McDonald’s secret exposed after staff showed how to make a popular drink

Did you know some people only go to McDonald's for their sweet, delicious coffee? There's nothing like taking a sip of an iced coffee on a hot, summer day, is there?

But, have you ever wondered how Macca’s iced mocha is made?



Yanii, a McDonald’s worker, detailed how she made iced mocha in a TikTok video that has been viewed almost 70,000 times. In the clip, she showed customers the order in which she combined coffee, ice, milk, and hot chocolate for customers.

However, coffee lovers were left in shock after getting distracted by another detail in the footage.

In the clip, Yanii started filling the plastic cup with ice and added three pumps of mocha to the small-sized cup.

Then, she placed the cup under a machine before explaining which buttons needed to be pressed.

You can watch Yanii’s video below and try to spot the ‘secret’ yourself:





As the machine pours together the mocha (which Yanii jokingly pronounces as ‘mo-qay’ for some reason) and mixes together the rest of the ingredients with a spoon, viewers spotted the very crusty nozzle on the machine.

After that, Yanii topped the drink off with whipped cream and a mocha drizzle.

Viewers couldn’t care less about the drink and focused more on why she was weirdly pronouncing ‘mocha’, why she sounded like she was ‘crying’ and why the nozzle of the machine looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. A lot was going on in the video for viewers to take in, it seems.

‘The dirt crust on the machine! Help!’ One cried out.



Another agreed that what they were more concerned about was the crust around the coffee machine.

‘I’m surprised that machine is even running. Looks clogged,’ someone declared.

One Starbucks barista was appalled at how McDonald’s was their number 1 competitor in the coffee market, and yet the beverages were not even hand-crafted.

If this turns you off Macca’s iced coffee, you can always make (an even better) one at home! Here’s what you need for an iced mocha:
  • 1 Cup Hot Brewed Coffee or 1-2 Shots of Espresso
  • 2 Tbsp Chocolate Sauce
  • Ice
  • Milk
  • Whipped Cream (Optional)
To make the beverage:
  • Stir in 2 Tbsp of chocolate sauce into the 1 cup of hot coffee or espresso.
  • Pour the coffee over a cup full of ice, then top it off with milk.
  • Stir this together and add whipped cream and chocolate drizzle.
Or you can watch the video below and learn how to make an iced mocha in 3 different ways!




Key Takeaways

  • A McDonald’s worker, Yanii, detailed how she makes a popular drink in a video that has been viewed almost 70,000 times.
  • Making the drink was a simple process, with Yanii filling the cup with ice and adding three pumps of mocha before pressing a few buttons on the machine and stirring it with a metal spoon.
  • People noticed something else, however: the filth around the coffee machine.
There you have it, folks! What can you say about this? Let us know in the comments!

Never had one but it sounds revolting and one look at that machine tells me I'm not going to have one any time soon either. ;)

I agree what is about the Crust on the machine we have a coffee machine at home and it never looks like that. I will not be buying coffee from MacDonalds

No wonder I never go to a Maccas, that is disgusting and would put me off coffee for quite a while. A quick wipe after each drink would lessen the mess, maybe get rid of it.
