With regards to the coffee to try, if you're ever in Australia, Burger King is technically a different company here (Hungry Jacks), and has (I suspect) different coffee to match. It might be interesting to see how Burger King coffee matches up to the Hungry Jacks coffee.
@@sundelscorestore It was a joke because none of the Taco Bell's had coffee, but I have heard in some cultures people will drink hot colas in the winter time! :)
There is a coffee place near me that is really good. It is kinda similar to Starbucks. I guess it also helps that I live near the town that it started in.
@@CarcassGrater Stumptown is great, I’ve bought beans from them before, but there’s no chain close to me. Pete’s has a chain close to me though which is pretty cool
I used to work at an IHOP. I would never ever go near the coffee from my location. The machines are rarely cleaned properly. I tried my damnedest to clean them when I was there but everytime I came back they were nasty again. There was bugs in the bottom one time. I quit there because it was just crazy understaffed at night and the pay was awful.

My girlfriend worked at jack in the box in the past and she had told me that the creamer used on their iced coffee is from their milkshake instant pack.
That makes sense lol before I went dairy free, I was addicted to jack in the box iced coffee because I thought it tasted like melted ice cream. Now I know!
I worked at jack in the box and we used just regular half and half.....the milkshake mix comes in a very large bad that you dump in to the milkshake machine
I tried the coffee at Burger King because of this video. It's exactly like you said: soft, dark chocolate, low acidity and bitterness, a little weak. Overall an enjoyable cup of coffee!
I went to Carl’s Jr. to try their new breakfast thing a while back and tried their coffee because I need to caffinate before I get a headache. I was so surprised that it was absolutely delicious. Fruity and sweet and down right surprising. Not far off from some specialty coffee I’ve had from random coffee shops I’ve stopped by
Good morning, Morgan! I've recently been watching your channel more and more as I progress into the realm of adulthood and stressful employment seeking. Coffee has been an amazing part of my life (odd that I'm saying that) for a surplus of reasons, and it's great to see your content when I wake up to start the day refreshed. Hope you're doing well.
Fun fact: the problem of how to get to each fast food spot once in the fastest order is called the Traveling Salesman problem in computer science and it's a big open unsolved (and possibly *unsolvable*) question Edit: the question is "can you find the best solution faster than comparing every possible permutation (which will very quickly take far too long to be practical)?"
It's solvable, but it gets progressively more difficult for each additional stop, but it's solvable and tractable for for small numbers (also, depends on the distribution, if they're all on the highway, or on a circuit, you don't need to spin up a whole lot of computing power on AWS to solve it perfectly)
@@thermitebanana Sorry, I should have said "unknown if it's possible to find a solution faster than comparing every permutations, which takes forever very quickly" You right tho
There's always a solution to the problem, but calculating it is the trick. It turns out that ants gathering food have already found the answer and we literally just copied their solution bc it's so efficient. Not perfect, but faster than anything we've come up with so far.
No lie, I love McDonald’s coffee. It’s really surprising bc the one near me tastes absolutely DELICIOUS. Although I am a more bitter fan of coffee. Some gas stations have absolutely amazing coffee. The QT near me has some cappuccinos and regular brewed coffee that is probably the smoothest I’ve ever had with some really interesting roasts
Wow, McDonald’s coffee being undrinkably, dangerously scalding hot when it’s first served to you? Color me surprised. You’d think they’d have learned their lesson.
Come on, give McD's a break. The only thing there coffee is known for (both before and after the infamous lawsuit) is their coffee is hot. Take that away from them and then they won't have anything.
I’d slip on the floor in their store purposely so they’d stop. Or think about it. Because that’s actually just an overall rude and danger hazard. Like what if I peal my skin on their store floor and get an infection from the coffee burn? They’d have to work around that.
If anyone hasn't read the full details of the McDonald's case, I'd recommend listening to the You're Wrong About podcast episode on it. The woman was unfairly maligned, the coffee was beyond just "hot," her injuries were gruesome and she only wanted them to cover the medical bills, it was the judge who awarded the punitive damages (which was equivalent to 2 days of coffee sales for McDonald's) and that amount was later reduced and the woman didn't get nearly that amount anyway.
@@user-oj2xx1rk7d Yes, absolutely. It's ridiculous that the case is STILL used as an example of "frivolous lawsuits." There was never anything frivolous about it.
