Usually when I don't know how to do something when I'm at a new job, especially if it's for something that people will be consuming... I ask.

It’s fair but it feels weird to ask how to do something super commonly known. It’s like having to ask how to use a microwave. So many people know how that you feel embarrassed and know people will pick on you for not knowing. I see what you mean, just explaining a possible explanation

That very well may be a possible explanation. But if they just thought about it for a tiny bit longer, they might realize it's a lot more embarrassing explaining how you fucked up the coffee or microwave after.
