I worked at Starbucks – the cheap coffees which taste just as good (& those that don’t) including McDonald’s & Wendy’s

COFFEE snobs know their way around an upscale cafe.

But the real pros know how to spot a good cup even at the most obscure of places.


A former Starbucks barista and self-proclaimed “coffee connoisseur” said he tried the coffee from four different fast-food chains to discover which offered the best cup.

He ventured out to McDonalds, Wendy’s, Burger King, and Sonic and ranked the coffee based on five categories: sweetness/bitterness, body, acidity, flavors, and finish.

SONIC

The worst cup of coffee came from Sonic, and it’s the only one he said he wouldn’t order again.

You should probably skip this order, he said, “unless you’re a die-hard Keurig fan who like the familiarity of Green Mountain Coffee.”

It was poorly extracted and slightly bitter.

BURGER KING

As for Burger King, he said the coffee was “solidly mediocre.”

He wished it were a little hotter, but said he enjoyed the sweet, chocolatey and molasses flavor.

Although he would order it again if it were the only option, it was more acidic than he’d like.

WENDY’S

The coffee addict was pleasantly surprised by his Wendy’s dose.

Served nice and hot, its bitterness worked to its advantage and made it very easy to drink.

The low acidity levels were just what he was looking for.

MCDONALD’S

Perhaps it comes as no surprise that the chain with the best french fries also had the best coffee.
