Freighter Coffee?

Does your carrier put Coffee makers in the freighters? Making the switch to Cargo and was just thinking about the little luxuries I use to have. Ice water from the galley, hot coffee etc.

In general long haul will be well catered and have lots of coffee. But there are some exceptions.

In the case of Atlas there are coffee makers, a galley with oven and hot meals. Self serve of course.

FedEx has the World's Largest Fleet of Coffee Thermos Jugs.
Some of our aircraft have coffee makers... a lot (most?) don't.

Yea, and this does not guarantee the coffee is always "HOT" .................. many a trip with COLD COFFEE onboard, the thermos jugs are a good effort but ........................

It's brown and usually hot-ish. But, coffee...? That might be a stretch.

That's pure, unadulterated bullsh!t....But only after carrying bulls. Seriously TD, you might think about another job, because either you're concentrating on the wrong things, or your expectations might be a bit too high for the lowly life of a freight dog.

Our freighters are very well catered. Coffee in abundance along with all the cokes and diet cokes you could want. The difference in taste between diet cokes is astounding!
We get all sorts of Gucci coffee from remote areas of the earth. Lifes good on a freighter.!
