McDonald's Coffee
All this news about McDonald's vs. Starbucks coffee ...
The second time I tried McDonald's coffee was when they gave away McSkillet Burritos with the purchase of a large drink. (The first time was a early morning stop in Barstow. It was so early, my taste buds hadn't kicked in yet.)
I was pleasantly surprised. The coffee wasn't bad at all! It had good flavor and body. Unlike Starbucks, I didn't detect a bitter, burnt taste.
I won't be making McDonald's a morning habit. I'm more of a toast-for-breakfast type of person. If I want to treat myself to coffee and breakfast, I'd go to Starbucks. I love croissants and their banana walnut loaf. Comparing calories and fat, Starbucks will be kinder to my figure.
Croissant: 370 calories, 21g of fat
Banana Walnut Loaf: 410 calories, 17g of fat
McSkillet Burrito: 610 calories, 36g of fat

Here's my only concern about these "premium coffees": Um, can I still get my senior discount on this premium coffee stuff? Because I'm on a fixed income, and they just increased the cost of my medicare payments. Not only that, but inflation is making my social security checks less and less relevant. I'm old.
