McDonald's Pours A Darn Good Cup Of Coffee

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

McDonald's is known to have great Coca-Cola but I am a fan of their coffee as well. Just the regular coffee. Today I went in to my friendly, neighborhood McDonald's for Breakfast and ordered the #9 which is the 2 Sausage McMuffin Meal w/hashed browns and beverage. I got a large coffee. McDonald's coffee is always extra hot and extra fresh without a single hint of bitterness or any aftertaste. So delicious and soothing. Why don't other fast food joints make coffee this good?

Maybe McDonalds makes coffee carefully and others don't.

Here's how to make good coffee:




1. Throw the coffee maker away

2. Use quality coffee

3. Heat fresh water in a saucepan

4. Pour hot water through a porcelain strainer

Maybe a little 'circumstantial evidence'y, but..
Those who work morning shift at McDonalds are 'morning people'.
Those morning workers drink coffee, too. So they want a tasty, good cup for themselves.
And that is my theory on it.

But they're so busy futzing with the coffee machine during the morning that they dont triple check the mcFlurry machine, night crew doesnt feel like super-cleaning it, starting it up with the correct mix, because those things are notoriously finnicky, only to find out that the machine wont turn itself on. Because the weather is too hot, too humid, the mix is off, the machine's gremlin is mischievious today, someone sold an egg in china at wholesale price.. etc.

And thats why their shake machine never works, theory.

That's because the workers spit in it.

The enzymes in the saliva react with the alkaloids in the coffe, particularly with the polyphenols, which stimulates the chlorogenic acid which in turn acentuates the astringency and acidity of the coffee which produces a much more pronounced "Bitterness" in the roasted coffee beans.

Let me give it to you in Layman's Terms:
See, the reactive carbonyl group of the sugar within the saliva reacts with the nucleophilic amino group of the amino acid, and forms a complex mixture of poorly characterized molecules responsible for a range of odors and flavors. The type of the amino acid determines the resulting flavor. This reaction is the basis of the flavoring industry.

McDonalds coffee causes stomach upsets from my experience and those around me, they put something dodgy in to make it have more bubbles

Chick-fil-A's coffee is pretty good, but I don't patronize their establishment(s) very often because their political activism makes me want to puke.

What's your at-home coffee situation? Most of the canned coffee in the stores is fucking horrible, there's only one national chain that sells a decent roast but I expect it to be discontinued any time now, and when it is I don't know what I'm going to switch to, and all the, "high end" stuff I've bought at places like Java Jack's isn't much better.

Hey X, how you been man?
Yeah I'm glad you asked because I was actually thinking of posting a thread regarding coffee.

I have found that most store brand coffee has continuosly been going downhill.
Chock Full O Nuts is bad.
Maxwell House is not very good either.
I have found Folgers to be the best of the popular name brands, actually by far.
Particularly the Folgers Colombian and the House Blend if you can find it.
I sometimes buy the store brand Colombian and on occasion Eight O'Clock Coffee which was originally owned by A&P supermarkets.

What do you like?
P.S. Stay away from that mongo guy, he's bad news man.

Deregulation killed the Mexican coffee industry, there used to be an article floating around that detailed the demise of the Mexican coffee industry and explained why canned coffee in America all of a sudden (so it seemed) started to suck. You're old enough, I'm sure, to remember when Folger's was the gold standard for a cup of coffee, that was twenty years ago, or more, and over the years, the quality has steadily gotten worse. It's the deregulation of the industry in Mexico, for the most part that caused it. At any rate, if you want a cup of coffee that's pretty similar to what Folger's used to be back in the day, go to Wal*Mart and find the store brand Donut Shop, it's $6.38 for a 30oz can and it's as close to that old school Folger's that you're going to find.

I have one of those AS SEEN ON TV Ninja Coffee/Espresso Bars. Works good and easy to keep clean. I use Peet's Coffee French Roast, Land O' Lakes Half 'n' Half, and C & H Pure Cane Sugar then pour it into my 24 Oz Contigo Travel Mug.

