    When I was becoming a coffee fan/snob a decade ago, I’d occasionally get gifted bags of Starbucks beans. Or worse, grounds. Ugh.

    I eventually end up using it but it’s never good. Even my wife agrees now, although she still drinks McDonald’s iced coffee without sugar regularly.

      I used to work at McDonald’s nearly 20 years ago and I would huff the grounds every time I filled the coffee machine. I’m not a coffee snob so feel free to disregard my opinion but that stuff ain’t bad, especially iced and lightly sweetened.

        That’s what I was implying, (poorly) that their coffee isn’t half bad, and preferable over Starbucks to me.

        But then when I make myself coffee it’s four to six shots of espresso with ice and half and half.
