Gaviña is the coffee supplier for McDonald's, and they use a blend of arabica coffee beans grown in Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, and Costa Rica.
Everything you need for a delicious cup at home. Good is brewing with the rich aroma and delicious taste of our 100% Arabica coffee, available in K-Cup® pods, bags and cans in a variety of blends.
DDB Sydney and McCafe, McDonald's coffee line, decided that it was time to give Australians a national coffee concoction of their own. It has unveiled the Australiano, a recipe including the flavors of chai, native Australian wattleseed and locally-sourced coffee.
Manufactured and distributed in partnership with Kraft Foods, the coffee is available in prepackaged bags and K-Cups. In December 2015, McDonald's Canada opened its first standalone McCafe store in Toronto Union Station's newly built York concourse area.
Globally, McCafé's® product line consists of mocha, cappuccino, espresso, Americano, latte, iced latte, iced mocha and hot chocolate, hot and iced teas, iced frappés, real fruit smoothies besides a wide range of pastries and muffins.
Although McCafé is a part of McDonald's chain, it operates as a separate branch and independent brand. The company is relatively new if compared with other popular chains like Starbucks, Costa Coffee or Tim Horton's.
Yes! I recently discovered that both Starbucks and McDonalds serve 100% arabica beans, and we get our beans from the same sellers. However the way we grind and processes our beans is different.
It's not the same as you would find at expensive restaurants, but the fast-food giant uses quality beans, although they aren't packaged ideally. Since McDonald's has so many customers, they move through coffee beans quickly, so nothing sits on the shelf for long.
McDonald's coffee is brewed from 100% arabica, medium roasted, beans. McDonald's coffee quality is as high as it is because of that one fact. Arabica coffee is the most popular type of coffee because it is so much milder than Robusta coffee, lacking that acidic aftertaste you will find with Robusta beans.
INGREDIENTS: COFFEE (WATER, COFFEE), MILK, SUGAR, SODIUM BICARBONATE, NATURAL FLAVORS, CARRAGEENAN.
Designed to be a brew that Aussie coffee lovers can proudly put their name to, the all-new “Australiano” coffee is described as “a perfect blend of McCafé coffee mixed with Chai and Native Australian Wattleseed”.
Our coffee is bought in green bean form and shipped to our supplier's roasting site, where they are blended in batches and specially packaged to keep the roasted beans nice and fresh.
The Most Popular Coffee in Australia
While the latte is officially the best-seller across the country, folks in Melbourne and the surrounding state of Victoria prefer cappuccinos. Across Western Australia and Queensland, the flat white reigns supreme.
Each box contains enough coffee to fill 12 – 8oz. coffee cups and is insulated so the coffee will stay warm for quite a while. If you order a setup from your local McDonald's it will come with a box of coffee for 12; 12 cups, 12 lids, creamer, sugar, equal and stir sticks for right around $10!
We're serious about our coffee
We know coffee is a serious business – from how it tastes to how it's grown. That's why every freshly-ground McCafé® coffee uses 100% Arabica beans grown on Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms*.

McDonald's uses a medium-roasted blend rather than dark-roasted coffee. The lighter roast brings out the coffee's nutty, chocolaty undertones without causing excessive bitterness or a burnt flavor.
How often do the machines that make the McCafe drinks get cleaned? Hello! Our McCafé machines are pretty high-tech. They perform a required self-cleaning process frequently throughout the day.
Officially ending in August 2022, the golden arches chain said in a release that it “will begin to transition to hot beverage cups without McCafé® Rewards stickers and cards.” Yup, that means you will no longer be able to collect stickers from the cups and trade them in for a free beverage.
Although their process is different, the end product (gourmet coffee) is similar. Choosing between McDonald's and Starbucks cannot be determined by quality. They both boast high-quality products.

The secret: Order a medium sugar-free French vanilla iced coffee, then ask them to add caramel sauce. “It literally tastes the same and it's $1.80,” the TikToker explains. Prices vary based on where you live, but for comparison, a grande iced white mocha costs around $4.50 at Starbucks.
