It's amazing a company would actually release PR for bringing in another coffee to replace what was really horrible coffee served onboard for many years. Even combined with the powder creamy and sweetner, SWA coffee was so bad that I always get airport coffee before get onboard. Finally, they are entering the 21st century of better onboard coffee like most of its competitors.

Is this coffee fair trade?

Paul,
According to Mother Parkers' web site, they are one of the largest importers of Fair Trade coffee beans in North America. For more information on their environmental and social responsibility programs check their web site: http://www.mother-parkers.com/bottomsections/Making_a_Difference_frame.h...

Great idea! Most airlines have terrible coffee, so this is a step in the right direction. Maybe the other carriers will take note (but then they will probably charge a fee for better coffee).

Yay! Thanks! Now let's see if something can be done about the powdered creamer. I know for a fact that Land 'o Lakes makes aseptic individual creamers that don't need to be refrigerated if that's an issue.

Looking forward to trying it on my flight to LAS this Wednesday. I'll give you my feedback then. But I'm excited about this improvement. Thanks Southwest!

My seatback and tray are in the upright position, and I'm ready to go!

I had the 6:30am flight out of New Orleans Monday morning after a weekend at Jazz Fest. I needed coffee in the worst way. Even though I would have been happy with any coffee that morning, I was bowled over by the new coffee. It is excellent. And the real creamer was an extra bonus. Southwest to be a step above the rest!

I caught an early flight yesterday, and was greeted with a properly sized (it is bigger now) coffee with REAL CREAMER.

Thanks Southwest for catering to the business traveler.

Yep, I tried it, and it was bigger and better, and a much-appreciated improvement on the old stuff. Thank you Southwest!

I had two cups this afternoon on the way back from Miami. It is delicious: very smooth but packed with rich flavor.

Great coffee! Where can I buy it?

Love Southwest!

I too was delighted with the new coffee and creamer. Loved it. Now tell me where I can buy it.

Thanks Southwest

I have tasted coffee from all over the world and this is without reservation the best I have ever tasted. Rivals even the liquid coffee served in the finest restaurants.

WHERE CAN I BUY THIS COFFEE.
SW SHOULD SELL THIS COFFEE.
