McDonald's Coffee Tops Starbucks in Taste Test (Update1) 2007-02-02 09:27 (New York) (Adds McDonald's, Starbucks shares in fourth paragraph.) By Chris Burritt Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- McDonald's Corp.'s new coffee tastes better and costs less than brew from Starbucks Corp., Burger King Holdings Inc. and Dunkin' Donuts Inc., Consumer Reports magazine said. ``We compared the rivals with Starbucks, all in basic black -- no flavors, milk, or sugar -- and you know what? McDonald's beat the rest,'' Consumer Reports said in its March issue. Consumer Reports' ``trained tasters'' visited two stores of each company, the magazine said. Shares of McDonald's rose 13 cents yesterday to $44.48 yesterday in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. Starbucks declined 53 cents to $34.41 in Nasdaq Stock Market composite trading. --Editor: Nol. Story illustration: See {MCD US <Equity> ERN <GO>} for McDonald's earnings history.
