People who love coffee brew it themselves. They don’t need to endure long lines and wait for some poorly treated minimum-wage employees to burn it for them.
I suspect coffee preferences, whether someone makes it for them or not, might be down to whether their place of work is conducive for even making coffee. Perhaps there are socioeconomic lines as well that divide people.
Do most people feel the need to have their coffee made for them at a fast-food establishment?
I don’t drink coffee myself but last I heard, Tim’s had their own brand of coffee so hypothetically if somebody likes it, they can still brew it at home.
I had a great place to get roasted-on-premises coffee, but the guy who ran it got me interested in the process, ran a course in how to do it, and then sold the equipment to do it. I’m a nerd. Of course I nerded out and started doing it myself!
I work on the road/various jobsites throughout the day. My first coffee is almost always one I make at home. On a long shift or a cold day, I sometimes want a second coffee, and unfortunately Tim’s often the only option around.
I’m guessing their definition of “favourite” is judged by sales, or maybe litres sold? I don’t think anyone prefers Timmies, at least not for a decade or so.
It might have been at one point, but that was before it was bought out by a large corporation, and a bunch of “efficiencies” were implemented which changed suppliers and generally reduced the quality of the coffee and food.
Yup. But it still has brand recognition and most people order something like a triple triple nowadays so it’s little more than liquid coffee crisp. At that point, the quality of the coffee hardly matters, and Tim Horton’s is way cheaper than Starbucks.
It’s similar, but not the same. You’re correct about the roasting company, though: Mother Parker’s. Drive past them every day on the way to work; smells great in the area.
I have heard that Tim Hortons changed its supplier and their old one is now the supplier for McDonalds coffee. I have no idea if this is true, but I’ll spread it on the internet anyway.

To clarify, people who love coffee buy fresh roasted beans and grind it themselves for brewing for the best possible flavor.
Buying a kilo of any pre-ground coffee and slapping it into a drip machine is not something people who love coffee would typically do.
I didn’t buy fresh roasted beans. I roasted my own.
Of course I’m a lunatic.
I’ve done that, in an apartment with a Behmor. Great coffee, but man what a hassle.
Now I have a subscription to a local place and the coffee’s always roasted within 3 days of delivery.

I’m still happy when someone brings Timbits to something but that’s about it.
Not at all, not before they got bought out by Americans and sure as hell not after. We went to Tims for their donuts.
No, McDonald’s is our favourite coffee
It’s a Brazilian chain restaurant though so it might be their favourite
Not anymore
If it was, people wouldn’t be taking it with double cream, double sugar, to mask the taste.
Good point!
I don’t know, but does America REALLY run on Dunkin?
Maybe Massachusetts at most.

I don’t think there is a regulatory entity policing this issue.
And every real Canadian knows the best coffee in the country comes from small town Esso’s.
7/11 or bust. Seriously though, 7/11s coffee has the best gas station coffee in Canada and it’s not even close.

It’s true. And I’m Canada’s most honest guy
hell no
It’s passable but at the bottom. It thrives on people who have been going there every day for decades since it was still good.
Used to be good, now it’s brown sludge. McDonald’s is better
It probably is by market share the nation’s “favorite” though.
That’s because McDonalds bought the coffee roasting company that was formerly used by Tim’s. New McDs coffee is literally original Tim’s coffee.
Tim’s new coffee is awful and hardly worth drinking. Same as their now-reheated-from-frozen garbage donuts.

Tim’s is terrible.

McDonald’s coffee probably now. Which seems ridiculous, but, yeah.

I think they did for a while and then changed to someone else shitty again.
