中文原文為 TVBS 翻譯英國鏡報 "Flight attendant reveals disgusting reason why you should never drink coffee on planes" 一文。然而原文報導僅提及「咖啡使用的飲用水與廁所是同一個系統」,簡化為「廁所水」有些危言聳聽——其實就是水龍頭水,同時用在廁所與飲用而已。

不過,飛機上的飲用水槽的衛生確實值得懷疑。該文內「匿名空服員」對飛機上的水龍頭水的指控,在 2013 年就曾經在 Forbes 出現過。2017 年 Business Insider 也收到空服員對飛機上水龍頭水的指控,航空公司在飛機水龍頭水衛生的紀錄也並不好,美國國家環境保護局曾發現每 8 架飛機中,就有 1 架的水質不合格。

Business Insider 向多個團體求證,航空公司與空服員協會表示已經有在改善中,而且若飲用的是瓶裝水則沒有問題。
