It actually has nothing to do with how often the water tanks are cleaned.
If you ’ve flown quite a few times , there are surely someairplane horror storiesyou lived through that still obsess your travel — peoplesticking their bare feetin socially unacceptable billet , gross trash found in the arse ’s backpocket , you name it . There ’s always something that will make anyone ’s skin crawl .
And in light of the upcomingholiday travel flights , here I am to share with you yet another rationality to be potentially gross out on sheet . Or actually , the way I see it , this is prophylactic advice to assure you actuallydonotend up feeling like that on your next trajectory out .
The flight accompaniment TikToker , though , points to another issue with aeroplane coffee . " The fact that the [ water ] tanks rarely get scavenge should be the least of your fear , " they say in the telecasting .

obviously , in their experience , attendants are not allowed to empty deep brown pots in drains , and they ’re alternatively supposed to underprice them down the toilet . When they do that , though , thing can get pretty nasty . " In rules of order to not make a Brobdingnagian mess everywhere , you kinda have to get a slight close to the toilet , " they explain in the video . " And I imagine there ’s some kind of backsplash of particles , bacteria , [ or ] whatever that goes like a shot back into the chocolate pot which is put mightily back into the coffee tree maker . " It ’s either the planer you ’re vaporize on has an espresso maker or , according to the TikToker , you should n’t be pledge burnt umber .
Others , however , concord with the post-horse , and even offer further advice on beverages in general . " I do n’t take any drinking from the pushcart , peculiarly not with ice , " say one user , who discover themselves as a former flight attendant . " Ice trays are at exact height of people ’s mouths for cough / sneeze . "
airway might have different rule on where and how to empty coffee pots , but if you want to persist in the clear , you have two options . It ’s either you do n’t drink coffee or , as the original poster suggests , you get yourself a nice cupful of Joe from a coffee shop near the gate right before boarding the aeroplane .
