Regionally Inspired QSR Coffees

The McDonald's Australia Australiano Has a Distinct Flavor

— July 18, 2022 — Lifestyle
The McDonald's Australia Australiano is a new coffee from the QSR brand specifically crafted for the Australian market to offer patrons a regionally inspired way to boost their energy.

The coffee crafted with a blend of espresso and steamed milk, and is paired with chai tea powder along with native Australian wattleseed. These ingredients combine to give the coffee a distinctive flavor profile and helps to set it apart from the other options available on the McCafe menu.

The McDonald's Australia Australiano coffee is reported to have chocolaty, nutty flavors thanks to the Australian wattleseed in the recipe, and is thus well-suited for enjoyment alongside the brand's baked goods. The drink is being touted as "Coffee Fit for an Aussie" to help drive home the regionally inspired nature of the beverage.
