Enjoy McCafé at Home

By

NOTE: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

It is day 10 of McCafé at Home. Three cups per day, taken as my usual double milk, one sugar. The cups are all consumed within 17 minutes of being brewed. And, I have a very unusual side effect to report.

I’m happy all the time.

Why? Because I am drinking McCafé at Home! McCafé Premium Roast ground coffee, as well as on-demand single-serve formats compatible with T-Disc and K-Cup brewing systems (I recommend the Hamilton Beach 2-Way FlexBrew Coffeemaker), are now available in major grocery retailers across the country. This means that the consistently rich, smooth and delicious taste of McCafé coffee can be enjoyed in the comfort of my home – and that’s enough to put a smile on this girl’s face!

Think I’m overly enthusiastic about coffee? I’m not alone. Consider this: 65% of Canadians aged 18-79 drank coffee yesterday, and coffee drinkers consume on average 3.2 cups of coffee per day. (Look at that! I’m completely normal.) In fact, coffee and tap water are the most commonly consumed beverages in Canada.

But there’s also an emerging trend in coffee consumption – the single cup brewer. Single-cup machines are now in a strong second place (25% of past-day coffee users drank a coffee prepared using a single-cup machine). And single-cup brewer ownership is markedly higher in Canada than in the United States (20% vs. 12%).

Of course, McCafé has got you covered, offering both formats for your enjoyment. We generally brew a pot of McCafé Premium Roast ground coffee in the morning, and then switch to single-cup brewing in the afternoon. It’s convenient, it’s delicious, and it’s a huge win for coffee lovers everywhere.
McCafe at Home(Also: this Songza playlist, developed by McCafé, is what I like to call fabulous “brewing music.”)

What are your coffee habits? Do you fit nicely into the survey averages, or do you drink more/less coffee every day? Do let us know in the comments! And there’s definitely something in it for you… the chance win a McCafé Premium Roast Coffee Prize Pack, valued at $145!

The prize pack includes a generous grocery gift card, 2 Bags of McCafé Premium Roast ground coffee, a travel mug, reusable grocery bag and a magnetic grocery list.

  20. Andrea B.

    I enjoy one cup of coffee a day, first thing in the morning. Sometimes I have a cup in the afternoon for a pick me up.

  33. Chandra Christine O'Connor

    Hubby is the coffee drinker on weekends I’m sure he has at least 4 within an hour.

  36. kristen visser

    I have one large everyday. Cant have more then one cause im breastfeeding and dont want the little one up all night

  43. Shelley N

    I enjoy 2 cups of coffee a day and I have both at home when I wake up. The odd time if I am out for lunch or dinner I will have a 3rd cup but I have to say overall it is 2 cups a day for me.

  64. Alexa reinink

    I drink one when I’m working. When I have the day off or out for breaky, I drink 2-3! I don’t drink it to wake up, I just enjoy the taste

  66. Rosanne Robinson

    I make 8 cups of coffee every morning (according to the coffee pot), but only fill up my hubby’s & my cup twice each, so we must have really huge coffee cups!

  78. Sara Chi

    On average, I have 2-3 cups of coffee per day, my husband brews freshly grounded coffee every morning so the both of us can bring the travel mugs to work :)

  88. Silvia D

    I drink alot of coffee so probably 5-6 cups a day BUT ..they tend to get cold on me and seem to pour half cups out!

  89. Alayne Langford

    I drink 2 cups but hubs drinks 3-5, daughters drink at least 4 (collectively) and son drinks at least 3-4 per day so collectively approximately a lot of coffee in this house, we can’t keep up!! (that’s not counting their pesky friends) :)

  90. Wanda Tracey

    I have entered your awesome giveaway that I love because I love coffee!! In answer to your question I drink about three cups a day.Thank you for a chance.

  92. Shannon

    Im usually a tea drinker but will dabble with coffee time to time. Hubs is a 3 cups a day kinda guy!

  100. Leslie W-H

    Honestly, I am a tea drinker, but hubby makes 2 cups of coffee a day with our Keurig, and my teenage daughter is experimenting with making iced coffee using the brewer.

