  • OMFG YOU ARE SUCH AN ASSHOLE IDIOT STOP TROLLING ME

    Comment


    • Srsly, I LOVE going to Tim Hortons in the Middle East. Never stops being mildly amusing. And, during the two to three weeks I spend a year visiting people back home. It's a novelty.

      I will stand behind the sour-cream glazed, though. And on road trips. American interstate fare has really improved, but in the past, you can't beat the TH chili on a winter drive.

      • Tim Horton's coffee is terrible.

        I used to drive through from Vermont to Michigan to visit my mother. The worst part of the drive was that you couldn't get a decent cup of coffee in Canada.

        • The only thing good about Tim Hortons is that it's there. Simple convenience. You never have to search for it. In Hamilton, up until a few years ago, you could stand at the King and Dundurn intersection and see 4 different Tim Hortons locations. But by god the coffee is terrible and the food is worse.

          • I don't think the coffee is terrible. Far worse than Dunkin Donuts tho. And since McDonalds improved their offering, there's plenty of options better in the cheap category.

            • I am convinced that Canadians wouldn't know a good cup of coffee if it bit them in the ass.

              • Horton's is horrible.

                That's twice Talent has been right. Bizarro world.

                  • I might be a bit of a weirdo when it comes to coffee. My go-to on a regular basis is the Americano at Starbucks, though there are others I like better. I like a dark roast. I'm sick of the light-roast crap. There is far more small-batch coffee than there are talented small-batch-coffee roasters.

                    There is a local coffee shop here run by a pair of Ethiopian sisters. Their light roast is the only I like. Better than all the hipster versions put together.

                    • Oddly though, just before I moved here from Ann Arbor, I remember coming into Windsor to pick up my kid. Crossed back with a cup of Timmy's, and the immigration officer asked if I'd crossed over just for the coffee. Apparently he'd seen a number of people going over to the Cdn side for Timmy's because there are Cuban beans in the blend there, but not in the US due to the embargo. As much as I am not offended by Timmy's, I sure wouldn't pay $10 in tolls and endure CBP hospitality just for a marginally better version of it.

                      • I know that many people are, but I am not a fan of acidy coffee. Tim's, McDonalds and Dunkin all fall into this category. Of the three, I like McDonalds.

                        Burger King has a decent coffee for my taste. Richer-not as much acid

                        • What coffee is non-acidic? I'm not sensitive to the difference I guess.

                          • Some have more acid than others and the acid dominates. Some have a richer, less "bright" flavor and the acid takes a back seat. I'd imagine it has to do with the roast as much as the bean used.

                            Just my take on it. I'm not a coffee expert by any means.

                            • I love DD and McD's coffee. Both cheap, a good roast, and 100% arabica.

                              • DD should be doing it's own version of the Pepsi challenge. It can be awfully hard to tell the difference between it and the $15/bag roasters-du-jour.
