Chill in the air, sun rising, cobbler and coffee on the campfire....
Definitely NOT Starbucks.
The best coffee is usually at the mom-n-pop independent roaster popping up all over our country these days.

The best coffee is the first cup of the day.
Soon after this commercial, Jaun began growing opium poppies and never nurtured another coffee cherry in his entire life.
I’ll find out in May..... Going to Rome
I still prefer fresh ground Eight O'Clock in my own kitchen first thing in the morning. Haven't found anything better.
Italy They drink small cups of great coffee. It’s all about the quality, and errr cup size is not important.
Rule of Thumb - you will normally find the “best” cup of coffee at a speciality coffee shop or neighborhood roaster. This is their livelihood.
Quality of the outlets you mentioned vary considerably due to the specific coffee programs and emphasis the ownership or franchise places on their coffee program.
Wawa (not WaWa) places their coffee program as a point of differentiation over other c-store chains. Their coffee program tends to be one of the better c-store programs. Southland (7-Eleven) program is more cost driven and less consistent among their stores.
MCD has a good quality (McCafe) program if the individual franchisee runs the program properly. BK has an extremely poor program.
Diners - in the NYC/Phila area tend to use average to below average (Greek mafia) coffee. Make sure they replace the pots every 30 minutes (if on a burner). I love when they take the last third of a burnt pot and top off the fresh pot being brewed.

I like my Jura Z7, and high-quality beans from a trusted and reliable roaster. As a result, I can enjoy coffees better than any I have had anywhere in the United States from any commercial source.