I’ve really enjoyed coffee from Panera, as well. It’s less “fast food” than the chains in this video but I think it’s close enough. I’ve never gotten their black coffee, but their espresso drinks seem solid
I work there… I like the dark roast. Iced coffee is also made of dark roast and pretty good especially with some cream and raw sugar crystals or simple syrup. Cold brew is good too
I get such old RUclips vibes haha. Love your style and as a coffee drinker, you and James Hoffman are opening my eyes to all things coffee. Thank you for sharing your passion with us, great video!
Ive been following you on tiktok for a while and finally decided to give ur youtube a try, i watch a lot of videos under the same category and your way to decide it is one of the best ive seen, the blind test sounds genius- Cant wait to see who wins.
thank you for doing this ! 🤗 my favorite from this list is 7-11. it tastes so yummy for the price point ! i have one down the street from me but i stopped going bc the coffee went from 89 cents for a large to being $2. 😑 hehe.
My favorite fast food coffee ... Starbucks (cold brew). They "graduated" a long time ago from mere "coffee shop" to "fast food" once their food menu became consistent and available in every state I've traveled to (and their spinach feta wraps are consistently delicious).
as a food industry employee/manager I can say it is hard to get a fresh cup of coffee at some places, and it is more than likely to be over the holding limit at some places. I've see some cases of 45+ min of hold time for drip coffee.
BK used to get their coffee from Douwe Egberts. Not sure if they still do. Most of those were bitter because they were probably robusto instead of arabica.
I heard about this about 7 months ago in a Clubhouse chat that (I thought it was McDonald's, but maybe it was Burger King) bought out all of Tim's old suppliers on the low and that is why Tim's is different. Lol not sure how valid this is.
Unsure if BK uses the Tim's coffee but it was not really a merge, BK bought Tim's many years ago. That's why there are sandwiches and stuff on the the Tim's menus now. Before it was only drinks and donuts.
@@withered_wings1817 Interesting. I wish we had a Tim's near us for my husband and me to try on my channel. The closest I have is ground coffee from the supermarket lol.
I used to work at jack in the box, the bitterness of the coffee is why we mix it with the ice cream mix (before it gets frozen) for the iced coffee. it’s actually super good with the ice cream mix 😂
You just made me extremely happy. The Walmart I shop at also has a Subway in it and I've never thought I could get a cup of walk around shopping coffee. I actually like Wendy's coffee pretty much.
Correction, Subway coffee is awful. It's weak and bitterish. On the other hand, remembering what you said I stopped and bought a cup of Burger King coffee nearby and it was delish. This means if I want walk around coffee I'm going to have to go to the BK drive through first.
From NJ: Wawa, 7-Eleven and Quick Check were my faves. QC had chocolate macadamia that was soooo good. Lived in Spokane WA: Dutch Bros was my fave. They donate to veterans by the thousands and help out vets also. When I lived in Charleston, McDonald's was my only go to. They didn't do coffee big back in 2000. Now that I'm in Pueblo CO [where food comes to die] I rely on my own concoctions. Love your stuff.
Even after getting into the small roaster, whole bean, single-origin land of coffee, I find that I still really love diner coffee. You should do some diner coffee tests! Can do a local one or two, then maybe a denny's and an ihop or something.
This is super interesting! In Canada (where I am anyway), McDonald’s and Tim Hortons compete for top fast food coffee, so it’s funny that you felt weird ordering just coffee there. My parents actually prefer McDs. the rumour is Tim Hortons changed their supplier years ago and McDonald’s took over, so now a lot of ppl prefer mcds (could be completely false though 😂)
It’s actually pretty accurate. Hahaha. I’m usually a happy guy even if the only option is a Latte at McDonalds. Not as great as a local coffee shop, but it hits the spot when it’s the only option. I’m always underwhelmed by Tim’s coffee now.
FINALLY! finding someone who appreciates the 7-11 Breakfast Blend as much as I do and bringing awareness to it! I'm ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS down for a cup of that 'Joe!
After this adventure it feels like you should be emailing Taco Bell corporate and demanding an explanation. Lack of coffee when their window ads still advertise it is inexcusable lol.
