McDonald's Temporarily Halts Espresso Drinks Over Safety Concerns

The fast-food chain has decommissioned espresso machines at some US locations due to a potential safety issue identified by the manufacturer.

McDonald's has stopped serving espresso-based drinks at select US locations after Melitta, the machine manufacturer, flagged a safety issue.
The exact nature of the safety problem with the CT8 Espresso Machines has not been disclosed, but an investigation is underway.
Affected menu items include lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos, though regular coffee drinks remain available.
The disruption comes as McDonald's is recovering from an E. coli outbreak linked to onions, which impacted sales and customer visits.
McDonald's sells nearly 8 million coffee drinks daily, making coffee a significant part of its business strategy.