 

[xfire]

Gotcha, brotha, it really ain't mattering if you add cream and or sugar. I drink mine strong and black, just like I like my wimmins.

I've never had black coffee nor been with a woman that color. People have told me one or both tend to be bitter.

 

[xfire]

Acquired taste, both. :coolthumb:

I concur with X.
May I present exhibit A:, the ex wife's face at any given moment:




I call it 'Aubrey Plaza levels of disdain for everyone'.

 

[Supafly]

Assari, (This happens rarely, but it happens) is onto something:

Coffee is best, if the fresh grinded coffee s being poured over with fresh boiling water by hand. Tip: Add a little bit of salt.

But you can make good coffee with machines, if you hit the right coffee dosage, and if the coffee is not roasted too harsh.

I drink my coffee with a splash of milk (No cream) and a little bit of sugar

 

[Torre82]

Sometimes horizons are meant to be viewed later. The next day, X.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coffee is just too unique to really quantify.

I mean.. to sexualize it, turn it into an art...

I take fiji water, slowly heat it to near-boiling, pour it slowly over a tea-egg filled with Gevalia morning blend and a tiny bit of earl grey sprinkled in.
I use either powdered sugar or none, as crystallized melts too slowly, too unevenly. I use a dash of lemon juice and a smidge of angostura bitters.
I slowly stir it for exactly 2 minutes, before I drop in 2 ice squares, and then stir until melted.
I inhale deeply and look out to the horizon, wondering what the day will hold. This is a good cup.


OR

*get woke up by my bunkie* d00d, the fuck are you doing? Chow isnt till 6.
Whatever, fuckit. Im up. You owe me.
Gimme two shots of that shit in the red bag, faggot.
Shit tastes like motor oil scraped off Vin Diesel's nog in pitch black.
Fuck yeah I'll take another shot, corporal.
THis must be dumbass question day.

Either of those bags of coffee and situations dont effect how much you need it, or how good it is IN SPITE of the rest of it.

Ya know, I just gotta liken it to jerking off. WHich is crude but relevant. You've done it thousands of times and no matter if its good or not, if youre crying over your ex, rushing one out before the day begins or whatever.. the situations are kinda the same.

Dont interupt my morning jerk.
This is a sweet, milky cup of jerk.
Look at those cups, jesus..

AHEM, and sometimes you pay some chick at McDonalds to do it for you. ZING

Thanks. I will do that and I will let you know.

Exhibit C:
But with a bit of introduction. You know when you start typing in your browser and the autocomplete suggestions fire up?
AHEM, so.. here's a few of mine:

AHEm, anyway..

*presses the E key*
Ebony-beauty.com
enterprise s1e21 ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Hmm... *hits B*
Eh, only board.freeones.com

If it was 10 years ago I'd recommend darkpanthera.com but their advertising/rotator script is absolute garbage. Ebonybeauty and inlove are great, if you have a hard-on for ATK-exotics types.
Have you seen their /pornhub channel? Lotta good solo stuff.

Now if only they put up more interviews and I could figure out which were the bitter/angry types.. they cant hide their disdain for long, man.

AHEM, but anyway. *closes those tabs*
Shit is like pringles, once you pop you cant stop.

Oh shit, I forgot what topic I was in.

When you find yourself wandering around the world and need to know which cuppa wont let you down!

BP, Marathon, Rickers... garbage assed brew.

At least one of my local places has something questionable but effective: "Energy Coffee"
I dunno what the recipe is, but they pour in some energy drink, windex + motor oil type shit in there, and it works magic. If you can stomach the berry-blue flavor.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

I drink a large black cup of it every weekday.....a buck for a little warm caffeine, is a fair deal in my book. I do like Starbucks, and The Arabica, but I'm grabbing a couple of mcmuffins, and I'm not stopping twice.

At home, I have a Kueregg my wife bought me, and I tend to load it with dark roast, I like Italian....but will use Colombian on occasion, and hit the strong brew button.

No cream, no sugar. I like my wimmins hot, strong, and just a little bitter.
