"specialty coffee" news and stories

Oh, McDonalds. I'll always love their fries, but man... So in case you haven't caught it, or almost never see commercials (like me), look above. That's the fast food chain's new ad for sure-to-be-tasty lattes, mochas, and cappuccinos under the golden arches.

Those poor women -- having to suffer through reading and a removal from reality television. Having a handle on geography is so oppressive!

I can't help but wonder: Is McDonald's just alerting people to their new products, or do they actually think that specialty coffee drinkers will be lured in by this news? Most likely, it won't be better than wherever anyone gets their joe now, so it's not like they can coax people out of their habit and into the bright lights of fast food service.

For McD's ad for men, head after the jump.
