McCafe: McDonald’s Mocha Review
When I heard about the new McDonald’s McCafe, I really wondered if they could even think about competing with Starbucks. I was intrigued to try McDonald’s so I talked a friend into giving it a try by going there with me. Since we were suspicious, I ordered a Mocha so we could taste both. This review is based on our experience.
At the time you order, the coffee is ground and mixed under pressure using a state-of-the-art espresso machine. Neither can be faulted with the fresh taste of Mocha. I think it’s a taste of pressure brewing. I heard that the French always pressed good coffee.
McDonald’s uses 100 percent Arabica beans for a great taste too. It really is a very good coffee. The mocha ingredients were just too much. Both seemed to be as good as Starbucks for a little less price. However, if you use your Starbucks card for a 10 percent discount, you may not save much in comparison. I got a medium mocha for $2.59 plus tax.
The rest of our review reports that the McDonald’s McCafe experience is pretty much bad. Inside, I ordered that the developer, the developer and the course, the resources. At first, there was a lot of commotion behind the counter even though there was only one other customer ordering at the same time.
After knocking me down, my cashier started putting something in his box next to him. Meanwhile, 2 assistant administrators and 3 other workers behind the counter seemed preoccupied with guarding the two cash registers. I thought maybe my order shows up on the screen somewhere and a McCafe barista steps out from behind.
I was wrong. Finally my boss finished his house and noticed me standing there in front of him. He turned to the assistant mayor and said something. Then that McCafe espresso machine went in and made my coffee. I thought it was kind of interesting that my manager seemed to be the only one.
Anyway, as my order came, a customer got in line behind me. He turned to see him because he sounded as if he were laboring in speech. He looked at me confused, but I could tell that his boss seemed to understand his order. “So far,” I thought as I walked away.
I will proceed towards the area where the napkins, straws and spoons are kept. There were two customers in front of me who had placed their order right in front of the maps. Then the man left walking towards them. I stood there for a couple of minutes waiting for an opportunity to take some maps. Finally, I excused myself and reached for two towels, oats and a spoon.
Needless to say, the atmosphere in McDonald’s is not a place I care to relax. Others say Starbucks is fake, but at least you can relax without feeling like you’re on a special blue light. I recommend visiting McDonald’s in the more affluent parts of town during the times than lunch time for the best scenario. .
The McDonald’s coffee cup was similar to the cups used by Barnes & amp; Noble Bookstores I was glad it wasn’t styrofoam. If you want to make a statement like many do, it’s best to stick with a Starbucks cup.

So both of us agree on several points.
1) We will definitely drink McDonald’s McCafe coffee again.
2) You will always have to decide whether to stay in the restaurant to drink it.
3) For people who want to make a statement, it won’t happen with a McDonald’s cup.
4) McCafe cannot save how much money if you have a Starbucks card.
5) If you need a quick coffee and there is a McDonald’s nearby, then it is worth buying one of the coffee shops.
There was another good man who came to us. Redbox is located at McDonald’s through Movie Rental. I decided to try this too. For $1.00 we rented a new movie to watch in the evening. And if you’re not familiar with Redbox, you have 24 hours to return it to any other Redbox site. We are within a mile of our home which was convenient for us. After we figured out how to handle McDonald’s, we felt pleased with our two forays into McCafe’s offerings and movies.
