Worst coffee I've ever had from a fast food chain. There was a promo two years back where it was free and it wasn't even worth it then.

So agreed! I tried it a few months ago cause of a thread I saw on RFD and it was simply terrible. I’m not really a coffee snob and usually not too picky but this was not good.

If I recall I think they use Van Houtte Coffee but it’s been a while since I’ve had one.

Try a different location. It really depends on the staff. I've had excellent coffee from some and terrible from others

It's true - during the free promotion a few years ago it was excellent when I was going during the day. I have bought coffee (regular price) in the late afternoon or evening, when it's different staff, and it's been worse.

In my opinion, not great, but I will spend $1 on it.

I'll stick to my McDonalds $1 medium. That organic stuff A&W uses is honestly....well, I personally don't think it's organic

Wow, reviews are all over the map. From positive to negative (yes, I know it's location specific).

If I'm buying coffee, no matter the price, at least it has to be drinkable and I can enjoy the caffeine hit. (i.e. I don't want it to be like Mcdonald's coffee back in 2013 when it tasted like mud-water)

If you drink McD or Tim Hortons coffee then A&W coffee is just as good. It's also a good deal because you can get larger sizes. Thank you OP for the update.

This coffee is okay. A bit inconsistent, sometimes it's quite good, sometimes it's not great. It doesn't matter if you put in dairy and sugar, but if you drink it black it's a bit of a dice roll depending on location. Personally for one dollar I'd give it a shot. I don't find it worse than Tim's (personally I think it's a bit better), I do think it's usually worse than McD's.

I will say though their overall product offering is great! I personally think they make the best burgers of any major chain in Canada, breakfast sandwiches use real cheddar and fried egg, etc.

Coffee taste is very personal. I HATE Tim Hortons & Starbucks (too strong), but millions of people disagree. A&W is my favorite coffee, but I appear to be the anti-demographic, so don't go by what I say :)

I got the email this morning in Ontario. They were great when it was free coffee a couple years ago. I switched to McD a couple months ago when they were doing their $1 coffee. I don't have that much of a preference. So I will move to whoever has the current deal (and is conveniently located).

I agree. Their coffee is terrible. Not even worth the time/gas/cost to get it.

Agreed, worst tasting coffee. Tastes like water with sugar, not even mild strong and I drink McDonalds and Tim Hortons for comparison. Twice I had the coffee spill on me because of their leaky lid design, even though it was closed properly.

Sounds like it's luck of the draw and day-to-day specific but my experience has been that A&W coffee is some of the best tasting coffee I've had!
