The coffee/water/ice scare me more than either of those. A former FA family member told me longer term employees wouldn’t dare touch the stuff.

- Arrath 4y agoIf the coffee pots, water tanks, etc. are cleaned as rigorously as the same at restaurants and so on, then yeah I could see the desire to only want stuff that came in sealed bottles and touched no ice.
- kube-system 4y agoPotable water tanks are built into the plane, and they're filled from a truck at the gate. Those tanks are cleaned... occasionally. Oh, and the water is usually pumped out via the same bleed air this article is about. Although this article says that "most airlines" serve bottled water for this reason: https://insights.globalspec.com/article/16509/airplane-water-and-wastewater-systems https://insights.globalspec.com/article/16509/airplane-water... Although I have seen it claimed elsewhere that often the coffee and tea are made with water from the tap and not bottled. I suspect it may vary by airline.
