Are you done with Tim Hortons?

[R-Audi]

Based on Coffee in my building (Bow Valley Square) Tims is definitely the cheapest. Prices for a Large start there at $2.00 but go up to $1.25-1.50 more on the high end at Analog. I havent checked Starbucks in a while as its at the other end of the complex, but somewhere in the middle are Second Cup, Olly Frescos, A&W and Butcher and Baker which are all $0.25-0.75 more per cup.

While the quality isnt the best, I do like the Tims app. Place the order when Im across the street and my Coffee is there waiting for me instead of waiting in a line that is 5-15 people deep.

I like Tim Hortons coffee. I don't consider myself a coffee snob as I also like McDonalds as well as 7-11 coffee. I have tried many types of Starbucks coffee and hate them all. It always tastes like it has been sitting on the burner for over an hour. I still drink a lot of Tim Hortons but I rarely eat the food and if I do it's usually a bagel. As for the donuts I think they are okay. I don't eat them often but when I do they never taste as bad as some describe here. What gets me is the amount of people that eat their breakfast food. The quality is so inferior to McDonalds that I just can't understand how some people will eat powdered eggs and pre-cooked sausage/bacon sitting in heating trays when you can go to McDonalds, A&W, etc and get fresh foot for the same money.

The leaky lids are unacceptable though and I have thought many times about boycotting just because of the lids. I understand they are finally addressing the lids but I don't understand why it took so long. You can't carry a large or extra-large Tim's coffee without getting it on your hands and sleeve.

Forgot about the leaky lids haha, another reason I stopped going there for any reason other than convenience.

Best way to stomach Starbucks coffee is adding cinnamon. Just keep an eye on when you're getting close to the bottom because that...ooze...that builds on the bottom is the worst surprise when you're going bottoms up to finish it hahaha

Met someone at a Timmie's to discuss a job opening yesterday. My lid was leaking so bad it left a puddle on the counter before I even carried it to my table.

Stay classy tims.

If I do go to Timmys... I go for the er... steep tea. But I have to ask for one sugar instead of two. For some reason I find it two sweet.

I do find the sugar content of the foods waaay off the scale. Its not sweet, its sickly sweet if that makes sense.
I would not mind the doughnuts if they just cut the sugar content in half.

Steeped tea for the win. That's what I hate about 7-11 or McDonalds, having to toss out a tea bag.

And you certainly don’t want to be just “tossing “ around arrant Tea Bags. .. especially around the Holidays...

Only thing I ever get at Tim’s when I’m on the go at work and need a snack is a chicken wrap. I dislike their coffee now... I usually go to McDonald’s for coffee these days

Joys of the job, but I agree the chicken snack wraps are decent for a quick wolf down and go

Judging by the line ups to order this thread is fake.

I’m not a coffee drinker, but I hate everything Tim’s stands for. It’s basivally the lowest common denominator of Canadian citizens who patronize them. Idiots will sit in a drive thru for 20 minutes just to get a cheap coffee ffs.

They likely listen to pop country too.

I love that about them though. I drive up, see 12 cars waiting at the drive-thru, park my car and walk in. I'm done in the time it takes them to move 3 cars up. As opposed to Starbucks who will serve 6 drive-thru people before even acknowledging your existence inside. Or any of the fancy coffee places where you have to be a down-town worker to patronize. Then there's McD's, where I do like their coffee, but it's 2/3's the caffeine and you have to wait for the even lower common denominators ordering lunch for their entire crew of 12 people.

It's true and a great reminder that the posting population on Beyond is incredibly small.

The weird thing is that Tims isn't really cheaper than other similar options like McDicks.

I can't stand the white trash clientele as mentioned earlier whom bring their crew of workers whom haven't showered since the new year in for double doubles and sandwiches. I just wonder: have you guys ever heard of packing a lunch?!

Caffeine amount per dollar is better value.

McDonalds Medium (475ml): $1.62 (includes free coffee every 7th) 145mg caffeine = 1.18C per mg
Tim Hortons Medium (425ml): $1.98 205mg = 0.97C per mg
