    i guess its real coffee in the same way that mc donalds is "real" food

    Hey MacDonalds cooks to order now, that makes it real food. And it taste better too, just look at the happy faces on the customers waiting for the not so fast anymore swill.

      Sounds like my old job where we had a full auto machine which made flavoured brown as I used to call it, being the only coffee snob in the office got me quite a reputation through the whole company... Always going to the tea room with plunger and beans in hand (ground at home that morning, so not perfect I know) to make a nice coffee that at least tasted like coffee

      Poor plunger has now been relegated to the cupboard, cant bear to sell it as it was my first foray into coffee snobbing

          Hate to break it to you, but McDonalds "makes" burgers to order, they dont mention cooking in their ads. This is because the patties are cooked in advance and held until the orders come in. Then the burger is "made" using a precooked patty and presliced salad. Otherwise youd be waiting around 10 minutes for your order, and that is unacceptable to most Maccas customers.

          I thought I was incapable of drinking instant, and hadnt had any for a couple of years, including two hospital stays. Then I moved house. The machines were transported and parked on their new bench, I knew where the coffee and paraphernalia were, there was only one hitch. The electricity company hadnt connected the power, and were unable to do so until the next day. So no coffee that day. Got to work the following day and was faced with another day of drinking tea (no disrespect to tea drinkers intended) and a day long staff meeting. So I headed for the instant. It was ugly, but it was caffeine. I suspect that it will be a long time before I drink instant again, but that day it wasnt a hard choice.

            10 minutes?.....uhm...no.

            I will correct you here. The most time you will wait for an order is 2 minutes.

            The meat is precooked, and this only is in holding for a small amount of time. Maccas now have a policy of "cook less more often" therefore suppling the customer with a fresh product. There is no longer the "production bin" where the burgers were made and left for awhile.

            Anyway, back on topic.

            -Linda

              Thanks Linda, but I was saying that if the patties werent precooked THEN it would take 10 minutes to fill orders. For the record, I do eat McDonalds on occasion, and was by no means knocking them, simply correcting someones assumption that burgers were cooked to order. In fact very little cafe or restaurant food is completely cooked to order - there is almost always some degree of preparation done in advance.
