Does MacDonalds actually use the same coffee throughout the country? I saw the Consumer Report article, too, but if they mentioned that, I missed reading it. I know for a very long time the Macs around here were serving Seattle's Best, but I certainly wasn't getting that countrywide when I drove Washington to Florida and back a couple of years ago. I haven't bought any coffee for a long time anywhere but one little drive through espresso place that uses Illy.
We used to have a coffee shop and used only Illy. We were in direct competition with a Starbucks about a block away. It seems people either love Starbucks or hate it. The people who preferred ours always complained about the burnt taste of the 'bucks stuff.
Now I want a really great mocha, but the closest shop serving Illy is 12 miles away, so getting one won't be happening.
