Yes, I do. It's a shame they don't have UK power sockets on board BA aircraft either (go figure) otherwise I'd take it on as hand luggage and use it onboard too
Sorry, but I just can't drink airplane coffee or those silly sticks of nescafe they give you in hotels

I also refuse to pay $6-7 plus tray charges and then wait 1/2 hour to get a luke warm coffee from room service.
Some decent hotels are catching on and putting nespresso machines in their executive rooms. It seems silly not to now that the simplest machines retail for around $100 and still make a perfect espresso.
