McDonald's coffee. I drink all my coffee black besides timmies. I get a double double there because without cream and sugar it tastes like liquid charcoal.

... wat?

You mean it's the best option from McDonalds?

I'm sure mcdonalds has better menu options. I'm saying for breakfast only....when you compare a bowl of cereal, a timmies breakfast sandwich, yogurt and fruit, etc, you get the best balance of energy from protein and "not too bad for you" from the mcmuffin....skip the damn hash brown and juice though.

They get even better for you when you make em at home

I grabbed some breakfast from Mcdonalds today, and what everyone is saying about their coffee is correct. It keeps a good temperature for over half an hour, their cup spout design is awesome, I must be special needs or something but I would always spill tims coffee on myself. Also its really smooth no bad aftertaste.

I am not a coffee connoisseur but a 8 year occasional drinker of exclusively tims double double. I think I am convinced!

i think its tim for a canadian coffee chain, affordable, and attracts the starbucks type/construction worker. yes tim hortons was canadian but we need a new one. second cup seems to be going out of business in calgary closing about 6 stores recently

Second cup to me is garbage. A few of there issues are the fact that because its not a chain and there seperatly owned it doesent have the standards like starbucks has, the beans they use are not that good, and because theres no standards they seem to open and close when ever they want.

Oh and don't forget about FREE refills (I think)

Yeah, one free re-fill as long as you stay there and eat.

I've always thought of McDonald's coffee to be better.

Timmy's hashbrowns taste nasty..

I drink two a day and three on weekends. I got an espresso machine at home and use starbucks beans. Starbucks has the best espresso around. Very smooth and great taste.

You need to get out more... Starbucks espresso is gross, tastes like brewed charcoal.
Try some Black Cat from Deville or some JJ Bean from Bumpy's.

I have one of these machines (Keurig) and they do have little filter baskets that you can put your own grinds in if you don't want to use the cups. I haven't used it yet because I still have about 150 of the pre-made cups to go through first. Also, there are distributors of the cups that sell them for a lot cheaper in bulk than places like Home Outfitters.

We've got one of the upper level consumer models of the Keurig machines at my pt job. The thing is awesome. I'm starting to look forward to going to work for a cup of coffee!
