McDonald's Free Coffee from Oct 31 - Nov 6, 2011

It's the best time of year for coffee lovers. McDonald's is giving away free small coffees for a week. At some locations they won't charge to upgrade to a medium or large size. At others they may charge 0.25 or 0.50 cents to upgrade the size.

There is quite the rivalry brewing in Canada over being the low cost coffee provider. By giving away free coffee, McDonald's is hoping to claw away prized market share from their competitors. Personally I like McDonald's coffee and would choose it over Tim Hortons coffee. Check out this article for more information on why McDonald's coffee is better value:

I'm sure the numbers have changed since that article was written (prices and cup size), but McDonald's still allows you to refill you coffee if you drink it in store. This way you can be so wired that you won't sleep for days!


Here's an inexpensive way to keep your coffee grinder clean:

What's better than waking up to a free cup of coffee? There ain't nothing better.

Some McDonalds will give you any size coffee. You'll be saving about $1.50 a coffee. We'll all be getting the jitters from caffeine overload over the next two weeks. Be sure to stop by a McDonalds on your way to work or school! You have two weeks to take advantage of this incredible promotional offer.

Coffee Wars!

Tim Hortons vs. McDonald's Coffee

The coffee wars are on in Canada. Canadians love their warm cup of joe in the morning. According to the Coffee Association of Canada, Canadians drink 2.6 cups of coffee a day. Tim Hortons is Canada's favourite low cost cup of coffee, with over 2,800 stores in Canada. There are a lot of competitors that want to get in on some of Timmy's market share, of all the low cost coffee shops available in Canada (i.e. Coffee Time, Coffee Culture and Country Style) I find McDonald's provides the best value.

Here are some quick statistics.







Not only do you get more coffee for less money at McDonald's, you can also refill your coffee when you're drinking your coffee in McDonald's. That's exceptional value! I also really like the taste of McDonald's coffee. I might even say that it tastes better than Tim Hortons coffee, but that may be unpatriotic. Next time you're getting your morning cup of joe give McDonald's coffee a shot.

For you Americans here's a little clip about the Starbucks vs. McDonald's coffee wars in the U.S.A.
