Rubbish.

It was cost cutting that led to QF's decision to replace the inventum drip filter style coffee with these cheap plastic bodums.

Taste???? You have got to be joking. It can't be kept satisfactorily hot for longer than 5 minutes as it isn't insulated [see other airlines product] and the taste is appalling.

I can't tell you how many cups come back half full.

The other problem that QF ignores are the incidences of burns caused by the inordinate amount of pressure that is needed to plunge these bodums.

On occasions you have to almost stand on them with one palm to plunge only to have them "let go" all at once with the resultant spout of hot liquid erupt out scalding faces, chests, arms and hands.

Does QF know of these issues??

Yep. We are told to discard the contents if they resist being plunged and try again?????

OH & S????? Not when it comes to spending money. They don't give a flying F@ck.
