nevermind that the coffe is irredeemably awful tasting
It tastes terrible and the only redeeming quality is that it's "break glass in case of emergency" caffeine.

I find it funny that the meme is that the guy making $400k a year is too cheap to buy decent coffee and suffers through airplane coffee because it's free. Then makes fun of the younger FOs for preferring to spend money on something that doesn't taste like it was filtered through a dirty sock

I think it's perfectly fine with some cream and sweetener. But I'll never drink it black. You drink good coffee black. I never understood why guys suffer through black airplane coffee.

I drink it black all the time. There's probably something wrong with me because I genuinely like it 😂

When you say decent coffee are you talking about Dunkin or Starbucks? 400k or not anything in the airport is mostly subpar. Except those iced caramel lattes. Lil treat for Poppa when the sun is blazing and the apu is spent.

The airport chain coffee places are fine, not great. Stumptown does a good job with a consistent product. But i still think it's worth it to spend a couple of bucks on airport coffee versus drinking hose water stored in a tank that hasn't been cleaned in a year

it’s somehow more manly to drink something that sucks because they used to have bad coffee in the military, I guess.


luckily for them, black rifle makes awful coffee they can get delivered to their doorstep

Are you English or something?!

Honestly though, I've flown with a lot of non-coffee drinker FOs and I'm like, 'how the **** do you do it?!'.. To each their own I guess.

Airplane (and most airport) coffee is hot garbage.

I’ve gone to only drinking the nitro cold brews or iced coffee if that’s all they have. The Sbux nitro is actually really good.
