McDonald's pulls espresso drinks from some U.S. menus

McDonald's customers may have to go elsewhere for now if they have a yen for frothy caffeinated drinks.

Melitta, the maker of the $3,000 machines used at many of McDonald's U.S. locations, recommended a temporary stop to their use to "proactively ensure safety," the company said Wednesday in an emailed statement.

 "We are investigating the two impacted machines. Our intent is to determine the root cause and provide a remediation plan that allows us to move forward," Melitta said in the statement.
