If the coffee is fresh, then it tastes the same, but there is no way of knowing that in advance. For those who have never heard of self-serve T.H. coffee: Esso Service Stations use T.H. coffee/equipment/cups.

You have a Tim's that is self serve? That's just not right! Switch to Second Cup or Starbucks immediately!

I have never been to a Tims where you do it yourself except when I ask for the cream & sugar on the side for someone else. Is that what you mean? Maybe you don't put in as much as the employee does why it doesn't taste the same. I buy the big tin of coffee and although it's the same coffee, my cream is different and I'm sure I don't put in as much sugar as I see them do when I get mine at the drive through so mine does taste different. It's like going into McDonalds, getting a Big Mac and trying to do it yourself it will taste different

Tim Hortons has a >>>>>rule<<<<< that the pot of coffee has to be poured out after 20 minutes regardless of how much coffee is left in the pot. Thus they manage to serve fresh coffee to every customer.

This isn't too bad for them as they start making a profit after the first cup of coffee.

This may be the reason why Tim's doesn't taste the same at home.

I've never seen a Tim Horton's where you can make it yourself so I don't know what they're policy is on emptying the coffee. If it's coffee that they've put in a large canister that you then use, I would suggest that they probably let it sit there for more than 20 minutes.

I'm sorry I don't understand your question.

They do not sell you the same coffee grounds that they use.

I know what you mean Steph ..I always sit and wonder why a Dunkin donut tastes so different to any other donut ive tried .I guess I have to get all weird and spiritual on you in order to get my answer accross .
I am convinced there is a spiritual dimension to food . Food is often at the centre of reigious festivals even sacrificial offerings to strange Gods are eaten afterwards. the bible has a number of accounts of food being rejected because it was offerred to idols ? why ? Food is food and your prayers are words why do they have any association ? I had a girlfriend who refused to cook until I had put her into a good mood and swore blind it tasted better if she was in a good mood ! lenny henry the famous British comedian said one of the reasons he married his wife was that her simple breakfast tasted the best ever ! It was just eggs and bacon and he got married to her on the strength of that !
So i guess you have to draw a parrallel between food and spirit ?
Perhaps its got something to do with belief ..the bible says all things are possible to him who believes ...or as a man thinketh so he is ...perhaps some people's food tastes better because they believe it will ? Or perhaps because like music from the soul we produce or create food from the soul too , its a creation with our own hall mark on it ..why does no one make your favourite dish like your mom ?
Well thats my best attempt ..good luck !
