Flying is such a luxury. Being whisked from Point A to Point B at over 500 miles per hour never ceases to amaze me. Enjoying a window seat view from 39,000 feet is a piece of heaven on earth. But it’s even better with a delectable cup of coffee in hand. Here’s why airplane coffee is my only choice when flying.
It Keeps the Immune System Strong
If there is one thing in flight coffee is known for, it is for it’s immune-boosting properties. All the studies show this. It’s bound to be contaminated with E. coli, which means if it doesn’t kill you, it just makes you stronger.
Given the number of cups I’ve had without dying, I ought to be unstoppable by now.
It Doesn’t Dull the Senses
You might think that a gin and tonic is a far better in-flight beverage. Don’t fall for it. When you’re jetting along at five miles above the ground, you want to savor every moment. Every. Moment. Being stuck in a metal tube with 242 other people is an experience like no other. Pounding down a couple alcoholic drinks and passing out is just wrong.
Enjoy talking with your seat mate. Walk barefoot up and down the aisle. Take in the lavatory smells. And above all, clap when you land. It’s the best way to celebrate the wonder of flight.
It’s A Great Reminder of Excellent Coffee
I enjoy every cup of in-flight coffee. The dominant flavor profile is usually either acrid burnt beans or watered-down dirt. It’s perfect. I’m reminded of how good I have it. It’s not everyday you can enjoy such an excellent cup of joe! There’s no comparison. It’s nigh impossible to find such excellent grounds on the ground.
Airplane Coffee. Always.
Drink in the airplane coffee. It’ll make you high on life.
I don’t like the taste of coffee candy, much less the liquid form. If I’m trying to wake up in the morning I find planting my bare butt on a cold toilet seat usually does the trick.
Thanks for the laugh this morning. As I sip my coffee, of course.
Man you’re weird!!
You know, its for the reasons stated in various articles concerned about the health of the water on planes that I make sure to clean all the pipes, faucets, and even the hot water tank at my house at least 4 or 5 times a year. You can never be too careful! I’ve had a little bit of trouble accessing the incoming waterline from the city to properly clean it. Something about “Do you have a permit?” and “You can’t do that! Its city side of the meter!” Do they not understand that the inside of the pipes is going… Read more »
Everything. Everything will eventually kill you.
A Modest Proposal indeed. Thanks for the laugh.
I hope I can provide more. 😉
Don’t fool yourself into thinking you are immune to E. Coli. I won’t ever drink a cup of anything made with airplane heated tank water.
And they say satire is dead.
