Flight attendants express distaste for coffee served on airplanes, highlighting its poor taste and hygiene concerns. Leanna Coy, a flight attendant, criticizes those who choose to drink it for flavor rather than caffeine. Colleagues share concerns about coffee pot cleanliness, point out that coffee pots are often contaminated during cleaning, and emphasize that the water tanks aren't properly maintained. Experts recommend drinking water instead due to the dehydrating effects of coffee at high altitudes and the subpar quality of airplane brews.
"You're telling me, you genuinely enjoy the taste of that airplane coffee so much that you’re willing to drink it—just for the flavor itself?"
"The fact that the tanks rarely get cleaned that the water is in should be the least of your concerns... There's some kind of backsplash of particles, bacteria, whatever that goes directly back into the coffee pot."
