The reasons I don't drink Starbucks in the morning:
- Their espresso coffees are too expensive for daily drinks.
- I like 1 cream and 1 sugar in my coffee. Their brewed coffee is a crapshoot since they don't have one of those sureshot machines or whatever they're called which means you always get something different. This infuriates me beyond belief.
- Their food is garbage and 90% of the time I get a breakfast sandwhich from them, it's cold. I can name 4 or 5 food choices at Tims that I prefer over anything at Starbucks.
The reasons I don't drink McDonalds:
- Their breakfast is worse than Tims IMO. Again, I can name a handful of items I prefer over anything on McDicks breakfast menu.
- They don't have an XL. Honestly, I like having what almost feels like a bottomless supply of coffee in the morning. It's awesome. It's how I convince myself I only drink "one" cup a day
But I will 100% admit that McDonalds coffee is much better. Not even close. If I could stomach a Sausage Egg McMuffin then I would gladly make the switch.
As for other chains? Haven't tried any other breakfast besides A&W which I'm not a fan of either. If they don't have a drive through then they're automatically eliminated from contention for my morning commute business.
