The machines grind the bean, tamp the espresso, then pull the shot for the the "Barista" then an automated wand steam the milk for them (normally steamed over and over again) and then they will attempt to create something that resembles a real late' or cappuccino. I do not know about McD's or dunkin donuts, the ones near me do not have espresso machines which I have noticed. For drip coffee, if you like burnt beans robbed of their highlights and undertones. If you like stale coffee which has sat in a warehouse waiting to be shipped, then by all means indulge in the Big Green Monster. But, if you want a real cup of coffee or a coffee drink go support your local independent coffee shop and bask in the glory of all that is real, quality coffee.

If they switched - it would kill their business.

McD's has fake lattes and espresso. McD's uses a toially different proccess and some of their lattes aren't even real lattes, they are a powdered sugar concopction like you can get a vending machine, but they add whipped cream. Dunkin and Bux use real espresso beans and hot water and steamed milk. Some Bux use older hand pull machines, but mose use the automatice espresso machines like Dunkin does for speed and consistency.

It's not even in the same universe!
