You're spot on re: the water quality. An investigation at DFW a few years ago found hazardous levels of e.coli in the potable water tanks used to refill aircraft.
I wonder why the airlines aren't doing anything about this. I'm not a frequent first-class passenger, but if I were, high-quality coffee would be a big deal for me.
- freese 10y agoPlane water is really nasty. Even Sudden made it will not taste great. You can mix Sudden with cold water by shaking it in a bottle and that's what I usually do when traveling

Many transatlantic and transpacific flights now have a proper grind-on-demand coffee machine (allowing for lattes, cappuccinos, etc) in business / first class. Doesn't necessarily solve the water problem, although they can fill them up from bottled (I don't know if they actually do).
- freese 10y agoDefinitely looking to do plane coffee at some point but the water quality remains biggest issue.
- blhack 10y agoI don't think I've ever been on an airplane that served "tap water". It's always been bottled.
- freese 10y agodrinking water is but hot water for brewing coffee comes from big tanks that get really gross
