Tim Hortons

Coffee Lovers Dept: ANCASTER, Ont. -- Coffee lovers are all too familiar with that satisfying moment -- the first sip of a freshly brewed cup -- but for the lead coffee taster at Tim Hortons, that borderline euphoric sensation has become a lifestyle, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Every day he pours a seemingly endless stream of coffee made with beans from around the world. The goal is to ensure that the quality of each is up to expectations, and altogether he estimates that he tastes about 75,000 cups each year and kevin West, Tim Hortons' director of coffee operations, samples the flavour of beans imported from countries around the world. Kevin West leads a team responsible for maintaining the trademark flavour of Tim Hortons' coffee, a process engineered from the company's facility on the outskirts of Hamilton.
