Amtrak Dining and Cafe Service discussion 2024 H2

It's been a while since I've been on a Viewliner but I believe the coffee maker was a Douwe Egberts machine that uses liquid coffee concentrate that's mixed with hot water.

Yuk! Princess Cruises used to use liquid coffee concentrate, and had the reputation for the worst coffee at sea. They have since improved with regular ground coffee.

I haven't seen one of those machines on a train in a while. They sell quite a few different concentrates, and some are very good, and some are certainly not. Also, they need to be kept clean and have a good water supply. The one thing they do provide is the ability to have 24 hr service without too much of a hassle. A route like the AutoTrain (limited morning travel) it could make sense.
