Why is mcdonalds Ice coffee always bitter?

Question

The first time i tried mcdonald's new ice coffee it was great. However the second, third, fourth and fifth time i tried it i noticed that it tasted watered down, bitter, no sugar.

Why is this so inconsistent? Is it mcdonald's product thats defective, or the employees?

Answer 1

I think that it is probably the employee who made it. Everytime I get them, they taste good. I think that the person making it puts the sugar in, so if it is bitter it is the employee not the company.

Answer 2

the ice coffee suck  the people are not that great too  .so go to starbusks to get the coffee

Answer 3

well, they do make their coffee in big batches which are inconsistant.

each set of beans will give a different flavor

and i noticed the same thing. after talking to the employee at mcdonalds, he told me that many places have swithced the syrup, because itwas cheaper, and it is less concetrated than the one they used at first.

and i think its both: since it is a new product, many employee's haven't gotten use to making iced coffee yet, and mcdonald's is the true winner to: you get what you pay for.

Answer 4

Well of course it had to be great at first because who would buy it if it was horrible.

Answer 5

It's likely the employees. I would suggest asking for extra syrup in your coffee next time, which they should give you at no charge. It may taste watered down if it was sitting for a few mintues and the ice melted. If that's not the case, then try mentioning to the crew that their iced coffee tastes watery. They are supposed to brew double strength coffee for the iced coffee, but if they only brew single strength, that could account for the "watery-ness". It is probably not the product that's defective, because iced coffee is simply regular coffee, ice, cream, and the sugar syrup.

I've noticed that too. But it's McDonald's what more could you expect?
