Comments on: McDonald’s vs. Starbucks — coffee fight! http://www.zumsteg.net/2008/08/04/mcdonalds-vs-starbucks-coffee-fight/ Derek Zumsteg's site of doom Mon, 28 Feb 2011 19:03:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: joel http://www.zumsteg.net/2008/08/04/mcdonalds-vs-starbucks-coffee-fight/comment-page-1/#comment-90954 joel Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:40:05 +0000 http://www.zumsteg.net/?p=455#comment-90954 I think that Starbucks brought this on themselves with the addition of the (surprisingly good) breakfast sandwiches. Those really altered the balance of McDonalds/fast food outlet for breakfast and coffee at Starbucks/other coffee chain. By putting those two together and McDonalds really had to step up and start offering good coffee products. A great example was on the morning of RAMROD. It's 5:30AM, I'm in Enumclaw and I'm not going to make two stops before I get out of town. With that agenda, Rob and I had a coffee and an egg-sausage sandwich while never leaving Starbucks. In a world without breakfast sandwiches I probably would have hit McDonalds and suffered through their drip coffee.
