RE: why you should never order tea or coffee in a flight.You need to know this before you order tea or coffee next time in a flight.

i think the risks you described can happen any place where contaminated water is used for consumption.

and by the way i don't think pathogens will survive the temperature required in preparation of tea/coffee, so it should be all right to have tea/coffee on flights, not tap water i think.

correct me if i am wrong.
