I thought this was just another internet rumor that started when TH started to roast it's own coffee.

The story is more complicated than what I said, so probably shouldn't have said it that way. I think it was the bean source that McD picked up while TH went a different direction to roast its own coffee. Not overly interested to pursue the history at this point. Just know McD coffee is excellent while TH coffee has become about as bad as anything I have tasted.

I don't mind either one, they're both ok by me. I do like McD's $1 any size coffee deals they put on though.
If I want a "really good" cup of coffee I go get beans from my local roaster which is miles above any "chain restaurant" coffee. Of course most of this is freshness and picking the exact beans you enjoy.

We are fond of Kickinghorse Coffee whole bean coffee. It was originally an Invermere, BC small town roaster but was majority bought out by Lavazza. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/kicking-horse-coffee-lavazza-invermere-elana-rosenfeld-1.4169048
Our favourite flavours are medium roast Three Sisters and Pacific Pipeline and we grind each morning bordering on higher strength in our coffee machine. There are about 5 others. Coffee is a big deal to a lot of folks.

Re your resumed-working fridge, that gurgling noise is telling you something is wrong with the motor (perhaps at its life-end).

[McDonalds] $1.00 Coffee any size starting Monday Nov. 30th - RedFlagDeals.com Forums
For those who can't keep off MCD's coffee ... $1 any size from Nov. 30 to Dec. 6, 2020. (Most likely only take-out since there's no dining-in during our lockdown (TO, ON)).

^ Posted as soon as I saw the ad on the subway line here in TO.
I would have to make a "special" trip to get a cup (or 2) as the nearest MCD is at least a dozen city blocks away from me.
Hopefully, by tomorrow Nov. 30 when the promotion starts, the coffee strengthen up as coffee does not taste like coffee when it's weak (aka diluted). And if I want Starbucks' strong, I would go there instead... anyhow ... I like mine's just "right", not too strong, not too weak .. guess like everybody else or a MCD customer.

Hey Jargey, how does that happen?
I thought it was pretty much idiot-proof. A pre-measured package of grounds is added to the machine and the user hits GO. The Bunn-o-matic machine then delivers a precise amount of hot water. It should be a consistent brew which is what I've experienced.

you would think so, but not always......in my experience....
also, sometimes you have to gently remind them its time to change , or clean, their filters, or whatever....tastes kind of burnt, or "barky" as we call it lol
pretty fussy bunch we are!
but hey! for a buck- cant complain too much!
