    I wonder if the people who claim that only order the sugary stuff. I tried McDonald’s a couple of times recently after reading online that they got the Tim Hortons OG coffee provider and it was awful. I’m not a fan of Starbucks but at least they serve consistently good coffee (not great). I only get it if I’m on company expenses

      The best mass market coffee I’ve had is, no joke, Sheetz. If their fancy machines are to be believed, they’re grinding the beans fresh every time and doing some kind of pressurized brewing method. For each cup. And if you buy something else it’s usually free.

        Wawa has great coffee, too. I don’t think it’s anything to do with the coffee itself or the brewing process - it’s because they sell a shit ton of it so you never get stale coffee that’s been sitting in an urn all day.

          It’s almost Pumpkin Spice coffee season! I look forward to seeing the pumpkin on the wawa door. Then I buy like 10 bags!

            I like their Christmas blend the best. I always buy a bunch of bags thinking it will last me until summer, and then it’s gone by the end of January.

          That’s the same reason I use Sheetz (or Wawa if I’m in enemy territory) for gas. It’s not sitting in the tanks getting stale.

        Funny how everyone’s tastes are different. There is a Sheetz with a gas station on the way back from where I go skiing a lot and I often stop for gas and coffee. I keep hoping the coffee won’t be garbage, but it always is.

        I don’t even like Starbucks but there are plenty of blends they have that I would pick over sheetz any day.

          Are you getting it out of a thermos or from the fancy machines? The thermos stuff wasn’t that great but IMHO the machines make a fantastic cup. I think they’re just making espresso and watering it down to an americano, though, so if that’s not your thing I can see why you wouldn’t like it.
