Everything in aviation is expensive. Markets are relatively small, and the cost of gaining, maintaining, and complying with regulation is enormous.

The risk that a malfunctioning coffee maker will cause a plane crash is very low. It costs a lot to keep it that way. Remember that coffee makers contain potentially flammable materials and a potentially dangerous heat source.
