It's good coffee and wakes me up in the morning but it doesn't taste like the coffee you get at the McDonald's restaurant

No Tassimo, Keurig or brewed coffee will ever really taste as good as it does at the restaurant, but for me, the Tassimo McCafe is pretty darned close. I love this coffee. It is not too strong, nor is it watered down. I always have my McCafe T-Discs on hand so I can enjoy a cup when the mood strikes!