I can promise Morgan isn't missing much. It is vile. I just found her channel and mentioned my experience with it. So disappointing and disgusting, it was like what you would imagine the concept of fast food coffee would be. Have you tried it? Lol if you haven't...don't hahaha
I always found the 7-Eleven Brazilian Bold to be pretty well-rounded smooth cup of coffee. Always disliked McD Cafe. Nice to here a professional validate my palate ☺️
Keep making these, I was gonna buy an espresso machine to start making a lot of diff coffees, but turns out Imma be a dad, so I have to live vicariously through your channel (Jk, I already own a mokka pot, french press and a drip machine, but I really wanted an espresso machine, because I love them)
Racetrack (in FL) has a variety of types of coffee that the beans get ground and brewed as you push a button to order. They are very good! (For gas station/convenience store coffee.) I was in outside sales and have tried ALL coffe places on the road.
I think they’re even. At various times you gave Burger King ten points, McDonalds a gold star, and Burgerville a thumbs up. And I don’t really know how to compare those units. But check if there's a conversion chart somewhere in the back.
Just found your channel. I love, love, love coffee 😃!! I am originally from Guatemala and our coffee is considered "weak." However, some Guatemalan coffee that I've gotten here in the US is strong and too bitter for my taste. Not sure if you ever would like to try it, but the Guatemalan coffee from Boca Java is the best, but in the coffee maker, you have to do 8 oz of water per tablespoon to get the flavor just right. My other favorite one it's the Detroit bold Woodward Ave. Same ratio 8 oz/1 tablespoon.
I always found the McDonald's coffee a bit bitter but it was always my choice when working late, it's fast, strong enough to keep you awake and a bit of sugar makes it taste better.
I think this is an experiment worth repeating to see if you get consistent results. It's not just the coffee they use, but how fresh the pot is, the water they use, the condition of the brewer, and how careful the staff is making the batch. I have found that same drive-up window that gave me a decent cup on Tuesday gave me lousy coffee on Thursday.
>_> I'd be interested to see you do gas station coffee. We have a Circle K nearby and it has AMAZING hazelnut coffee and a Texas blend that I enjoy getting.
RaceTrac has some really good coffee we try to get when we're on shift, and there's plenty of discounts for it or if you buy one of their cups you get coupons for it too. The cup sucks compared to my metal Contigo one but the coffee is fantastic
I think the problem here is that quality is going to vary a LOT based on how busy they are, which impacts how often they make new coffee and how long the old coffee sits around. I drink a lot of Tim Hortons, and they have a fairly exhaustive set of processes for ensuring fresh coffee, and even there I'll see a wide range of quality depending on how well the staff is keeping up.
In Athens, GA there is a local coffee shop known as Jittery Joes. The coffee is incredible and most restaurants here carry their coffee. You should order a can online and do like a "Finding The Best Local Coffee" review!
I saw a 7-11 in Dallas that served drip coffee from whole bean. The beans were pretty dark and oily, as one would expect. There was no roasted on date, so I don't expect they're very fresh. But it's certainly progress to grind right before brewing!
I get a large McD's coffee at the drivethru near my house on my way to work and by the time I finish my 20 to 30 minute commute it is the ideal temperature and very drinkable. 7-11 is my favorite cheap coffee though I wouldn't exactly call it fast food. The big advantage there is that they have a lot of different varieties and since its self-service, you can mix and match.
most fastfood chains use the same roaster and usually the same beans, but it's cool to see how they brew it to make it taste differently. I used to work at the factory that would roast the beans and take home their iced coffee mix that already has creamer in it. nothing is better than a fresh roasted coffee 😋
If you ever come to Canada, try McCafé here. The Arabica they use here is the same one Tim Horton's USED to use, before they went with a different supplier.
I've done this irl too and let me suggest the some places I actually think are decent for a part 2. In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A are both pretty good for fast food coffee and Farmer Boys can also be decent.
also, I think I've said this in another video comment, but is that Gabor Szabo in the background of your video? I swear it's from the Dreams album of Gabor, but I'm not 100% certain
as someone also from the pacific northwest, i predicted burgerville would win right off the bat. they may not have had coffee, but i do assume their lemonade was the overall winner of the drinks in this video.
Keep checking in on 7-Eleven, a fellow Texas coffee friend has been working with them to make their coffee program even better. Excited to try it soon. Also, congrats on your recent win, Barista Champion, so happy for you!!
Was desperate for coffee one morning and stopped by McDonald's....it was one of the only times I actually threw away coffee without drinking it. Glad to see I wasn't alone.
