I did know of a captain in the regionals who would pop out his griddle in the galley during the mornings and start making breakfast.

After years without seeing LGA, I am finding myself there more and more. Where do you get coffee that isn't terrible? I have tried those silly places where you order on one screen but pay at another by D92 and the World Bean in the food hall by C42. Both of those places suck. The coffee is way too acidic. I even gave each place 3 attempts, but it's always the same awful coffee. The airplane coffee is better and that still sucks.

Dunkin’ screwed it all up when they ditched the super sized styrofoam cup that kept their non pretentious coffee warm for hours in favor of paper.
Really the only thing they had going for it.

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.

It was the lid that made it better. The paper cup lids suck, dribble easier and go from zero to burn a lot faster. For consistency though, Dunkin is hard to beat. It may never be the best, but its never the worst either.
Some instants are better than the Folgers/Sankas of yore. Better than many of the airport coffees too. Good enough for their main purpose, which we all know ain't pontificating over the subtle notes of dark chocolate and saddle leather at 5AM.
