Meanwhile, a Venti or Trenta (24 or 31 oz.) at Starbucks is always over $3 (though it comes with ambiance and cheap refills).Īnyhow, Cazey ordered his coffee, and it was love. ![]() ![]() (We’re only talking large coffees here because go big or go home.)Īdditionally, McD’s iced coffee is usually under $3 including tax. And it’s definitely higher than the water Dunkin’ Donuts sells you (139 mg at 32 oz.). Stomp the brakes, that’s higher than a Starbucks Trenta (285 mg at 31 oz.). A large iced coffee (32 oz.) at McD’s has 320 mg of caffeine. The selling points for McDonald’s iced coffee are caffeine content and price. This means that those of us who are used to ‘medicating’ quickly in the morning don’t have to gulp down 16oz of unnecessary milk and sugar to get our fix.Sold iced coffee sometime before, but now was the time to pull Excalibur from the stone, otherwise known as “please drive around to the next window.” While the espresso that McDonald’s uses is normally put into lattes and mochas, you can in fact order a straight shot of espresso.

If you’re eating some heavier food as you would find at McDonald’s (it’s no secret that it isn’t exactly healthy), you don’t need your cup of coffee to push you over the edge into indigestion.

In addition to the smoothness, one of the best things about Arabica beans is that they can be less acidic than Robusta. It’s not the best coffee out there by a longshot, but it’s good quality and easy drinking with nutty and chocolate notes. While there are plenty of other roasteries out there that can make a smoother cup of coffee, McDonald’s provides consistent quality day in and day out, making it not just a go-to place for breakfast, but a great place for the morning joe as well.

McDonald’s not only adds milk and sugar to their espresso drinks, but the Arabica coffee beans are also a perfect choice for the coffee itself due to their mild flavor profile. Let’s just say a lot of milk and various kinds of sugar can make dirt taste good. Most people even if they are not regular coffee drinkers enjoy an espresso drink.
