McCafé coffee beverage

McCafé is a coffee-house-style food and beverage chain, owned by McDonald's. Created and launched in Melbourne, Australia, in 1993, the brand has since expanded globally, offering a variety of espresso-based drinks, brewed coffee, and pastries.

The coffee beans used in McCafé beverages are sourced from various regions including Central and South America, as well as parts of Asia and Africa. The final beverage preparation occurs locally at McDonald's franchise locations worldwide, while the roasting and packaging of the beans are handled by several international suppliers under contract for McDonald's Corporation.

McDonald's Corporation remains the ultimate owner of the McCafé brand. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the company operates via a massive global franchise network. In some markets, particularly in grocery retail, the brand is distributed under licensing agreements with third-party coffee companies like Keurig Dr Pepper or Mother Parkers, depending on the specific product line and region.
