Not much on consumer metrics are you? http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/494158p-416080c.html There's nothing average about the joe they serve up at McDonald's. The Golden Arches beat out java giants Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts along with Burger King in a coffee taste test run by Consumer Reports magazine. The mag proclaimed McDonald's Premium Roast Coffee had "no flaws" - and was easiest on the wallet as well. "Try McDonald's, which was cheapest and best," Consumer Reports said in its March issue. "Or make your own coffee." Out of the four restaurants tested, McDonald's cost the least, just $1.35. It "was decent and moderately strong," the mag said. "Although it lacked the top notes needed to make it rise and shine." Starbucks might have the most vocal fan club among the caffeine crowd, but its brew was deemed decidedly ordinary. "Strong, but burnt and bitter enough to make your eyes water instead of open," the report said. Now you have been educated, you may thank me at your leisure.
