Coffee Connoisseur

Some of you may, and some of you may not know that I love coffee. I love the smell, I love the taste, I love the varieties, I love it in the morning, and I love it in the evening. I love coffee. As you can tell from some of my previous posts, Dunkin Donuts is my current coffee of choice. "What?! Dunkin?! That's trash!!!!" you may say... however, to counter that, I must say that a large coffee with cream and sugar from Dunkins (only 99cents on Mondays!) is smooth and rich, with a nice aroma and a polished after taste. It is also extremely cost efficient when it comes to buying coffee at a coffee shop, and has many drive-thru locations.

More on Dunkin later... my new mission is to be a Coffee Connoisseur. Staring in NE Ohio, and perhaps spreading out from there, it will be my mission to find the best coffee, at the best price, wherever I go. I will try my best to be objective, knowing that what I like, isn't always what others like.

For my first review, I chose McDonalds McCafe Iced Mocha with skim and whip. I was hoping for a refreshing coffee drink. I wasn't too disappointed, aside from the powdery after taste... The presentation was good, and it looked delish! I could definitely taste the espresso, that had a strong presence, and I could tell it was a mocha, but it was as if they pored Nestle's Quick (the 'q' for you Dane Cook fans) in in and it never dissolved... so the after taste was a bit unpleasant. So over all, the McDonalds on East Market St. in Akron gets a B- coffee rating.

Stay tuned for more coffee ratings!
