I agree with Gourmet Bride, SB tastes burnt. And they have no idea how to make a good cup of hot chocolate. Our mgmt will bring big containers of SB to the office every once in a while. If I really need the caffiene boost, I will have a cup of starbucks. But I hold my nose so I dont have to taste it as much. Terrible stuff.

Hi Suanne/Ben

Talking about coffee war between McD & Startbucks, both are from USA, not Canada. Want to try out my “Latte Lounge” Coffee machine from Vanhoutee coffee? It’s free if you blog for me, hehhehhe.Let me know if you’re interest to try on early morning during weekend (I know your family are all early bird, unlike me). I will inform my staff to give you a free fill on all type of coffee (if I’m not wrong, there are about 60 types).

Only 2-3 “Latte Lounge” in Richmond. BTW, this machine is made in Quebec, Canada

I find SB way too strong…if I have to go there, I ask for a mild roast or just add 1/4 hot water to the cup. McD coffee has improved much in the past year. While they are offering free coffee in the morning, bring your own travel mug and they fill it up regardless the size altho it’s supposed to be “small”. At any rate, Timmy’s is still the best!!

Nothing beats McDonald’s muffin and coffee for $1.39.

Hmm, I prefer McD’s over Starbucks. I don’t like the “burnt” taste from SB.

I have to go with Starbucks. Nothing like a coffee with a shot of vanilla. Plus, I like their lid! It reminds me of a little kid sippy cup which, for me (not a morning person), is kind of comforting in the morning. Yes, I know I’m weird!

I’m with Robyn on this one, I love my Starbucks with soy milk as well and because I use a registered Starbucks card, all my soy, vanilla or pump of any kind is free. I’ve had McDonald’s coffee before and from memory, it had a burnt taste no?

I think I prefer Starbucks because they have soy milk available also. Although, I would prefer Peet’s, Seattle’s Best, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Espresso Royalle (midwest chain), and Biggby’s (midwest chain) to Starbucks.

I’m curious how the espresso drinks compare. People say that Starbucks focuses the most on their lattes because that is what most people order there. That is, Starbucks does not put much effort into their brewed coffee.
