However, given that someone (you?) objected to the primary constituent of coffee - water - and valued the ability to stand a spoon in their coffee - then a jar of freeze dried granules should represent coffee nirvana on these metrics.

I suppose the best coffee is actually provided on the only true legacy carriers left in this country, 5T/7F on YOW/YUL-YFB. The free coffee and Bailey's after dinner is great! Otherwise I think their coffee is the worst of all the carriers I fly regularly.
For those wine lovers up thread, the free wine with dinner is also a great touch. Of course for ~$3k return in Y for an under three hour flight it should be.

Overpriced? Usually, AC/Westjet price their fares within $5. If the difference is larger, it is because of the loads. Westjet is a good airline for a leisure traveler or someone who fly's a limited amount of business travel. Fly 10X per year, Westjet could be better. Fly, 40 to 100+ times per year, AC is light years ahead of Westjet with their Altitude program. Maybe because of my Status, but I get better service with AC(SE2MM) than Westjet(Gold).

As far as coffee goes, I welcome the McCafe offering. Better than what they have now. I put it somewhere between Tim's and Starbucks.
