Joe is pretty tasty. And if you catch McDonalds on a good day, their’s is too. lol… I have to update my bad comments on what I think of Maxwell House. They finally switched from Robusto beans to Arabica beans. It isn’t half bad now.

I’m a big fan of the BK coffee. I didn’t think fast food coffee would be this good, but it is.

Burger King coffee is made from a liquid concentrate supplied by Sara Lee / Douwe Egberts . They have a special brewer for the liquid/(oil)? concentrate.

Well, we must really have a different sense of taste … or maybe I am jaded by drinking a 10% Kona mix everyday.

After I read the comments I was excited to stop by McDs yesterday to try the coffee – what a disappointment. The coffee McDonald’s sells here on Kauai is listed as Kona Coffee. I asked if that is a Hawaii McDonald’s thing or if it is the same coffee they sell nationwide. The counter person said it is the same Kona coffee nationwide.

Hrrumph. I’ll take BK Joe over the McD brew any day.

It would be interesting if a few people would confirm that McD is selling Kona Coffee in your mainland locations. Perhaps it is just a local nod to Hawaii products.

I read where Buger King wants to see their coffee beans in grocery stores. I look forward to buying some but suspect it will be awaile. BTW, I read that BK Joe is made with arabica beans and so I trekked off in search of some coffee made from those. I discovered at COSTCO and my local grocery store that those beans must not be all that unique since apparently most (or all?) the beans grown in Hawaii are arabica.

Anyone have a source for some of those BK beans?

Yep… I did manage to find one within reach on our trip. It was a treat for me too!

Well, yeah, but there’s also a good chance you’ll find a Starbucks around since they are spreading by the second to a corner near you!

And you just can’t help but love Starbucks. I know I do!

I see your Spam problem’s gone! (at least I don’t see any evidence of it) I’m very glad!

Take care and thanks for the tips.

ahh.. thanks so much for the compliments! I visited your site and really enjoyed myself. I added you to my off-site coffee links. Nice job on the design. I love it!

For the record…. McDonalds coffee is a have to sort of thing. Not a regular happening for me.

I’ll have to check into portable options. Honestly, I had not considered it but maybe I should.

Always amazes me the new coffee blogs I find, what a nice treat to find this today! While I do appreciate that McDonald’s is taking a renewed interest in the humble cup of coffee, I personally find it too little too late.

At least for the non-interstate travel, but when driving you really don’t have a lot of options, so in that regard, its nice to see that we at least have a few options that we can tolerate drinking.

I wonder what good portable boiling options are out there that could make the French Press a more viable option on the road…

You might check out Nio’s Anti-Spam image if you have not already. I had some problems with SK catching too much. Here is the Link – http://nio.infor96.com/archives/369

Very nice site BTW.
