So a couple quips about the quality of airplane coffee and the need to import led to when are we getting espresso machines on-board. He mentioned that US' A330 had them and I recalled Alitalia had it when I flew them in the 90's.
As I sat in my seat, I got to wondering whether anybody has ever brought the small Nespresso machine onboard and fired it up?
Of course, you'd need AC current and there's probably no room in Y but there's certainly room in an F suite.
Added: just checked the current draw & it's not gonna work as the current draw is too high
Whatever floats one's boat but I cannot fathom, given carryon restrictions, how a cup of Nespresso while in flight compensates for carrying less medications, valuables, and other items used in flight unless one has no need for meds, does not use electronic devices or other fragile (non-checkable items), and does not carry some food, etc. on a flight.