I just learned another vital fact about Morgan! She has an Ikea Poäng chair and Svalsta table. Now I know if I should ever be invited to her home, there will be a comfortable place to sit while sipping coffee.
Hmm... interesting. I almost always add cream to coffee, and I didn't realize it could bring out bitterness. I'm curious, then, if you happen to read this, Morgan. What do you think of Starbucks? I've never had anything from there that wasn't just overwhelmingly, inedibly bitter to my palate. Even their super-sweet Frappuccinos and the like, while very sweet, are simultaneously unbearably bitter. Their lightest roasts to me taste like the darkest roasts at something like a Tim Horton's or Caribou, and I often say that everything at Starbucks tastes like someone emptied an old stale ashtray into it before brewing. Could this be because of the cream? Is Starbucks coffee just not cream-friendly? Or is my palate just _that different_ from most people's? Because to me, Starbucks' popularity is an absolute mystery to me. I'd honestly rather drink some old, burnt coffee at a car repair shop that's been sitting on the hot plate for six hours than anything from Starbucks. xD And I'd _much_ rather something like just a Folgers instant.
Very interesting review and it goes to show you how different everyone's tastes are. A lot of different reviews I've seen have all put Mcdonalds coffee as up towards the top in the fast food game. Personally I find it pretty smooth and very inoffensive. Easy to drink.
Exactly this. I wouldn't be surprised if she got a cup from a pot that had been sitting on the burner for way too long. I would never describe McD's coffee as bitter, it's generally smooth and almost creamy.
Thank you for doing these comparison review videos. It saves us time and effort and money to try them ourselves before deciding which one we will like. I have this nagging question though: how about the different drip bag codes that have come out, they're pretty convenient and sure looks like pour overs, but among the ones available, which one is the best tasting coffee? Hope you'll be able to do a video also on this.
There's a gas station in South Carolina called QT and they have really good coffee. They have tons of flavored options and a variety of different black coffees.
A&W coffee is hands down the best fast food coffee I have tasted here in Canada. Rich, smooth, and flavourful. Other plus is it being organic and fair trade.
I recall Good Mythical Morning's video about Coffee Chain taste testing and surprisingly it was also Burger King and 7/11, same as yours so guess they're pretty good :D I haven't found my cozy coffee place yet, still testing but hopefully i find one :) thanks for the vid !
aside from starbucks, there's south-eastern chain called jack's that i've had iced coffee from, on a few occasions. it's a longshot, but if you're in the area, it may be worth a try!
I spent a summer obsessed with 7 eleven coffee & noticed that i liked it WAY better when it was fresh & hadn't been sitting around on a hot plate all day
Since I know you will be in the area eventually, one of my favorite coffees actually comes from a grocery store back home. The name of the grocery store is "Automercado" and the name of the coffee machine is "Britt". It's in Costa Rica :)
Dang, love the video, I was hoping to maybe find out what coffee I may have been sleeping on, but the one that I already liked was the runner up, and first place really isn't around where I live.
i use to drink McD coffee every day for like 5 years. It was cheap, and started the morning with it before going to work. They must have changed their supplier or changed how they wanted their profile to be a few years back. Maybe it was due to covid? That was about the time it changed. Because it is not very good anymore. It is now very much like how you have described. In the past, the McD coffee use to taste much like how the BK coffee is now. Which is why I enjoyed it. (not to mention it was a dollar for a medium cup of it) Thank you for the video
You dismissed my go to fast food coffee - medium McDonald's with two cream! But that's also the most convenient for me in Ottawa, Ontario, 🇨🇦. Never thought of Burger King for coffee, not the most convenient here either but they're also in bed with Tim Horton's so I suspect that is the coffee you were tasting!
I worked at subway for 10 years. At least in Indiana we got rid of the in house ground coffee like 6 years or so. We had green mountain k cups we brewed when someone ordered coffee at my franchise anyways.

Correction, Subway coffee is awful. It's weak and bitterish. On the other hand, remembering what you said I stopped and bought a cup of Burger King coffee nearby and it was delish. This means if I want walk around coffee I'm going to have to go to the BK drive through first.
Love this! I now need recs on grocery store beans because as much as I love local roasteries I can't afford it every week.
