Best airline coffee?

Best airline coffee? Had French press in economy LAX-Mel QF94 and it was the best I've had (yes surprising). First and business coffee has always disappointed in QF EK and BA

It's usually terrible. Why do you ask?

I find when airlines actually bother to make proper coffee with a French press (which was, by the way, invented by an Italian) the result is streets ahead of airline instant but compared to what I make each morning at home it doesn't hold any water, never mind comparing it to a flat white at a good cafe.

I flew SQ A380 from Singapore to London in Business and I thought is was really good!. 

*i thought it was really good coffee!

Did you get espresso coffee, like an espresso shot or a flat white or something?

I was fortunate enough to try Singapore Airlines  Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee in suites. Hands down best coffee I've had in the air.

surprisingly, I had a good economy coffee on MH, they didn't give milk but had a non dairy creamer instead (not sure how much difference this makes to a coffee)

Non-dairy creamer is terrible.

I'm glad it's not instant. I think it is absolutely disgraceful for an Australian airline to serve instant coffee. I half expect it from Asian carriers but not from Qantas or Virgin. You don't mess with coffee in Australia and by extension national carriers shouldn't either. That's like asking BA to serve bad tea, which incidentally they don't. The BA brew (specially crafted by Twinings) is the best in the sky that I've ever tasted!

Qantas does a tolerable but unimpressive tea on domestic runs. It's good enough to drink without sugar and milk, though, and they're nice after a flat white in the lounge.

Asian carriers can't really get away with it either. Places like Hong Kong and Singapore have good local coffee, so while you wouldn't see the big red plunger like on Qantas, you'd expect at least a decent-tasting 3-in-1 to be available.

Everyone I know says the fresh-made coffee in SQ's premium cabins are great.
