- 1. I used to enjoy drinking McDonalds coffee but recently have found it to be much weaker in taste. Have you changed it in some way?
-
Firstly, many apologies for the very slow response to your question, as the site went through a few changes, some questions had slipped through the net, so thank you for your patience. Regarding the coffee, McDonald's is sorry to hear that you are not enjoying the taste of the coffee. The coffee has not changed. It is exclusively made for the company by Kenco from freshly ground coffee beans that come from a sustainable source as sanctioned by the Rainforest Alliance. If you are ever unhappy with the quality of your food please let the restaurant manager know immediately and they will see to it that a fresh order will be prepared for you.

It's not clear which coffee product you are referring to. However, McDonald's ingredients and nutritional information is available online in the 'Ingredients List' in the 'Eat Smart' section of www.mcdonalds.co.uk. There is also a comprehensive list of nutritional and allergen information available at www.mcdonaldsmenu.info.

While in Australia and was able to get Free Coffee refills when i ordered a meal, i have always been under the impression it was the same here in the UK as i had done it years ago. My brother attempted recently to do this and was refused and informed other McDs may do it but they didnt. I feel this should be available to customers at all McDs as it is with Free Fizzy drink tops ups ie the self serves in Australia. FREE THE COFFEE! keep Britain Going! Best Regards Phil

Supplying free coffee refills is at the discretion of individual restaurant managers, and is not currently a company policy.
McDonald’s do however have a coffee loyalty scheme on the coffee cups where you can receive one free coffee once you’ve purchased six.

-
McDonald’s chose to switch to Kenco Rainforest Alliance Certified Coffee because the programme takes a holistic approach to supply chain sustainability. Because farms are certified based on social and environmental standards that guide farmers towards long-term sustainable farm management, the quality of the coffee produced is generally higher. This means that McDonald’s customers get competitively-priced high quality Arabica coffee that has been produced sustainably according to standards that benefit coffee farmers and the environment. Rainforest Alliance certification focuses on the way that coffee farms are managed, whereas Fairtrade emphasises how products are traded. For more information you can visit the Rainforest Alliance website at www.rainforest-alliance.org

-
There are many things that can vary in a serving of fresh bean-to-cup (espresso style) coffee. The coffee itself, the machine, the other ingredients and even the time of year can all affect the taste of your drink. While the roasted coffee beans should be of a consistent flavour, the machines do occasionally require recalibrating and this could account for any inconsistency you’ve experienced. If you’re unhappy with a coffee, or any McDonald’s item, please bring it to the attention of the staff or restaurant manager and they will deal with it immediately.
