McDonald's is testing new cold brew options in select Southern California restaurants.

The move ups the ante on its competition with Starbucks for coffee lovers everywhere.

CEO Chris Kempczinski has told analysts that coffee and chicken represent big growth opportunities.

McDonald's has upped the ante on its competition with Starbucks for coffee lovers everywhere.

The fast-food chain is testing two cold brew options at some Southern California locations, Restaurant Business reported.

McDonald's is piloting traditional cold brew, served black over ice, as well as a marble cold brew, which contains syrup and cream. The McCafé additions can be made using equipment currently available in restaurants, according to the publication. The drinks are available for a limited time only.

CEO Chris Kempczinski told analysts on McDonald's most recent earnings call that both coffee and chicken represent major sales growth opportunities for its restaurants.

"On core menu, chicken for us is a big opportunity, as is coffee," Kempczinski said. "I think on burgers, we're very well developed. But chicken and coffee, in particular, offer us, I think, a good growth opportunity. And we're going to be focused on that with some very specific product."

McDonald's rebranded its crispy chicken sandwich to the "McCrispy" last month, while introducing two limited-time offers to its chicken sandwich lineup, the Bacon Ranch McCrispy and Bacon Ranch deluxe McCrispy.

McDonald's McCafé coffee and bakery menu has itself seen a plethora of additions - both permanent and temporary - ever since the company brought it back in 2017 with new espresso offerings. In 2020, McDonald's added apple fritters, blueberry muffins and cinnamon rolls to its McCafé menu. Last September, it brought back cheese danishes in the US for a limited time.

More recently, the chain has added four new McCafé menu options in Australia, including a banana and blueberry loaf, according to the Daily Mail. McDonald's also entered a partnership with Oatly in Austria in March to bring oat milk to its McCafé menu in the country for the first time.

McDonald's reported 12% global comparable-store sales growth in the fourth quarter, compared with 5% growth for Starbucks. McDonald's also reported a 5% increase in traffic for 2022, while Starbucks' foot traffic dropped 2% for the quarter ending January 1.

Starbucks is arguably McDonald's biggest competitor on breakfast, snacks, and coffee.

SEATTLE - Consumer Reports has declared McDonald's coffee the winner of a taste test against three rivals, including coffeehouse giant Starbucks.

After sampling four leading brewed coffees for its March issue, the magazine said McDonald's premium roast coffee bested competing cups from Burger King, Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks, the world's largest specialty coffee retailer.

The tastings were led by a professional tester, and included staffers from Consumer Reports' food-testing division, spokeswoman Heather Joy Thompson said.

The group tasted medium cups of coffee - no cream or sugar - at two locations from each company in November. They rated McDonald's premium brand the best, calling it "decent and moderately strong" although lacking "subtle top notes."

Others didn't fare so well. Dunkin Donuts' coffee was deemed "inoffensive, but it had no oomph." Starbucks was labeled "strong, but burnt and bitter." Burger King's offering resembled coffee, "but tasted more like hot water," the magazine said.

Consumer Reports said McDonald's was the least expensive, at $1.40 per cup on average. Dunkin' Donuts was the priciest, at $1.65.

In response, Starbucks spokeswoman Sanja Gould said taste is subjective and pointed to the Seattle-based company's sales.

"The 44 million customer visits to our stores per week globally indicate that many people enjoy our premium coffee," Gould said in a statement.

Next time you head out for a coffee run, the Twitterverse would like you to consider McDonald's.

The fast-food chain likely isn't the first place customers associate with a caffeine fix, but the golden arches are serving up two new coffee drinks the Internet can't seem to get enough of: Cold Brew Frozen Coffee and Cold Brew Frappe.

The frozen coffee version is "a strong but smooth cold brew extract blended with ice into a cold, creamy frozen drink" and the frappe is the same, but comes with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle on top, per a press release.

According to Food Beast, the ingredients in McDonald's cold brew include: ice, cream, skim milk, sugar, cold brew coffee extract (water and cold brew coffee), water, caramel color, dipotassium phosphate, guar gum, mono and diglycerides, tripotassium citrate, disodium phosphate, and carrageenan.

While the list of extra ingredients might deter some die-hard coffee fanatics, others can't help but take note of the low cost. Both options are priced at only $2, which pales in comparison to some other major coffee chains.

Another, meanwhile, likened the taste of the drinks to the "coffee candies" she loved in her youth, so just a heads up for those who don't take sugar in their cold brew: They might not be everybody's cup of tea.

Starbucks is set to cut about 30% of its menu offerings by the end of 2025, aiming to streamline its menu and address declining sales. The move comes from CEO Brian Niccol’s “Back to Starbucks” plan to revamp the brand. The coffee giant also introduced ceramic mugs, free refills, and a return of the condiment bar. Starbucks is also pushing for quicker service with a 4-minute drink delivery goal, which includes new machines, digital menus, and enhanced mobile ordering. Starbucks has been struggling with a 4% drop in sales in the U.S. and globally, marking its fourth consecutive quarter of decline.

Our group agrees that McDonald’s coffee is giving Starbucks a run for its money due to a combination of consumer preference, affordability, and market shifts. A Consumer Reports blind taste test revealed that McDonald’s coffee rivals or even surpasses Starbucks in quality, challenging its premium coffee reputation. Additionally, Starbucks has faced a recent decline in sales, leading them to streamline their menu, which indicates shifting consumer preferences. McDonald’s, on the other hand, has capitalized on this with the attached articles praising its coffee’s taste and affordability, positioning itself as a strong competitor in the coffee market. The combination of quality, price, and brand accessibility makes McDonald’s an appealing alternative to Starbucks for many customers.
