I'm from the land of Starbucks. I don't particularly care for coffee, each day, but I do enjoy a fresh brewed cup.
After work on Friday, a group of teachers like to get coffee at McDonald's. The fastfood chain has a whole new line of caffeinated beverages (McCafe). Oddly enough, I have had the Mocha Frappe, and actually liked it. Of course it was good- McDonald's make all their food with pure XXXX. I recommend this line as a treat.
I have heard of Starbucks but I don't know if they are really popular in Australia. I think there might be one in the city but I am not too sure. I believe Gloria Jeans coffee is very popular
My husband likes the dark French roast. They do make decent "specialty" coffees. These beverages are so full of fat that you could make a meal substitute out of them.
Sorry to intrude gals (and Neely), but I had to chuckle at the instant coffee comments. I recalled Saturday Night Live with the late great Chris Farley and his "Coffee Crystals" skit:Quote:

I recall brands "Sanka" and "Brim" "fill it to the rim with Brim" yum yum.

McDonalds... I can not recall they have different types of coffees over here. :crazy: Probably, but as I automatically go for "ordinary, black coffee", I probably just miss it. I don't study the signs above the counter anymore :blush:. I go to McDonalds for coffee when I pass it on my way to the train station: it is cheap (main reason) and tastes good. :) Actually, it is the only reason why I ever go there :nod: :lol: Wait... in the summer I do get a McFlurry every now and then :D. Mmmmm.
That sketch is funny - of course that is how they make those commercials :angel: How about this:
Coffee flavoured Coffee
Watch out: some people might be offended by his choice of words (he sure knows how to curse). I think he has a good point though.
Haha, that's like me. I will also always have just a black coffee...
I actually can't stomach coffee and milk. It upsets my inner parts. Not sure why... And I so love a capuccino. :(
Never tried the coffee in McDonalds because it was neevr convenient...
In Canada we're more about Tim Hortons than Starbucks.
I'm having senseo-coffee for 3 days now and I would really like to have some "regular" coffee for a change :lol: I do like senseo, but nothing beats the ordinary "cup of coffee" :D
Cup of Coffee
See? It's a comfort :p
BTW, I've got a whole playlist on youtube with songs about coffee (or just with coffee mentioned in them) :) For some reason, I like to listen to one hour with coffee filled music sometimes :crazy:
McCafes are pretty hilarious, they decorate them like Starbucks, but then just next to them there's a bunch of screaming children scarfing down happy meals. They just can't pull off the atmosphere. I've heard from others that their coffee is good though, and cheaper than the chains known for coffee. Starbucks isn't really that common in Canada, as Jun says it's mostly Tim Hortons. Even so, they have mostly been out-competed by the Canadian Starbucks knock off, Second Cup.
there aren't any coffee chains here on the ice, we don't even have McDonald's anymore... but I did try Starbucks when I was in London and liked it. the closest thing to a chains here is the two biggest speciality coffee brewers and they have a few cafes but mainly just make coffee for stores, but they sure are good.
Only this summer I tried Americano and loved it, now my favorite is triple americano, oh that is the best!
Oh, what a country! I'll have to go and live there! Paradise :drool5:Quote:
