She said: "Don’t drink the coffee on airplanes."
"It’s the same potable (drinkable) water that goes through the bathroom system."
"We recently had a test for E. coli in our water and it didn’t pass, and then maintenance came on and hit a couple buttons and it passed."
She added: "So, avoid any hot water or tea. Bottled and ice is fine, of course."