From NJ: Wawa, 7-Eleven and Quick Check were my faves. QC had chocolate macadamia that was soooo good. Lived in Spokane WA: Dutch Bros was my fave. They donate to veterans by the thousands and help out vets also. When I lived in Charleston, McDonald's was my only go to. They didn't do coffee big back in 2000. Now that I'm in Pueblo CO [where food comes to die] I rely on my own concoctions. Love your stuff.
So no one's gonna mention how Morgan is an absolute BOSS for watching Jujutsu Kaisen?
Even after getting into the small roaster, whole bean, single-origin land of coffee, I find that I still really love diner coffee. You should do some diner coffee tests! Can do a local one or two, then maybe a denny's and an ihop or something.
Try the different coffees from truck stop gas stations like Loves.
loves has the best coffee
Is it better than Buc-ees?
Pilot
Kum and Go has an automated grinder that weighs, grinds and brews coffee with the push of a button.
Fresh ground every time.
I love how detailed you are with the taste testing, you had everything planned out!!
This is super interesting! In Canada (where I am anyway), McDonald’s and Tim Hortons compete for top fast food coffee, so it’s funny that you felt weird ordering just coffee there. My parents actually prefer McDs. the rumour is Tim Hortons changed their supplier years ago and McDonald’s took over, so now a lot of ppl prefer mcds (could be completely false though 😂)
It’s actually pretty accurate. Hahaha. I’m usually a happy guy even if the only option is a Latte at McDonalds. Not as great as a local coffee shop, but it hits the spot when it’s the only option. I’m always underwhelmed by Tim’s coffee now.
I found you through tiktok and love your content, I'm happy to see you're doing so well on youtube too!
FINALLY! finding someone who appreciates the 7-11 Breakfast Blend as much as I do and bringing awareness to it! I'm ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS down for a cup of that 'Joe!
7-11 dark roast for me! 110%
You should do a Best K-cup coffee pod ranking pleaseeee!!!
After this adventure it feels like you should be emailing Taco Bell corporate and demanding an explanation. Lack of coffee when their window ads still advertise it is inexcusable lol.
I can promise Morgan isn't missing much. It is vile. I just found her channel and mentioned my experience with it. So disappointing and disgusting, it was like what you would imagine the concept of fast food coffee would be. Have you tried it? Lol if you haven't...don't hahaha
I always found the 7-Eleven Brazilian Bold to be pretty well-rounded smooth cup of coffee.
Always disliked McD Cafe. Nice to here a professional validate my palate ☺️
Keep making these, I was gonna buy an espresso machine to start making a lot of diff coffees, but turns out Imma be a dad, so I have to live vicariously through your channel (Jk, I already own a mokka pot, french press and a drip machine, but I really wanted an espresso machine, because I love them)
Racetrack (in FL) has a variety of types of coffee that the beans get ground and brewed as you push a button to order. They are very good! (For gas station/convenience store coffee.) I was in outside sales and have tried ALL coffe places on the road.
Snobby coffee connoisseur: San pellegrino sparkling water after each sip and spits out
Morgan: Lemonaid please!
I deeply appreciate the Jujitsu Kaisen reference haha!!!
You should try triangle challenges for your final tests
I think they’re even. At various times you gave Burger King ten points, McDonalds a gold star, and Burgerville a thumbs up. And I don’t really know how to compare those units. But check if there's a conversion chart somewhere in the back.
Just found your channel. I love, love, love coffee 😃!! I am originally from Guatemala and our coffee is considered "weak." However, some Guatemalan coffee that I've gotten here in the US is strong and too bitter for my taste. Not sure if you ever would like to try it, but the Guatemalan coffee from Boca Java is the best, but in the coffee maker, you have to do 8 oz of water per tablespoon to get the flavor just right. My other favorite one it's the Detroit bold Woodward Ave. Same ratio 8 oz/1 tablespoon.
I always found the McDonald's coffee a bit bitter but it was always my choice when working late, it's fast, strong enough to keep you awake and a bit of sugar makes it taste better.
Oh, and considering Oregon in the triple digits, an iced coffee episode might be good to do soon!
Talking about burgerville and the rainy season in the first two minutes flashed me back to living in the PNW SO HARD, SO FAST
I think this is an experiment worth repeating to see if you get consistent results. It's not just the coffee they use, but how fresh the pot is, the water they use, the condition of the brewer, and how careful the staff is making the batch. I have found that same drive-up window that gave me a decent cup on Tuesday gave me lousy coffee on Thursday.
