Regardless of the airline, I have never, ever, had good coffee in flight. First class, business, coach, morning flights, afternoon flights, short commuters, coast-to-coast, the coffee has always sucked.
And I'm far from being a coffee snob.
But airline coffee is just... well, it's just not coffee.

It's not just me!
Thank goodness it's not just me! It's not a new issue... the coffee has been undrinkable since the merger. While I can't say I've ever had a magnificent cup of coffee in flight, Delta's coffee is the first I can't even hold my nose and swallow just to wake me up. It's the most foul liquid I've ever tasted!

Yet, there are times when events from the night before along with a morning schedule that deem a gentleman must seek coffee from places where a man should not seek coffee.
There was a time... a short time it seems, when Seatle's Best came back on line and I actually had a few drinkable cups of coffee. I wonder if as part of the deal, they cleaned the machines to improve the overall taste,
I do not expect the same coffee as that nice lady makes in the AlItalia lounge in FCO (but they should go take lessons).... yet, coffee should at least not have such a horrid aftertaste that even Silver Medallions would refuse it if it was free.
I do not ask for much... I am a simple man of simple means....
Just, do not serve coffee on delta jets that tastes horrible... Delta has proven they can serve drinkable coffee before... let's do it again...
Do it for the children Mr Anderson.... Do it for the Children...

I know this may sound silly, but I think its the creamer.
We still have the same coffee, but instead of stocking us with half and half creamer and regular creamer, they've been stocking us with coffee-mate original creamer. I didnt think there was much difference, but BLEH! I know the coffee itself isnt amazing but I drink coffee all the time while Im working, and I really think thats why its tasting worse. Unless you drink you coffee black, then i have NO idea...lol
