A good cup of coffee is essential for many Colorado residents. I always start my day by filling up my coffee tumbler at home before I come to work.

I have been on a bit of a health kick lately and I drink my coffee black. I have learned to really admire the taste of black coffee.

You can truly taste and feel the difference when your coffee isn't smothered with creamer.

However, some mornings, I am in a rush and do not have time to make an entire pot of coffee before I leave my house.

I either go to Starbucks or Windsor Lake Coffee when I am on the way to work. I love Windsor Lake Coffee since it is so close to work.

I also love their medium-roast black coffee.

There is another place to get coffee on my way to work that was recently rated the worst place to get coffee in Colorado. Let's find out who it is.

Worst Coffee Chain in Colorado Revealed

TCMA recently ranked the seven worst coffee chains in America. We were surprised to see that Starbucks was on the ranking. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Starbucks recently took 13 drinks off their menu.

Starbucks is not the worst chain to get coffee from.

TCMA decided that McDonalds' is the worst place in Colorado to get a cup of coffee. I've had McDonald's coffee plenty of times and I have never had issues.

Why Colorado McDonald's Ranked Poorly

Apparently, the issue has to do with how often the coffee machines are cleaned. Here is what TCMA said.

Coffee from McDonald’s barely gets the job done if full and flavorful are your priorities. But more importantly, you may want to beware of the McCafe coffee machine’s level of cleanliness.

We are sure that some McDonald's locations are better than others when it comes to overall cleanliness.

Nasty 1-Star Google Reviews of Colorado's Nastiest Coffee Shops

Did you know that 91% of Americans buy coffee at a coffee shop at least once per week? Were you aware that 37% of Americans purchase coffee at restaurants or coffee shops four days a week or more? That info comes from a May 29, 2023 report from Craft Coffee Spot.

In my experience, coffee is like pizza, sex, and Star Trek in that even when it's bad, it's still pretty good. As a matter of fact, it's hard to recall the last time I had a bad cup of coffee at a shop or restaurant.

Judging by reviews posted on Google, evidence exists indicating some shops have been known to serve less-than-exquisite coffee. In some instances, the coffee was fine, but the staff was rude.

Some Google reviews were bitter (pun intended) while others were flat-out ridiculous. For your daily laugh, here's a look at some nastilicious 1-star Google Reviews of Colorado coffee houses. Keep in mind, most of these reviews are absolutely absurd, and this is all in fun.
