In my 14 years living in Korea I’ve heard so many times from other Canadians about how much they miss Tim Horton’s coffee. I understand about comfort food when living abroad, I have some of my own – A&W Root Beer ranks pretty high on my list. However I didn’t remember Tim Horton’s coffee being any thing outstanding though by the amount praise it gets from expats here one would think that it is larger than life and the greatest thing since sliced bread.
While I was inOttawa just over a weak ago I had some Tim Horton’s Coffee. I actually didn’t have any until my second or third day as I was always closer to a Starbucks or Second Cup – both of which offer free wifi (important for tourists/travelers like me without smart phones). In any case I was in a mall for a while and decided to give it a shot and when I walked into the store I almost turned around right away due to seeing pots of coffee sitting on the element (burning the coffee) rather than in a thermos, like most other coffee shops do, keeping the coffee hot without burning it.
In any case I decided to give it a shot. I was not wrong. The coffee tasted how I imagine warm camel piss would taste. Unfortunately over the next several days driving on the highway I did not have much choice other than to drink Tim Horton’s coffee. On my last day in Canada I was sitting in a Tim’s with a friend in Toronto waiting for someone else when my friend bought me one of their frozen coffee concoctions which was really really good. Unfortunately I can’t remember the name of it.
My final thoughts. If you like coffee, there is no way on earth that you can say Tim Horton’s coffee is any good. The food may be good, but the coffee tastes like warm camel piss.

“The coffee tasted how I imagine warm camel piss would taste. Unfortunately over the next several days driving on the highway I did not have much choice other than to drink Tim Horton’s coffee.”
So let me get this straight. After tasting it and deeming it the equivalent of camel piss, you then proceeded to continue drinking it for days because you didn’t have much choice? Yikes!!!
