It ain't Intelligentsia, but it's free
McDonald's is giving away free coffees on Mondays from now through Aug. 3. The details: You can get one free 8-ounce mocha, hot or iced, anytime from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. That's mochas only.
Obviously, McDonald's is not a high-end coffee provider, but it's come a long way since its scalding days of 180-degree cups of joe. Its new premium coffee even won a Consumer Reports taste test in 2007, beating out other fast-coffee vendors Dunkin' Donuts, Burger King and Starbucks.
Sure, you could probably get exceedingly delicious boutique coffee at Intelligensia or maybe even Coffee Bean. But it'll cost you. And who wouldn't use a little free caffeine on Monday?
