American Airlines is bringing back espresso on its Boeing 777-200 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. Passengers in Flagship First and Flagship Business Class will be able to get their caffeine fix soon on these aircraft.

The return of espresso on Boeing 777-200 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft is something that many will celebrate. American stopped catering espresso and cups for it during the pandemic. It returned on Boeing 787-8, Boeing 787-9, and Airbus A321T aircraft in the spring of 2022, but was still absent on American’s 777s. American used to only offer espresso to First Class passengers, but now those on flights marketed either as Flagship First and Flagship Business Class will have this beverage choice.
American rarely leads the domestic carriers when it comes to product innovation, but it will be the only one of the big three to consistently offer espresso. Delta Air Lines has espresso machines on some aircraft that fly international routes marketed as Delta One®, but this is not consistent. United Airlines does not offer espresso on any flights other than canned Illy Cold Brew (which it added in flight back in July 2024). I don’t drink coffee or tea on board aircraft as I don’t trust the cleanliness of the water tanks, but this is a nice addition for those who do partake.
Anthony’s Take: It’s nice to see American adding an onboard amenity that Delta and United do not offer consistently. We’ll see how this rolls out and if American chooses to keep it in the future as it was cut last time to save on fuel costs transporting the machines.
