McCafe Breakfast Blend Coffee Review


[spoiler title=’Click here to read the transcript. ‘ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’]- Hey welcome to Coffee Coffee Coffee, your place for average Joe coffee reviews. Today’s coffee is da-da-da da-da

– So today, we’re reviewing McCafe breakfast blend, which is a light roast. It’s supposed to be rich and vibrant. Did you have something to add?

– No. Well, every McDonald’s you ever go to is rich and vibrant. Except for the dirty ones.

– So, yeah, breakfast blend. Rich and vibrant. 100% arabica beans. It doesn’t say the region it’s from. It just says the coffee growing regions of the world. So, mountainous places and what not. So, yeah.

– Same place their beef comes from.

– I don’t know, okay. So, interesting fact. It’s distributed by Kraft-Heinz Food Company, which yeah, I figured McDonald’s… Does Kraft own McDonald’s?

– I don’t think so.

– I don’t think so.

– But McDonald’s doesn’t deliver to grocery stores other stuff, so they probably said Kraft already has that built in there, so we might as well…

– Also…

– Heinz Ketchup at McDonald’s.

– And Kraft is Maxwell House.

– Ohh.

– Found that out today.

– Oh, interesting.

– So it’s like–

– Yeah

– Kraft, they’re crafty.

-They are.

– They own everything!

– They do.

– It’s either Proctor and Gamble or Kraft.

– Yeah, it’s weird if you look at all those corporations.

– What if Kraft owns Proctor and Gamble?

– I don’t think that’s…

– Or the other way around?

– Okay, well, let’s–

– One thing I’m surprised about is the sun finally came out today.

-right.

– You’re watching this in the future, this is the day that it snowed in Florida. Not where we’re at, but it is. Anyway, the sun kinda came out.

– Right, so let’s talk about price. This was $6.29 for a bag. It was on sale at Publix, so sometimes it’s a bit more expensive, but that’s what, like eight something a pound.

– So, not the most expensive.

– I wrote it down.

– It’s like a cheaper–

– 8.38.

– Cheaper than a Peet’s, but more expensive than a Seattle’s Best. So, kinda that middle ground. Question is, is it good?

– Do we like it?

– ’cause that’s a fair price.

– Right? Yeah, do we like it?

– Do we like it? We’ll find out.

– Your coffee.

– I’ll drink from my redwoods mug today.

– And my favorite mug. Hm, it smells nice. Okay, so this coffee, I actually like. I think it’s nutty.

– Yeah, mm hmm, nutty.

– Now, it’s not, I would say, as flavorful as some of the other coffees. Other coffee is better, but this is pretty good coffee.

– Maybe because it’s a light roast?

– Mm hmm, mm hmm. Yeah, I, again, prefer a darker roast, but this one is actually nice. It’s kinda nutty, which is an odd thing for… We haven’t found a lot of nutty blends that are a light roast.

– Right, yeah, normally, the light roasts are beany.

– Mm hmm, but not Caribou’s light roast.

– They had a morning blend…

– Daybreak.

– Daybreak, yeah, and it was kinda like this. It wasn’t that beany flavor that we dislike so much.

– So that’s surprising. We, of course, said

– McDonald’s coffee?

– Yeah, McDonald’s coffee.

– I’m not a big fan of the drive-thru coffee we get from there.

– Which, with that you never know who’s making it. How long it’s been sitting there.

– I remember in the past–

– Who spit in it…

– You know, that kind of thing.

– I’ve had their frozen coffees and stuff, and it was good, I remember, but that was a long time ago, before we started reviewing coffee and, you know. But this is good.

– Go ahead.

– I was gonna say, I bet McDonald’s coffee is better in the morning when they’re going through a lot of it because that has been a thing that I’ve noticed with a lot of places. If you go at an odd time of day, it’s just always impossible to get good coffee somewhere, but if you go when it’s peak time, it’s always fresh.

– And the only time, just so you know, that we ever get coffee from a drive-thru is in the afternoon.

– If we are out.

– Yeah, like on a road trip.

– And we’re on our way to Sam’s or traveling somewhere, then we get coffee, but we never, never in the morning, do we go through anything.

– Yeah, just waste of money. It’s just hard to get a good cup of coffee out and about. Except for Starbucks is pretty good.

– Yeah, pretty consistent.

– Cafe brevy.

– Okay, so.

– Overall.

– Overall.

– Donut count? On a scale of zero to five.

– Three?

– I think three would probably be the highest.

– Yeah, three, I mean, I would buy it again if it was on sale.

– Yeah, the prices would have to be where it is or lower.

– Right, yeah, like it’s a good coffee if you get it on sale. I wouldn’t be mad.

– Yeah, well these coffees are popular. I hear people talk about them all the time. If you’ve tried it, let us know what you thought about it. Or if you tried some of the other roasts, which we will have some of those reviews upcoming, or else you’ve already watched those and you’re watching this in the future. Marty? But, anyway, let us know, in the comments below, what you think, no matter what year it is or if you’re in the past or the future.

– Right.

– Or the present.

– Leave us comments.

– That’s right.

– And subscribe.

– That’s right. And until next time.

– Keep grinding.

  1. Just a heads up: Not sure if you have tried the SE Grocers (Winn Dixie store brand) coffee but it’s on sale this week for 2/$5 for an 10-11oz brick. Pretty cheap!

    1. Oh wow, that is cheap! We’ll have to go pick some up! We’ve never tried it before.

      1. I haven’t either…I’ll wait for your expert opinion! ?

        1. Haha! That’s what we’re here for. I have to be honest…a brick of coffee doesn’t sound too enticing.
