Does this thread mean I'm going to start seeing coffee grounds all over the center console now too?

the $1 cup over at the new gates (92-98) is tiny. 8 oz I think

Well maybe on some airplanes... but I think the 737 drivers are drinking the airplane coffee, black. It's those fancy Airbus pilots with their french press and tray tables!

This is me, slowing becoming more a coffee snob without having any idea what I’m doing or talking about.

i have an aeropress and really like it, btw. Don’t use it much what with an espresso machine on the counter. But it’s a eally good cup.

nothing in my coffee setup is TSA prohibited.

I am a much bigger fan of the next gates over where the salad bar used to be (still food just no salad bar last time I was there). The breakfast bagels are decent and the 30% off is clutch. Coffee is still crap though.

Hey, like what you like! Liking Folgers crystals over expensive organo-vegan coffee only touched by the light of the moon doesn't make you more or less of a snob than the next person. I've got a friend who works for Starbucks and often shares some of their "really good" Reserve stuff. Truth be told, some of it is good, VERY good. And some of it I'd rather pour out and have a cup of Pike Place.

An option I picked up during the great airplane coffee drought of 2020 was a a plastic Melitta pour over cone (takes #2 cone filters), which fits nicely on my contigo travel mug for brewing. Since I don't like/trust the coffee makers in hotel rooms (and I like the option of not using the algae infused water on the airplane) I bough a silicone collapsible travel kettle (search on amazon) that boils up to half a liter of water. Have a bag of my fav grind and voila, hot coffee that doesn't suck. The kettle works on the plug in the cockpit of the 330 and 73.

Whole situation works well, lasts long time.
