  • All this fuss over coffee

    Yesterday, I ended up making a woman coffee 5 TIMES. She wanted de-caff. But every time she wanted a fresh one made after slurping her coffee down very quickly.

    The coffee was either too hot, too cold, too lukewarm, too strong, too weak, too milky, not milky enough. All this over those tiny coffee cups we serve coffee in, on a 90 minute flight and she wasn't even in business class and had paid around £50 for her ticket.

    She had a frequent flyer card though, quite high status ,which of course makes her a semi goddess She complained that she had ordered a low-cal meal, on these short routes we do not do special meals in economy, being a frequent flyer she should know that. She then said other crew ALWAYS manage to bring her a salad from business class.

    She was very precious indeed and had two children with her, clambering over the seats as I was standing there with her coffee on a tray trying to give it to her.

            Coffee = life. However, I would never make a nuisance of myself on an aeroplane over it.

            Bet you were itching to get out the parachutes and have a little accident with the window. XD

                      Katie, reading your posts make me extra nice to flight attendants. I will be extra good on my flight on Sunday. I promise.

                        I make my husband order decaf after he's already had 2 8 shot white mocha's if he wants another.

                            Forgive me coffee enthusiasts of the board, but coffee just doesn't taste good enough to be decaf. It's like non-alcoholic beer. I don't get the attraction.

                            Man, 50 pounds for a ticket and she expects to be treated like business class? If someone gave me an airline ticket for whatever the rough equivalent of that in USD is I'd be kissing the ground they walked on.

                              Quick note about the decaf argument--most decaf coffees taste like crap b/c most manufacturers use the cheap method of decaffeination, which involves chemicals. It takes the caffeine out, but a chemical residue is left on the coffee.

                              My coffee company however (Caribou) uses a natural process that uses water and heat to extract the caffeine. It's just as effective, yet a bit more expensive, which is why the decaf coffee at our store has a 10 cent increase. But I swear, you cannot taste the difference between the regular and decaf versions of the same blend.

                              Back to the original poster, you have amazing patience for that wench. I never would've done all that. It irks me to no end when customers demand fresh coffee--and by fresh, they want it no older than 10 minutes. Sigh.

                              Oh, and I'm always VERY polite to flight attendants.
