McDonald’s coffee probably now. Which seems ridiculous, but, yeah.
No
Tim’s used to be good, but they are speed running this chain into the ground. Quality is atrocious for every food item and notably the coffee, and their menu has a new desperate “hail Mary” item / category every month.
Tim’s needs to either go bankrupt and get bought out by people that care, or just go away. It has no right to exist with so many better options on the market.
Hell, I’d prefer Starbucks over their crap by now, and Starbucks coffee tastes like burnt cigarette butt water.
And don’t get attached to that Hail Mary product. It’ll be gone before you can remember that it existed.
My wife was quite upset when they dropped vegan sausage options twice in the span of a few years.
No. It’s awful. The only fast-food coffee I find tolerable is McDonalds.
Tim’s is terrible.
As others have said, Canadian McDonald’s now has the old Tim Hortons coffee, and the new Tim Hortons coffee tastes like they brewed it with water they collected from a puddle in the parking lot.
Presumably McDonald’s has different suppliers in other countries though.
We started going to MCD for coffee a couple years ago. Tried Tims maybe once a year and it still tastes like shit.
It was… Once upon a time. Now those who drink coffee largely regard it as brown, burnt water.
Tim Hortons was once a magical place that lives up to the nostalgia fuel marketing that drives the franchise to this day. Every single store has actual bakers on staff who made the pastries, the coffee was genuinely fresh, and it seemed like staff were valued.
Then it got sold to the investment bankers and franchise conglomerates. It’s been min/maxed to death, whittling down every cost to the bare minimum. Things taste like cardboard, and people go because it’s there.
Interestingly enough, when McDonald’s moved into the coffee game, they picked up the bean contract that Tim Hortons held for eons. Tim’s dropped it for cost, and not an insignificant amount of people swapped over to McDonald’s for their coffee.
Yep, worked there during the changeover. 2003-04ish. I actually loved working there under the old management, the food was good, quality was the priority. Then the fryers left, replaced by industrial microwaves…but we still baked the muffins. I’m sure even those are frozen/reheated these days.
@stamets@startrek.website Told ya so!
They’re missing text underneath it saying “In 2003”.
He lives outside of memes? Thanks for everything. You and a few others have done so much for the early fediverse.
Memes are just a weighted blanket for my life. Occasionally my toes poke out.
Thanks buddy. I try my best. Past couple weeks things have been a bit off so I haven’t been able to post as much as usual but it’s been nice to see stuff still churning on anyway with more people stepping up and memeing out. I absolutely love this place and I’ll never stop being all “aww shucks” with comments like this. If I could have even a tiny part to do with this place being lively and awesome then I can die happy.
I don’t know anyone who prefers Tim’s over other coffees, but I do know that they sell a ton of coffee.
It might have been at one point, but that was before it was bought out by a large corporation, and a bunch of “efficiencies” were implemented which changed suppliers and generally reduced the quality of the coffee and food.
People who love coffee brew it themselves. They don’t need to endure long lines and wait for some poorly treated minimum-wage employees to burn it for them.
I suspect coffee preferences, whether someone makes it for them or not, might be down to whether their place of work is conducive for even making coffee. Perhaps there are socioeconomic lines as well that divide people. Do most people feel the need to have their coffee made for them at a fast-food establishment?
I don’t drink coffee myself but last I heard, Tim’s had their own brand of coffee so hypothetically if somebody likes it, they can still brew it at home.
To clarify, people who love coffee buy fresh roasted beans and grind it themselves for brewing for the best possible flavor.
Buying a kilo of any pre-ground coffee and slapping it into a drip machine is not something people who love coffee would typically do.

You forgot that we worship St. James (Hoffmann).
I’m guessing their definition of “favourite” is judged by sales, or maybe litres sold? I don’t think anyone prefers Timmies, at least not for a decade or so.
hell no
It’s passable but at the bottom. It thrives on people who have been going there every day for decades since it was still good.
If it was, people wouldn’t be taking it with double cream, double sugar, to mask the taste.
Good point!
Not anymore
