Last Updated: 2026/04/24, Starbucks may be the world's largest coffee chain, but it doesn't serve as good coffee as McDonald's, according to the latest issue of Consumer Reports. Fast food giant McDonald's sells premium roast coffee that is the cheapest and best, according to the well-known American consumer magazine. This coffee also beats the latest from Burger King and Dunkendona chains.

The latest issue of the US Consumer report says that although Starbucks may be the world's largest coffee chain, it does not offer as good coffee as McDonald's.

The well-known US consumer magazine believes that the "super roasted coffee" sold by fast food Giant McDonald's is "the cheapest and the best". This coffee is also better than the latest coffee offered by Burger King and the Dondona chain. This McDonald's coffee is baked with whole beans.

To determine which chain offers the best fast-food coffee, a group of "trained testers" visited two stores in each chain and tasted their black coffee (no sugar or milk). The magazine reported that McDonald's coffee is "delicious and powerful, and although it lacks a bit of bright luster, it tastes excellent." Starbucks coffee, on the other hand, is "strong in taste, but bitter enough to make you cry instead of opening your eyes wide with excitement."
