SQ: serves Blue Mountain coffee (but only in F, not in J). And only if you specifically ask, they will not volunteer it usually. Blue Mountain is bliss, worth the effort. Otherwise lots of airlines have Starbucks quality coffee (but not within the US borders, for some reason, must be a deal with the airports). You too can be a snob (without eating caviar or drinking fine wine, just stick to that Blue Mountain).

Thanks for the tip. Blue mountain is great coffee -- at least on the ground. I am a snob with many things indeed
. For example coffee. I usually buy my beans from a small local roaster, who does a better job than Starbucks. Starbucks seems to burn their beans and to get rid of all the delicate flavors.
UA claims to be serving Starbucks coffee, although their coffee isn't very good in any class. Once I was really amazed by the taste of coffee on one SK flight. So I had to ask a FA what they are brewing... She said Nescafe of some sort!! I could not believe it. I guess the lower pressure makes brewing good coffee the traditional way quite impossible.
