I'd love to see the pics. I don't know, either, why they wouldn't let people know that. *I* didn't know that, and I was the barista at our local McD's for a short period of time. They had this lovely little saying "It's all about the bean" - so you would think they would go a little further, especially since apparently the bean really is all that! :) Do it!

I just can't figure out why they wouldnt let people know that they were using such a great coffee?

But I advise just getting a shot. The drinks themselves are made for the most part by people who don't understand espresso, or gourmet coffee drinks. At one point, they decided to have someone dedicated and trained to only do the coffee drinks, but it wasn't cost effective. Thusly, nasty mochas, lattes that are way to sweet, and inconsistancies in the strength of them, (because the machines are automated, but become uncalibrated VERY quickly so you might get a drink that quickly becomes half a cup of latte because it was made too frothy) All that to say, a straight espresso shot, add your own cream is yummy. :) The rest? It's a crap shoot. Well, then. :) Go ahead and try it. But I advise just getting a shot.

When I read about where they get their coffee beans, I was surprised too, not just because it's eco-friendly/fair trade but also because they don't advertise that at all.