I can't wait for the results.
Thank you for the great videos.
>_> I'd be interested to see you do gas station coffee. We have a Circle K nearby and it has AMAZING hazelnut coffee and a Texas blend that I enjoy getting.
RaceTrac has some really good coffee we try to get when we're on shift, and there's plenty of discounts for it or if you buy one of their cups you get coupons for it too. The cup sucks compared to my metal Contigo one but the coffee is fantastic
Same!! I was hoping to see a battle between Wawa and Sheetz coffee here (though idk if those exist anywhere near Morgan!)
I think the problem here is that quality is going to vary a LOT based on how busy they are, which impacts how often they make new coffee and how long the old coffee sits around. I drink a lot of Tim Hortons, and they have a fairly exhaustive set of processes for ensuring fresh coffee, and even there I'll see a wide range of quality depending on how well the staff is keeping up.
@@nathanesor6041 It’s been years since I’ve been to a RaceTrac, I’ll have to visit one soon and try out the coffee.

these videos are so relaxing i love them to calm down
In Athens, GA there is a local coffee shop known as Jittery Joes. The coffee is incredible and most restaurants here carry their coffee. You should order a can online and do like a "Finding The Best Local Coffee" review!
Great vid. It would definitely be interesting to see you reviewing / rating a bunch of grocery store coffee brands to see which is better.
I saw a 7-11 in Dallas that served drip coffee from whole bean. The beans were pretty dark and oily, as one would expect. There was no roasted on date, so I don't expect they're very fresh. But it's certainly progress to grind right before brewing!
I get a large McD's coffee at the drivethru near my house on my way to work and by the time I finish my 20 to 30 minute commute it is the ideal temperature and very drinkable. 7-11 is my favorite cheap coffee though I wouldn't exactly call it fast food. The big advantage there is that they have a lot of different varieties and since its self-service, you can mix and match.
most fastfood chains use the same roaster and usually the same beans, but it's cool to see how they brew it to make it taste differently. I used to work at the factory that would roast the beans and take home their iced coffee mix that already has creamer in it. nothing is better than a fresh roasted coffee 😋
If you ever come to Canada, try McCafé here. The Arabica they use here is the same one Tim Horton's USED to use, before they went with a different supplier.
I've done this irl too and let me suggest the some places I actually think are decent for a part 2. In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A are both pretty good for fast food coffee and Farmer Boys can also be decent.
Try the 3:16 coffee roasters, they make my favorite espresso, located in Imperial, California…
of those I like BKs as well, for the same reasons ya said... I drink it black so something that's smooth is nice.
I don't like coffee but i love these videos! I think because of how enthusiastic Morgan is
Your hair is literally always perfect.

Ngl, vessi is the only sponsorship that has ever actually tempted me. They look more waterproof than my waterproof hiking boots 😍
Ok, I just found your channel and I’m loving your personality 😊❤️❤️I already had subscribed to you, I need to put the notifications on !:)
I used to work at a Soooobway, and to be honest, we just used a Keurig machine and some Folgers k-cubs for our coffee.
also, I think I've said this in another video comment, but is that Gabor Szabo in the background of your video? I swear it's from the Dreams album of Gabor, but I'm not 100% certain
as someone also from the pacific northwest, i predicted burgerville would win right off the bat. they may not have had coffee, but i do assume their lemonade was the overall winner of the drinks in this video.
Keep checking in on 7-Eleven, a fellow Texas coffee friend has been working with them to make their coffee program even better. Excited to try it soon. Also, congrats on your recent win, Barista Champion, so happy for you!!
Was desperate for coffee one morning and stopped by McDonald's....it was one of the only times I actually threw away coffee without drinking it. Glad to see I wasn't alone.
Imo, McDonald's is by far the best fast-food coffee. Only beat by Dunkin', or the blonde roast from Starbucks
I just learned another vital fact about Morgan! She has an Ikea Poäng chair and Svalsta table. Now I know if I should ever be invited to her home, there will be a comfortable place to sit while sipping coffee.
Hmm... interesting. I almost always add cream to coffee, and I didn't realize it could bring out bitterness.
I'm curious, then, if you happen to read this, Morgan.
