There’s nothing average about the joe they serve up at McDonald’s.

The Golden Arches beat out java giants Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts, along with Burger King, in a coffee taste test run by Consumer Reports magazine.

The magazine proclaimed McDonald’s Premium Roast Coffee had “no flaws” - and was easiest on the wallet as well.

“Try McDonald’s, which was cheapest and best,” Consumer Reports said in its March issue. “Or make your own coffee.”

Out of the four restaurants tested, McDonald’s cost the least, just $1.35.

It “was decent and moderately strong,” the magazine said. “Although it lacked the top notes needed to make it rise and shine.”

Even though Dunkin’ Donuts stakes its reputation on its java - “America runs on Dunkin”‘ is the advertising refrain - its $1.65 cup failed to measure up.

“It was inoffensive, but it had no oomph,” the report said. “Weak, watery and pricier.”

    Please reissue your Dunkin Donuts gift certificates. I usually buy $100 worth at a time and give them as “thank you’s” to the people who work at Stop ‘n Shop - the cashiers, baggers, meat department personnel, etc., all who are so nice to customers. I’ve been trying to buy them every time I go there and they don’t have them. My Dunkin Donuts franchisees are in Trumbull, CT and Milford, CT. Please help!!!
