McDonalds free coffee mug when choosing large coffee with breakfast meal

On page 6 of the Metro London edition there is a whole page advert by McDonalds about getting a free coffee mug when choosing a large coffee with a breakfast meal before 10.30 am. In participating restaurants, limited time only. Subject to availability, excludes all drinks except coffee. The mugs on the picture are quite large, with purple, green or orange modern patterns on them.

    The only problem is I hate McD's coffee, its foul, always tastes burnt.

    My problem's even more serious - I hate anything to do with the company!

    In the West Midlansd metro too.

    How much is the large coffee? Would the mug still be a bargain? They look good! :j

    Their normal coffee is awful, but the latte is, in my opinion, not the worst - it actually tastes like coffee and stronger than the warm milk of starbucks but still milky in taste and not full of froth. I usually grab a latte from Pret (also a McD's interest!) if you want to compare...
    The thanks button is here to the right. If you find a post saves you money, gives you useful information, or you agree with it, take a second to thank the poster! :)

    thanks! Do you know if you need the coupon? Or can you just go in and ask for one with the food?

    No I don't think so, it doesn't say "Present this voucher" or anything similar anywhere on the page. I think it is more like an ad.
