McDinalds coffee is the old TH coffee. Some years back, not long ago, the contract came up and TH would not renew at that price. McD was smart enough to grab it.

Another example of TH screwing itself over with inferior product. How I wish that sad excuse for fast food would implode.

interesting alta, i didnt know that. who supplies the coffee anyway?
i seem to notice a better taste just in the last couple months or so.....

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).
