McDonalds to Compete With Starbucks

Here Starbucks is so expensive. And usually people who go there just want to show they have taste, in my opinion. They can order a cup of coffee and work on their laptops for a whole afternoon. I prefer to McDonald's because I can't waste my time like this way. Fast food is good for me. And I think McDonald's coffee is fine.

I think this is a great move for Mc Donalds to improve the taste of thier coffee...because i think they have one of the worst coffee... and starbucks one of the best... Mc Donalds store are located all around the world and their prices are quite affordable so it would be nice if great tasting coffee will be made available and affordable at the same time... i look forward to seeing this happen...

I usually don't go to either place. But, hey, I don't mind paying $4 for a cup of coffee to go with my $1 menu special buger.

I did use to like McDonalds coffee, but having to drink the coffee that is made at the McDonald's here sort of ruined it for me. Here they make it way to strong and even with large amounts of sugar and cream added to it, has a really bad bitter taste to it. Not sure if that is because they add to much grounds to it, or because it isn't as fresh as they say it is, but it is rather horrid. As long as the coffee isn't from my area I'll give it a try, but would prefer not to ruin my entire coffee by trying to get McDonald's coffee here again.

That is a good news. With McDonalds getting into that so called branded coffee market, we, the consumers, hope that the price of such coffee would go down and more would be able to enjoy it. I hope McDonalds would also provide free Wi-Fi access to its customers similar to what Starbucks does here. I f that happens, it would be really awesome!

Only if I have cream and sugar.. Sorry,I really don't care for McDonalds coffee, I usually drink it black, but if they start doing flavors like starbucks does, I just might find a new favorite..:)

McDonalds coffee is great i always have that when i was in philippines for breakfast.. its like i dont know,,,it yumm... and makes me wake up and feel great... so if its true that they will compete with starbucks it will be a great competation from then...so long mcdo...

i don't really drink coffee... i usually go for iced chocolate and i know that star bucks make a really good iced chocolate... but i don't really go to starbucks often as the price is quite expensive for me... so i agree with you that if mc donalds start to give a little bit competition to star bucks, then it will be a good thing and it will bring the price down... hopefully it will happen soon...

I have had McDonalds coffee. I do not see that they have anything special. I have never had Starbucks, so I cannot compare. I think that they all have to fight for the business, as people are just not able to afford to spend what they use to.

Funny you mention this as I just returned from McDonald's and have a cup of their coffee sitting right beside me. In my opinion, there is no contest comparing the coffee. Starbuck's is too strong therefore I don't drink it. Only had it once or twice and that was enough to last me a lifetime. There is a group of us who meet in the morning for our coffee clotch. Generally there are 7 of us, mostly men so I love it..lol. Many good laughs, jokes and a fun time. Only a couple of the guys still work so there's never a big hurry for the majority of us to leave. I started the entire group about 20 years ago and the group grew and continues to grow. This morning there were 10 of us. I think McDonald's will do well if they offer a specialty line of coffee.

I like McDonalds coffee. Unfortunately, ours has been closed for several months for remodeling. Remodeling, Heck, they tore the thing down, dug a big hole, tore up the road and have built a new one It was supposed to open before Christmas, but ice and snow prevented it from happening. I wonder if they are going to make the coffee shop upgrade there when it does open. Probably not, as we are such a small town, and we have our own downtown coffee shop and another specialty shop or two. I would try it at least once.

They also have cappicno or they did when I worked there. I use to like to geth the French Vanilla one. There coffee is great also.

I think in most of the times when two or more companies are fighting for a common thing, the prices are bound to come down. it is my idea.lets hope there will be price down as well as quality improvement also.

i dont drink coffee a lot and im not really a big fan of macdonalds but i think if they compete with starbucks they will do great because macdonalds r everywhere and makes it more convienient for customers to get a cup of coffee

I think it's a great idea myself. McDonalds does have very good coffee, in fact that's one of the things they do best - certainly better than make hamburgers...lol. I think you're right that it will bring prices down; I hope so anyway! Annie

I personlly do not drink coffee. My husband does though. I think it will be great if McDonalds does this new coffee venture. Starbucks is no where near where we live,but the arches are everywhere. Hopefully this will drive down prices. I'll be looking for this. Hope it happens soon.

McDonald's better watch out tho, wouldn't want them to get sued for serving hot coffee when it is ordered....

Wow, this sounds great! One less stop to make on the road. If they can make something up like a carmel machiato (I have no idea how to spell it and can barely say it) then I am in.
