I've never tried this, but I can't imagine it's worth consuming.

Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants,[1] also known as the McDonald's coffee case and the hot coffee lawsuit, is a 1994 product liability lawsuit that became a flashpoint in the debate in the U.S. over tort reform after a jury awarded $160,000[2] to cover medical expenses and compensatory damages (in addition to $2.7 million in punitive damages) to Liebeck who suffered 3rd degree burns in her pelvic region when she spilled hot coffee purchased from fast food restaurant McDonald's. The trial judge reduced the final verdict, and the parties settled for a confidential amount before an appeal was decided. The case was noted by some as an example of frivolous litigation;[3] ABC News called the case "the poster child of excessive lawsuits",[4] while others stated that the claim was "a meaningful and worthy lawsuit".[5]

Not necessarily - I loved the coffee from Greggs when I worked there. We used fairtrade coffee beans, not instant/ ready ground coffee. I only ever had double espressos with sugar, mind you (I never have any other type of coffee, apart from iced coffee.)

I'm sure mcd's were doing it for the money, but they serve everything else so I guess it was a matter of time before they tried to turn all 'hip and coffee-housey' to get rid of the nasty image of ronald mcdonald and fast food.

I'm a fan of Starbucks' pike place but the Starbucks in the library at my uni uses some gross dark roast. Sometimes it even has little particles of coffee bean in.

There's an independent place a few blocks from campus; same price as Starbucks but a million times nicer.
