All the 7-11s over here have big espresso machines in them.. For about $1.50, I can get a decent large latte. It's about $1.25 for a large cafe americano. Usually I just make mine at home or in the office because I make everything caffè breve because there are fewer carbs and it has a richer flavour.

Geez guys i weren't expecting this much hate! Lol

They started opening a few over here but they are in Spar shops mostly in London and they are just a machine which you have to do yourself. My mom and I found one in a BP petrol garage in a place called Warrington near a Ikea store there. Its about 40mins away from where I live but we still went and enjoyed it. I decided to go back to it on saturday as I was shopping at that Ikea to then see that it had gone and was replaced by a Costa Coffee! Awful!! The nearest one I can go to is actually inside Manchester airport so unless I'm coming back from my holidays I can't have it! Haha.

Its more nostalgia for my mom and dad with their fave being double double! Ha

McDonalds (or McCafe, as it is called now) makes better coffee.

Serious Coffee, Starbucks, and Second Cup are much better, but I agree, McCafe ain't too bad.

Your about the fourth person now in the past week that's mentioned that. I guess I'll just have to give that try. Only problem is that Micky D's is a lot further from my house than timmies, I'm not sure if I can be deprived coffee that long in the morning :(

Starbucks!!! That's blasphemy man. It's basicly burnt coffee.

Edwards coffee. No word of a lie I pack a tin with me when I go to the states. But you can only get it at Safeway.

Comes down to taste. I like most of Starbucks coffee and their French roast the most.

It's like wine. I'm a Merlot, Cab Sav, and Syrah fella. Not so much into Pinot Noir.

Me too! Or Nabob's Breakfast Blend.

Rarely buy coffee at a shop but Second Cup or Blenz are both good.

Timmies, Sbucks, McD's or any other coffee shop brew is perfectly acceptable depending on how much Bailey's, Bushmills or Jamesons you add to your mug!! :idea:
