McDonald's tests specialty coffee waters
They are the sights and sounds you'd associate with a coffee shop. Milk is frothing, whipped cream is spraying, and those sounds can now be heard in McDonald's.
"We have a special machine that grinds the beans, mixes everything together for us and it comes out in like 30-40 seconds," says Richard Guon. He is a local owner/operator and the President of Rochester McDonald's Co-op.
Specialty coffees will be whipped up in all the Rochester area stores by the end of the week. It's a test for the chain that will help determine whether specialty coffees should go nationwide.
"There's a couple of markets testing it in the country and Rochester is representing the northeastern markets. One of the other things is we have a lot of good operators here, good crew people, good managers, and they know they're going to get good results from the test", says Guon.
All 46 restaurants in the Rochester area will have the specialty coffees by the end of the week. Rochester is one of six test areas nationwide.  www.wroctv.com
