I continue to see online warning about tap water on a plane. It always includes a warning about not drinking the coffee. I like black coffee and really like the stuff United serves. I always ask for it. Never had any taste or health issue. Is this BS? Do they still, after all this publicity, "rarely clean the tanks"?
I am guessing this is one of those online things that never quits. I also would guess that the heat in the coffee pot kills anything left in the water.
And if anyone from United reads this, the illy coffee is excellent.
