Or less water.

Cant beat some decent ground coffee made in the cafetiere

I was having a conversation with GF's cousin who is also a Trucker and he was telling me that he would stop for a Tim's on average 4 times a day, I asked him how much he would spend, he said 10 - 15 bucks a day (cuppa, doughnut, butty etc) then was complaining that he had no money!! I pointed out that it adds up over the year circa 3k (5 days x 48 weeks @ 12.50 a day)
I said to him go and buy a cheap coffee maker and make your own in the truck. A $6 can lasts me nearly a month so no more that $100 a year..... his response - you cant beat a Tims!!! Canadian logic eh???
(I thought of suggesting that he talk to his doctor about taste bud replacement..... )

Well now, I didn't say I was a great fan of Tim's coffee - frankly, I prefer the stuff I make at home - but free wifi, warmth and congeniality (and free donuts) make it a good deal.

Mind, BellAlliant came and hooked us up this morning so my 'Yay' may now be redundant.

Never mind the coffee and or wifi, thank god for the ever present stream of available Tim Hortons bathrooms when on road trips with the kids!

Where do you think the coffee comes from?

Dont you mean the "tea"?


Compared to the tea the coffee is manna from heaven.

Their chai tea is nice

I believe you can get free wifi at the Vancouver General Hospital (VGH).

Tim's is OK coffee and pretty cheap, but nothing special, so I've never really understood the national obsession Canadians have of defining themselves based on a chain of donut shops! I also don't understand the mentality of people "needing" to have takeout coffee, no matter where they are.

I know people who have Keurigs and Tassimos at home, but they still have to go on a coffee run every morning. My wife will get in the car before a long road trip and tell me (before we've even left the driveway) that she needs a Tim Horton's tea. I tell her she should have just boiled the kettle and use a travel mug! We even have friends who buy their coffee and breakfast from Tim's nearly every morning, even though he's out of work and they're so short of money that they had their electricity cut off a couple of months ago!

It's one thing if you're out and about, but I just don't understand the need to get a takeout coffee when you're close to home. As you say, it really adds up!

My Canadian GF will also insist on a Tims for a road trip despite having a choice of decent coffee in the cupboard and being the proud owner of multiple travel mugs

I really dont understand how some people think but you could swap Tims for the pub and swap Canada for the UK and the same applies...

In Richmond Hill? Wasn't aware it had the tropical climate required for the Coffea plants :P

You could of course argue (as no one understands the national obsession of Timmies) that its hard to understand that national UK obesession of binge drinking and throwing up all over the pavement at 3am outside some nightclub or kebab shop.
I think each country to their own

Your sense of humour is much weaker than my coffea (sic).

Throwing up the beer and Kebab keeps us slimmer than the canucks who ingest all that processed crap from Tims
