As far as airplane coffee goes. I thought the only options were hot/bitter and cold/bitter. Until a senior FA poured bottled water into the coffee pot, left it on the hot plate for an hour and poured it by hand through the filter into another pot. Best airplane coffee ever. Some of the ladies really do care.
