qft. Women can't be trusted. It's best not to run with them at all. gay sex is where it's at.

Hoping that consumers are fed up with asking Starbucks for “double-caramel skim half-caf macchiato” before they’ve even had their jolt of joe, Burger King, Dunkin’ Donuts, and McDonald’s have been boosting their coffee cachet.

McDonald’s Premium issues the slightly icky invitation to “wake up and smell your life” with a “richer, bolder” coffee; BK Joe suggests that you “wake up with the King”; Dunkin’ Donuts touts its usual coffee, but with more flavors and attitude. “My mouth can’t form these words,” customers in a recent ad sing when faced with the options in a fancy shop: Himan plu cento, for one.

We compared the rivals with Starbucks, all in basic black--no flavors, milk, or sugar--and you know what? McDonald’s beat the rest. Our trained tasters, who visited two locations from each company, spill the beans below (prices are an average of what we paid for the closest thing to a medium cup).

McDonald's, $1.35, was decent and moderately strong. Although it lacked the subtle top notes needed to make it rise and shine, it had no flaws.

Burger King, $1.40, looked like coffee but tasted more like hot water. It was a little sour, with an unusual hint of chocolate.

Dunkin' Donuts, $1.65, was weak, watery, and pricier than Starbucks. It was inoffensive, but it had no oomph. (If you brew with Dunkin’ beans at home, you can make it stronger.)

Starbucks, $1.55, was strong, but burnt and bitter enough to make your eyes water instead of open.

CR's take. Try McDonald’s, which was cheapest and best, or make your own coffee--just call it something special. The other three were all only OK, but for different reasons.

Bah, the experts WENT to the locations?? Bad form.

To get an unbiased test, it should be "double blind" -- neither the taster nor the person handing the tester the cup of coffee should know where the coffee came from.

[Asher]

Yeah, Zkrib, because the results clearly indicate the testers would be inherently biased towards McDonald's coffee excellence.

[Wiglaf]

Like you have credibility about research integrity. You cited Mojave as evidence of Vista bias. Douche.

[Asher]

Mojave was great for demonstrating the biases people had vs Vista.

I'll just settle this argument.

FACT: I was on a road trip yesterday with the brother and we stopped for coffee 3 times. EACH TIME WE CHOSE TO STOP AT A MCDONALDS OVER THE REQUISITE TIME HORTONS. WHY? BECAUSE IT WAS BETTER.

Why was it better? Because they use THERMAL CARAFES. Biggest difference. Most other places burn their coffee more by having them on the element for hours.

I hate coffee. I drank it through college and quit for no real reason after I graduated... Now I think it smells like my kids dirty diapers so I won't go near it. I drink diet Mt. Dew.

The McDonalds in Mojave is made of trains!


Edit: Actually, that's Barstow... but they're close