What do you think of Starbucks? I've never had anything from there that wasn't just overwhelmingly, inedibly bitter to my palate. Even their super-sweet Frappuccinos and the like, while very sweet, are simultaneously unbearably bitter. Their lightest roasts to me taste like the darkest roasts at something like a Tim Horton's or Caribou, and I often say that everything at Starbucks tastes like someone emptied an old stale ashtray into it before brewing.
Could this be because of the cream? Is Starbucks coffee just not cream-friendly? Or is my palate just _that different_ from most people's? Because to me, Starbucks' popularity is an absolute mystery to me. I'd honestly rather drink some old, burnt coffee at a car repair shop that's been sitting on the hot plate for six hours than anything from Starbucks. xD And I'd _much_ rather something like just a Folgers instant.
Very interesting review and it goes to show you how different everyone's tastes are. A lot of different reviews I've seen have all put Mcdonalds coffee as up towards the top in the fast food game. Personally I find it pretty smooth and very inoffensive. Easy to drink.
Exactly this. I wouldn't be surprised if she got a cup from a pot that had been sitting on the burner for way too long.
I would never describe McD's coffee as bitter, it's generally smooth and almost creamy.
to be honest the only fast food coffee i get is a caramel frappe from burger king. So good 🥰
Thank you for doing these comparison review videos. It saves us time and effort and money to try them ourselves before deciding which one we will like. I have this nagging question though: how about the different drip bag codes that have come out, they're pretty convenient and sure looks like pour overs, but among the ones available, which one is the best tasting coffee? Hope you'll be able to do a video also on this.
There's a gas station in South Carolina called QT and they have really good coffee. They have tons of flavored options and a variety of different black coffees.
A&W coffee is hands down the best fast food coffee I have tasted here in Canada. Rich, smooth, and flavourful. Other plus is it being organic and fair trade.
I recall Good Mythical Morning's video about Coffee Chain taste testing and surprisingly it was also Burger King and 7/11, same as yours so guess they're pretty good :D
I haven't found my cozy coffee place yet, still testing but hopefully i find one :) thanks for the vid !
i ordered a cropped hoodie from your merch line and i cant fricken wait for it to arrive :))))

@@wjj. uhh what
I used to work for BK and I just knew they were going to win, I used to drink 4-5 cups of that coffee every day it was so good. We got free drinks.
I like how you bought a lemonade out of fear of judgement. The flight or lemonade response
aside from starbucks, there's south-eastern chain called jack's that i've had iced coffee from, on a few occasions. it's a longshot, but if you're in the area, it may be worth a try!
also, thanks for getting backyardigans stuck in my head again lol "UG"
I spent a summer obsessed with 7 eleven coffee & noticed that i liked it WAY better when it was fresh & hadn't been sitting around on a hot plate all day
Sounds like an awesome trip! Good deal too!
Dang, I’m off to Scotland 🏴 for 3 weeks! No great coffees there 😆 No creamer either!
Since I know you will be in the area eventually, one of my favorite coffees actually comes from a grocery store back home. The name of the grocery store is "Automercado" and the name of the coffee machine is "Britt". It's in Costa Rica :)
Dang, love the video, I was hoping to maybe find out what coffee I may have been sleeping on, but the one that I already liked was the runner up, and first place really isn't around where I live.
Iced Latte from Japan’s 7-11 is surprisingly nice
When I worked at BK we would make a small vanilla ice cream or chocolate shake and mix coffee in it. It was so good.
I really agree with you! I enjoy BK coffee, same.
i use to drink McD coffee every day for like 5 years. It was cheap, and started the morning with it before going to work. They must have changed their supplier or changed how they wanted their profile to be a few years back. Maybe it was due to covid? That was about the time it changed. Because it is not very good anymore. It is now very much like how you have described.
In the past, the McD coffee use to taste much like how the BK coffee is now. Which is why I enjoyed it. (not to mention it was a dollar for a medium cup of it)
Thank you for the video
You dismissed my go to fast food coffee - medium McDonald's with two cream! But that's also the most convenient for me in Ottawa, Ontario, 🇨🇦. Never thought of Burger King for coffee, not the most convenient here either but they're also in bed with Tim Horton's so I suspect that is the coffee you were tasting!
I worked at subway for 10 years. At least in Indiana we got rid of the in house ground coffee like 6 years or so. We had green mountain k cups we brewed when someone ordered coffee at my franchise anyways.
