Perfecting the Art of Conversuasion

Wake Up and Smell the (FREE) Coffee! #McCaféFreeCoffee is Back!

By

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only. 

I won’t profess to be a coffee connoisseur. Truth is, I know very little about roasts, blends or classic undertones of velvety cocoa with hints of caramel and spice in the finish.

But I do know good coffee. And I do know I’m addicted to McCafé.

In line at the drive thru, or at home brewing McCafé Premium Roast ground coffee or K-Cups, my morning is not made until I’ve had my favourite cup of joe. Smooth, just bold enough and absolutely perfectly suited to my tastes, it’s the fuel behind my blog inspiration, getting my day off to a great start, and frankly, kicking a** like a boss.

You could call it the wind beneath my wings.

I don’t need to convince you. McCafé Premium Roast is enjoyed by millions of Canadians every single day! The medium dark roast is made from 100 per cent Arabica beans, and fire roasted the traditional way by master craftsmen, for a perfectly balanced flavour and aroma. Since its introduction in 2011, McCafé Premium Roast has been winning over coffee lovers, one cup at a time.
B-eL4gVCcAAeR5_If you’ve yet to savour the flavour, this week, McDonald’s Canada is serving up FREE McCafé Premium Roast coffee! Simply drop by any participating McDonald’s restaurant in Canada between Monday, February 23rd and Sunday, March 1st for a FREE small cup of hot brewed coffee at absolutely no charge – any time of day –  with no purchase necessary. 

How’s that for (coffee) buzz-worthy news?

Of course, my friends at McDonald’s Canada always go above and beyond for my readers – it’s just one of the reasons I’m proud to work with them. This time, I’ve got a great gift basket to give away!
IMG_6139 (2)The basket includes 2 bags of McCafé Premium Roast ground coffee, 1 box McCafé Premium Roast K-Cups, 2 McCafé tumblers, 1 McCafé notebook and 1 x $100 McCafé Gift Card! The total value of this prize is almost $160!

  6. Mary Anderson

    Thanks for the contest. I am so bummed I am stuck at home with sick kids…or I would be heading to McD’s for some coffee. My hubby will drop some off for me.

  12. Nicole Jubleew

    I have not yet had the pleasure of trying McCafé’s Premium Roast coffee but I’m planning a stop this week!

  23. Jennifer Manganelli

    I love McCafes coffee because it tastes better then any other coffee I have tasted, and its so much then it was when they first brought it out. Yum yum!!

  26. Holly

    McCafe is perfect. It isn’t too strong and has a great flavour. I prefer it over Tim Hortons and definitely over Starbucks. :)

  38. Dawn Jaycocks

    The coffee is very tasty it’s just not available on my daily route. Get it now and then for a special treat.

  47. Dana Miller

    I have not tried it yet but have been encouraged to switch from cola to coffee to get my caffeine boost.

  48. Colleen Kleinsteuber

    ….I Have Not Tried It Yet, But Everyone Seems To Enjoy The Taste…Thank You For A Great Contest !!!!

  55. Dawn Kicks

    Yes we have tried, my bf got me hooked. He made the switch from Tim’s first. Love the smooth taste, not bitter at all. Always tastes fresh.

  58. Renate Lukenchuk

    I love McDonald’s coffee, always available and inexpensive. Getting the 8th free is a bonus too!

  68. Lisa rumolo

    McDonald’s coffee is great! I drink it black and its strong and not bitter. Way better than timmies

  71. Marya

    I LOVE McD’s coffee. They hooked me years ago when they first started offering free coffee. I would pile my grumpy kids (4 boys aged 4 and under) into the van, put on some kids music, pick up my free coffee, and drive the country roads for an hour or so. Sleeping kids, and happy mom!

  72. shelley k

    Yes I have tried it, and I drink it often. I love the flavour. I prefer it to Tim’s and a lot of other coffee places, plus it’s cheaper! I remember years ago, the coffee served at Mcdonalds was so horrible…I think changing coffee and making it more of a focus was a very smart move for Mcdonalds.

  75. Marlene Unruh

    It goes down easy without sugar , which I’ve had to give up. Didn’t think I’d enjoy coffee again, but I love McCafe Premium roast.

  82. DarW

    HANDS DOWN BEST COFFEE OF ALL THE DRIVE THRU’S!! I rarely ever buy that other stuff that most ppl run to roll up the rim on.
    LOVE My McD’s Arabic coffee :)

  96. Sabrina Tong

    I don’t think I have tried it, but I would like to. I’ve heard that it’s better than that other formerly fully Canadian coffee establishment

  106. Kristy

    I have tried it both in store and at home. I do prefer the taste of the brewed in store mcCafe over the home brew. It’s just not quite the same when you make it at home (but still good!).

    I have tried their premium roast and I think it’s great. It definitely has a richer flavour to it.

