PSA: The coffee at the Anchorage airport is $6 and tastes like burnt regret
I was stuck on a layover in Anchorage last month and grabbed a cup from that one stand near gate B6 because I had 20 minutes and no other options. It was $6.25 for a small drip and it tasted like someone left it on the burner since Tuesday, which honestly made me weirdly grateful for my home setup. Now I'm curious if airport coffee is just doomed everywhere or if I picked the wrong spot. What's the worst airport coffee you've had, and did you find a good one hiding anywhere?
Burnt regret is too real, that burner coffee hits a whole different level of sad. Honestly the only airports where I've had decent luck are the ones with a local roaster actually running the stand, and even then it's hit or miss depending on who's working that day. Your home setup probably tastes like a fancy cafe now by comparison, that layover did you a favor.
