Dudeall I'm saying is McD's is good at what they do. Isn't that like saying that Bud makes the best piss-water beer on the planet or that Kraft makes the best Cheese-whiz in a can? Yes that's exactly what I'm saying. I'm not telling people to eat McD's or drink icky beer...all I'm saying is they are good at what they do even though you may not like what they do.

Steak N Shake does the same thing. You calibrate the fountain heads daily, using a little kit that Coke supplies to check the throw of each beverage mix. If it's off, you have to adjust it until it's right, then the offending head has to be checked again at the next shift change to make sure it's not screwed up.

Re: [MBZ] Coffee is hot (was: Re: Stella Awards)
The process is called brixing and the cup is a brix cup. You remove the mix head hold the cup under the dispenser dispense some soda. The cup is split in 2 chambers, sized for a 20/80 mix (20% syrup, 80% water). Syrup dispenses in one while carbonated water dispenses in the other. If the two fill to the exact same level, the mix is right. A properly setup soda machine only needs to be brixed once then verified once a month should rarely need adjusting. If it needs contunuous calibration then they have issues with their carbonator pump or CO2 pressure running their BIB pumps.

Re: [MBZ] Coffee is hot (was: Re: Stella Awards)
and it makes a huge difference. a lot of times i want the drink right and in those cases i can't go anywhere near most fast food places. even though i'd rather go to popeyes for chicken, mcdonald's is the only place i can be confident the drinks will be right. being a pepsi place is also an automatic disqualification. if your diet coke is caffeine free, you are done in my book. which is why mcdonald's probably tried to get the coffee right, as there are likely man people who will accept mediocre food as the cost of fast food but cannot live with crappy drink.
