"At Sonic, the standard black coffee is so weak it tastes like you're drinking hot water out of a cup that had coffee in it before and wasn't washed. It's all weak until the aftertaste, which is bitter, and not in the pleasantly balanced way a nice roasty, full-bodied cup of joe should be. Sonic sources its coffee from Green Mountain Coffee, a reputable and reliable brand, so it's unclear what's happening to the java at the fast-food chain's locations."
"Apparently, one of Sonic's problems with coffee is inconsistency, and this counts for the chain's iced version, too. "I get it five times a week before work and it is wildly different every time," says one Reddit user on a thread about Sonic coffee. "Sometimes it is creamy and delicious and other times it is watery undrinkable garbage." Another commenter agrees, saying, it's "hardly coffee at all...people may be inconsistent with the measurements, making it bad at times.""
Sonic's basic hot coffee is weak, watery, and finishes with a bitter aftertaste rather than a balanced roasty flavor. The chain sources coffee from Green Mountain Coffee, but preparation and flavor vary widely between locations. Customers report receiving creamy and enjoyable cups some days and watery, undrinkable coffee other days. The iced coffee shares the same inconsistency. Available customization for the brewed coffee is limited to vanilla flavoring, cream, and sugar. These options do little to salvage the thin brew. Compared with other fast-food chains, Sonic's coffee ranks near the bottom.