  125. Darlene Schuller

    More then I should.. coffee maker never stops here. A lot goes cold but .. it’s constant…

  129. Angela M

    2-3 cups a coffee a day for me and one of those is a medium double double from McDonald’s which I absolutely can’t get enough of.

  130. Amanda

    I usually have 3 cups a day in my giant travel mug in the morning. It’s been so busy at work lately that they’ve had to be reheated a few times before I get to them :(

  135. Amanda Neilson

    If I could, it would be all I drink. However, in an attempt to lose my gut by Christmas, I’m limiting myself to 1 cup a day. Turns out, quitting coffee is harder than quitting smoking was for me lol.

  144. mel mclean-deville

    I have one cup a day, if I have to do anything before noon it can be upwards of three.

  149. Debra Running

    I usually don’t quite finish 1 full cup of coffee in the morning, but since we got the Tassimo McCafe T-discs, I drink the full cup in record time. Sooo smooth and delicious.

  153. Karen Hayes

    I have at least two cups everyday, but I go back and forth between Tim Hortons and McDonalds coffee. Right now, I’m on the Tim Hortons kick, but only because I’m currently addicted to cherry cheese Danishes!

  169. ivy pluchinsky

    I usually have 1 cup in the morning, and sometimes at night I have 1 Decaf Coffee if its cold out and I am wanting something hot to drink

  178. Cindy

    I drink about 2-3 coffees a day, it gets my day started in the morning and it’s a nice pick me up mid-afternoon at work.

  216. Christina B.

    Usually maximum 2 cups, I used to drink more but then I had to start drinking more water so I switched from coffee to water! :p

  221. Krista Embertson

    I drink 2 – 3 per day and my first is being made before I even get the dog out the door. We have a 5 am start during the regular week at our house. I am one of those people that simply cannot function without a cup of coffee as soon as I get up. The smell, the taste.. ahh I love it.

  234. Brandee H

    Usually one in the morning. If I have to work late, a second helps me get through the afternoon!

  241. Nancy

    I don’t drink coffee everyday (I’m more of a tea fan for an every day warm drink), but if I were to have one it’s gotta have a little bit of vanilla syrup added in. Plus a lot of milk. And sugar. Lots.

  242. Brenda Burke

    Now that I can purchase McCafe at my local grocery store I have 2 McCafe’s in the morning to get me started. One for home and one for the drive to work. I have a Keurig and a Tassimo so I wanted to try both McCafe styles. If one were to ask I’d say I like the Tassimo better for McCafe’s My guess is that I’m going to have to buy more because I got my daughter and hubby hooked as well. :)

  253. WestCoastMom

    I’m below the average but that’s ok, I beat to my own drum! McCafe coffee has surprised our family with how great it tastes and at such a great price point.

  257. Wayne Lecoy

  264. Angie

    I am not a coffee drinker – so none! :) I want to win this for my hubby who drinks two cups each morning.

  267. Lisa (@runrgal2)

    I drink 1-2 cups per day. Morning & afternoon. (And sometimes and extra can be a great boost before a run.)

  276. Marion Bruce

    I love coffee! I have a cup as soon as I get up! And, a cup in the afternoon. If I have company in the evening I may have another cup!

  286. Jason Q

    More and more all the time…thank goodness they’re discovering more and more health benefits to it!

  313. gayleen lambert

    I used to only drink 1 cup a day, but since trying McCafe, i’m up to 2 to 4, depending on how many errands i can think up so i can go to McDonald’s for another! lol

  326. Lorena Grande

    Typically this is my wake-up. Although a few weeks ago, I did stop for an afternoon McCafe after a very long bikeride, and it sure helped me get home!

  327. Eva Mitton-Urban

    Regimented structured gal – 1 cup in the morning and 1 cup in the evening….*aaaah*

    Eva Mitton-Urban

  340. William Deaffie

    I probably drink about 2 pots of coffee a day. I grew up in an Icelandic home and they always have a cup at hand.
