Why did McDonald’s stop selling espresso?
That’s because its espresso machines have been temporarily disabled due to a safety issue, our sister station WSB-TV reported. Melitta, the manufacturer of the $3,000 espresso machines, informed customers of a problem with the equipment. It forced McDonald’s to temporarily decommission them while the issue is resolved. McDonald’s has temporarily stopped selling espresso drinks at some US locations. Some McDonald’s locations aren’t serving espresso-based drinks. A machine is giving McDonald’s a headache, and this time it’s not the one that makes ice cream.McDonald’s is ending free drink refills and phasing out self-serve soda machines by 2032, with some locations already charging for refills. This decision is part of a trend among fast-food chains to reduce costs and streamline operations.
How strong is McDonald’s espresso?
At shot of espresso at McDonald’s has a caffeine content of about 71 mg, while their decaf contains 8 – 14 mg depending on the size of serving. Regarding fluid ounces alone, it would take about eight espresso shots to fill a coffee cup. However, we strongly advise against drinking that much espresso. The per-ounce caffeine concentration of espresso (63 mg) is far higher than drip coffee (about 12 mg per fluid ounce).A single 1-ounce (30 ml) shot of espresso contains approximately 63 milligrams of caffeine. It might be small, but it’s mighty. While a single shot has less total caffeine than a full 8-ounce (240 ml) cup of drip coffee, espresso is significantly more concentrated.
