And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Makes me wonder. That has to be some kind of special coffee machine, somehow make up for cruising altitude were water boils at a lower temp. My house sits at 3400 ft alt, we can't get water to boil above 208F, makes a big diff in taste using 212F.
A TIA coffee brewer approved for aircraft use is $10K. IIRC the TIA brews the coffee for longer to compensate for the lower boiling point at 9,000ft. Steam near electrical panels is eventually going to cause electrical gremlins. I've also changed a lot of control heads in the console due to spilt coffee so I don't like how close it is to the co-pilots side panel. Al_in_Ottawa
I absolutely love how we get precise answers to seemingly esoteric questions from gentlemen ( and a few ladies) with diverse experiences on this website. Especially when it comes to aviation
Not as effective as the Dexedrine but warming. I wonder what the cost of the units were?

But..it's still boiling...lower temp, higher temp-it's still boiling...

beyond a thermos bottle or two, never gave it a thought. Perhaps the "coffee mess" is in a pressurized area of the ship.
ReplyDeleteYou mean, like the interior?

and you just know it tasted like crap (like all coffee in the military) and could be alternatively used to paint a house.
ReplyDeleteMagnetized base to keep it from spilling?
ReplyDeleteI bet a Keurig would make better coffee and be a hell of a lot cheaper
ReplyDeleteYou do realize the newest B-52 is 63 years old?
DeleteI'm thinking it was for reheating coffee you brought.

ReplyDeleteI think that is a locally fabricated, field-expedient installation, not something to be found in the tech orders.
ReplyDeleteLook amazingly similar to the hot cups in the galley of a P-3.