  119. Martine Gauthier

  123. Theresa Black

  124. teresa McIlwain

    We absolutely LOVE mcCafe coffee. My husband gets a cup every day. I bought a can of McCafe coffee to use in our reusable kcups. My hubby even got one of daughters to switch from another drive through coffee place. Now McCafe is the only coffee she wants to drink.

  126. Karla Sceviour

    no,I have not tried it before, I am not a big coffee over,but my hubby is,he loves Mccafe coffee!

  136. Krista M

    Yes I drink Mccafe every week. It’s comparable to other coffee at a terrific price, the flavor is smooth & delicious. Plus they have awesome promotions for free small coffees. I am a fan!

  137. loucheryl

  150. Florence C

    Love the taste of McDonalds coffee. We pick up a tin there sometimes to make at home. On our walks we walk past Tim’s to go to McDonald’s for a coffee.

  151. Tara Jeles

    My husband loves Mccafe and goes pretty much everyday. We both love the taste and get a caramel shot in it that makes it even more delicious.

  160. Sharlene

    I got a coffee maker 5 yrs ago and never opened it – after trying the Medium dark roast at my moms I opened the machine and started sneaking some from her so I could enjoy real coffee for a change instead of instant!

  161. Terri Baker

    It’s bold and delicious! Best coffee at any fast food restaurant or coffee shop. The price is great too

  162. Tannis W

    I have only tried mcDonald’s coffee from their restaurant and not the stuff you can buy at a store. I think the restaurant coffee is good!

  166. John Allison

    My wife and I love McDonald’s coffee and haven’t been to the other coffee shop in about a year.

  169. Doris Calvert

    I have tried it and it’s really good, I am a big Tim’s fan but honestly this coffee is just as good and I believe even better! I would love a basket, we are coffee addicts!

  170. Lindsay C

    I have tried the McCafe coffees and they are soooo good! Much better than any other fast food restaurant, and just as good as specialty cafes without the big price tag!

  180. Jody D

    It is a vast improvement over the previous offerings! They have great coffee now, and good combination flavors!

  181. Shelley Nelson

    yes I have tried McCafe Premium roast coffee and I much prefer it over its coffee competitors. It is a great dark roast but is not bitter. I also really like the fancy coffees that are made from it. They did a really great job launching a premium coffee yet it is very reasonably priced.

  186. Wanda Tracey

    I like McCafes coffee!! I have not had a chance to try the McCafes new Premium Roast coffee but my daughter has and she is raving about it already.I have always liked McCafes so I am excited to try this new flavor!!!!!!!! This is a very generous gift package.Thank you for the chance to win! :)

  195. Soozle

    I prefer the taste of the McCafe to the other coffee shop coffees as it’s nice and smooth; not bitter

  201. Linda Klages

    Hubby goes EVERY day for McD’s coffee. They even offer FREE refills. It’s reasonably priced for “senior’s coffee.

  204. Charlene Lucas

    As a lifelong Tim Hortons fan I have to say that McCafe far surpasses Tim’s without a doubt! I love McCafe

  217. julie palmese

    I go often, almost every morning, and order the dark roast. It’s so much better than other coffees.

  226. Francine F.

    I have tried it, and really like it…I bought the at-home version when it was at an introductory price…now that it’s at regular price, I’ll have to wait for a sale…unless I win this :)

  227. Jasen H

    I find McCafe to be a decent value for the money, certainly better than other specialty coffee chains offerings.

  231. Gail Anema

    Our family is all about that other place – we would honestly give McCafe a chance if we win this prize!

  245. Alayne Langford

    My daughter introduced me to McCafe Premium roast coffee and to be honest, I believe she prefers this coffee overall to those “other” Canadian brands! We love to share :)

  247. Jennifer P.

  297. michelle

    I love that its a medium dark roast, its rich and tastes great. I fiund with Tims its either burnt tasting or too watery and I have never had that with Mc Cafe

  298. Lisa H

  489. Kristy Vassell

    I Love McDonald’s Premium Roast Coffee because it is the perfect balance of strength and is always fresh!

  502. Donna Sousa

    I Love it! We have switched and our morning stop is now McD’s. The coffee is always fresh and consistent. We used to go to the home of the Double Double but everyday it would taste different, one day too sweet, one day no sugar at all, on the rare occasion it would be just right.
    McD’s has been bang on every morning for the last 6 months! Oh and here’s a little tip. Get the coffee and a muffin combo and just pay to upsize your coffee to a med or large whatever you prefer and you muffin ends up costing 20 cents!

  504. Ray Franklin

    It just tastes great. We don’t go,out for coffee often but when we do it is McDonald’s coffee

  507. Lorna May

    We tried it last year when McDonald’s free coffee day. Have been hooked ever since
