Didn't quite hit the mark....

I forgot how much liquid is in a flat white. This morning, in the search for a different coffee experience, and being swayed by the ads currently screening for McDonalds

"New stronger arabica bean blend"

(I know, I'm such a consumer), I decided to get a coffee from Maccas with some breakfast. I've recently had a couple under duress, (on the old blend) from the McCafe section, and found them bearable, possibly even palatable, as long as I got an extra shot in a small flat white.

So I ordered the same, and by the time I got to work it was cool enough to drink, and yet, the cup is a quarter full still, I just can't drink that much milk.
And yet, I had the same, in a china cup on the weekend and it was quite nice.
I've found that a bad macchiatto, is worse than nothing at all almost.

Hmm...the search goes on.

3 kindred spirits ~ This bugs them too!:

I too wondered about th alleged extra strong arabica blend, and was alarmed at exactly what blend they were using before?
The McTasteless blend?

The funny thing is I rarely remember to order an extra shot although could frequently enjoy doing so...

I don't know how to help with the milk consumption conundrum however... is it the milk itself? Or just the amount of liquid period?
Dataceptionist said...: Oh yes, defintely McTasteless. I'd describe it more as a Mc-Middle-of-the-road though. Not too strong, (and even then I've heard people ask for "weak" which personally I wonder what the point is...

I DEFINITELY have to have the extra shot if I'm going for the "normal" coffees. Otherwise its like drinking those coffee flavoured Milks without all the sugar.

I think its just the amount of liquid :( Its overwhelming

Hey its a free country!
You can say what you like, it need not even be totally relevant, and feel free to argue the point with me.
