but yes, my Canadian partner didn't understand why I looked so horrified, he said without instructions, it seemed the obvious thing to do with them....
I can see why they might not be wildly popular!

Sorry I went off topic...I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I do like a French
Press if I do have one. Interesting to note how many positive remarks there are for MacDonalds; my husband is a dedicated MickyD coffee aficionado and has been for years, he says they are better by far from the rest.

My missus bought a can of TH coffee a while ago and sneakily brewed a pot of it. I took one swig and asked if the milk had gone off.

I wouldn't dream of buying it to make at home, with so many other choices available.
When you're spending the day in hospital with someone and it's either instant from the kitchenette, some anonymous and weak stuff from the hospital restaurant or Dark Roast from the TH, then it's Dark Roast every time.
But if I'm downtown and want coffee, then it's less likely to be TH.
But then you might be eating in somewhere like Cora's with free refills thinking how weak it is while your fellow diners drink from the same pot and say it's too strong.
Maybe that's the TH problem - "one size fits no-one" as I always used to say when seeing clothes marked one-size.

I still say Tim Hortons Dark Roast is good. It's relatively new.

For us, at home, Van Houtte French Roast.
