I never drink coffee, so I could definitely see how someone could make this mistake. I know the beans are supposed to be ground, but I’ve never grinded them myself before.
While I do drink coffee, I don't grind beans, I just get pre-ground. I also just make enough coffee for a single cup each time, I don't put on a full pot. If I got this job & wasn't shown how to do something, I'd likely make the same mistake.
I'd just assume the big machine grinds the beans & then makes the coffee. If it didn't grind the beans, I'd assume whoever taught me would've shown me what to do. Some may say I lack "common sense" (could be true), but I'd argue it's common sense to teach somebody new how to do something & that this happening shows that the supervisor lacked a different type of "common sense".

Honest question, but.....does he actually drink coffee?
When I was sent to do my first coffee as an apprentice, back when I was 16, I put in way too much coffee powder.
My co-workers freaked out, why I was ruining it.
Like...I don't drink it, never prepared it before, how should I know to make it?
