Huh? We had way better coffee in the military. though some squadrons were better than others. Best coffee setups we're deployed ops. Last trip to Afghanistan, we had multiple french presses, a few pour over kits, k-cups (if you're into that), aeropress, etc...
I actually used to bring a pour over kit on my 330 trips, but you're always stuck with crap water, so you can only get so far. I do agree that you need a creamer to drink ship coffee.

Bud, any real man will just flex while pointing at things. We don’t need to use our coffee to get that point across.

Bring your own insulated metal coffee cup (with lid). Airplane coffee is pretty decent when it's fresh and hot (not so much lukewarm in a paper cup after it sat on the burner for an hour)
You can sip on that thing for hours.

A thermos replaced all those heavy manuals that used to residee in my flight bag. Took my empty thermos through security. Our dispatch center, inhabited with coffee drinkers, most of the time had fresh coffee with proper light cream. Not the flammable powdered creamer. No coffee? No problem. Fill the thermos with hot water. I always had coffee sachets (as required by my personal MEL) in my bag as an alternate. Anyway... many airports we served had AMEX Centurion lounges. Being a member, I took the opportunity to visit said lounges to fill 'er up. Unlike the US, overseas lounges do not discriminate against members in uniform. I wouldn't use airplane water to rinse out my thermos.
