Steve Varsano breaks down why a coffee canister costs $15,000 on private jets. The price covers not just the canister but the wiring, plumbing, and safety systems needed to keep coffee warm at altitude without freezing or damaging the aircraft.
We don't even have a coffee maker. We have a coffee pot. It's a delicious coffee pot though. The coffee pot's $15,000, just the pot.
Mm, I don't think so. There's no question if you have to have a coffee machine installed in the galley or the kitchen of the airplane, it could cost that much money. That's because they have to run all the wires, the piping, the plumbing, and has to be secure from the standpoint of not freezing when the airplane's sitting on the ground because it could burst. and it could cause a lot of other implications in the airplane besides just breaking the coffee machine. So there are a lot of much more safety features built into the system for these reasons.
$15,000 just for the canister, and they take it inside and they brew the coffee inside, in like the little wherever the airport is that you're in, and they fill it up and then you have coffee for your whole flight. Coffee's great. It stays warm. It's nice. $15K is crazy. For a pot. That's just the pot.
Wow.
That's not even the whole unit. That's not the warming unit. I'm literally talking about the canister that ho—
