Canada....what a place!

[Darkchild80 0]

Just got in from Canada...

I went to visit my family (Niagara Falls, USA) and my sweetheart in Hamilton. Wow, I really enjoyed myself! Anyways, I love Tim Hortons! I had to get a Extra Large French vanilla cap.

Tim Hortons has trickled it's way to Can/Am border but I would love to drink Tim Horton down in Georgia!

Krispy Kreme's coffee is not as good as Tim Horton!

Just giving Canada some props!!!! lol

Lol... My honey loves the iced capp's... on a birthday card while he was in Korea he drew a picture of the timmy's logo for me from the cocoa container I had sent him... Timmy's is the best too bad Wendy's bought out the company. It did wonders for their profit... but now its no longer entirely Canadian.

The only way we can drink Timmy's here in Georgia is to buy it online or have a mother in law who will ship it to you occasionally (like mine does ). Maybe one day in the not so distant future the South will go where no man has gone before.....to our local Timmy's!

Hey, I can dream, right?

[Peggy 1]

Yes, you can dream Karen

My hubby didnt like Tim Hortons Coffee. Maybe it was the 7 packs of sugar he put in it

I still say Wawa is better(Philadelphia area) than Tim's. Now I may be biased because that's what I'm used to and what I like. However, my fiancee's parents and grandparent's liked the Wawa coffee I brought with me more than Tim's.

Well, I would love to have Timmie's here in Georgia too. Another VJer who used to live in my hometown so kindly sent me a can of Tim Horton's coffee last fall when she went home for a visit - it was WONDERFUL! Although, come to think of it, the US Tim Horton's (Michigan, anyway) was not nearly as good as the ones just the other side of the border. I sure hope that was just an abberation! Dunkin' Donut coffee - vanilla flavoured - is what I make do with here . . . not the same but not nearly as harsh as most US coffee. Even the coffee I make at home isn't as mellow as Timmie's unless, of course, it is Timmie's. I am hoping my Dad will take pity and send me some soon - I've asked him, but he keeps forgetting:-).

My better half and I were up at Potomac Mills area and they had a WAWA, so I had to stop in and try their "coffee." One walks in and it appears like any other gas stn that has a convenience store. Walk to the rear where they have about 15 flasks of coffee brewing!! So I choose the WAWA house blend, and really not expecting much!! The results were better than expected, BUT still not near as good as Timmies. One item that may have lead to WAWA subpar coffee (relating to Timmies) is that it had probably been sitting on the burner since Kim Cambell was Prime Minister of Canada (longer than 20 minutes ago for u young folk)!! The employees at Wawa did not have the love of coffee that Timmies employees show. But I must admit for gas station coffee it was good, but doesnt comapre to Tims, or even Dunkins!! June can't come fast enough!!

My extended family in USA is also crazy about Timmys the only thing they want from Canada is tons of coffee from Tims!

My USA relatives who have tried Timmies up in RI, don't care much for it, most likley because they do not drink coffee, so they do not understand my addiction,lol

US Timmies is different because they use 14% cream in Canada and only half/half here...

It makes a big difference in taste...

I don't know why, but my fiancee never jumped on the whole "Tim Horton's is great" bandwagon. She thinks they're okay, but if she goes out for coffee, it'll generally be at a Second Cup or perhaps a Starbucks (usually the former though, if all possible).

Me, I've never had coffee from Tim Horton's, so...I don't know what it tastes like and how it might differ (if at all) from Starbucks. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, so maybe I wouldn't notice the nuances.

[Flames9_RN 358]

I thought it was 18% cream in Canada!! Yep it does make a huge difference

I don't really miss Timmy's much .. my taste in coffee is espresso .. italian and only one brand ( LavAzza ) yummmmmmmmm !!!!! But i feel the pain of missing the coffee you love .. i went from mid Oct. untill Feb. desperatly trying to find some decent espresso and finally finally i found it in a small italian market !! a little bit of home .. with a huge price tag 5.99 for 250g But it's worth every cent !

When I was with the Cdn Airforce, Spent 3 weeks in Sigonella Italy. On the base they had a smal llittle hut that served the best latte's. We would arrive early for our flights, just to grab a coffee.
