Timmies is the same wherever you go, you know because of the customer rate that the coffee will be fresh. Other chains or local stores are an unknown factor, so why take the chance on something different (even if it may be better)

I admit that I have never had a "bad" coffee in Timmy's. I've also never had a good one. It's insipid. Mediocre. Weak. I haven't been into a TH for a while. Mainly because we haven't done a trip on the 401 for a while and it's easier for me to find a toilet somewhere else. |

No churchill....... :D I was in victoria and have a friend who runs a TH here and even with the long line-ups I have seen coffee dumped down the sink - I was amazed and ask my friend about it....and that's what he said....go figure! ;) |

Remember, Krispy Cream crashed and burned when they tried to expand into Canada. |

Marmbits, perhaps. Doesn't excuse the coffee, though. |

:beer: Based on the prices of Starbucks etc ( I know their coffee is good) but at £2.75 for a large, I will save thousands a year! Based on that reason only, I could financially justify moving to Canada! :) :D |
