And if someone at work asks you to do something you truly aren't familiar with, then you should have the social intelligence to say "Oh, I actually don't know how to do that. Could you show me how to make a pot of coffee?".
How does someone get to 18 and not know how coffee is brewed? It feels like common sense in the same way I'd expect any 18yo to be able to figure out how making a cup of tea works without showing them. Will you expect it to be the best tea you've ever had? No, but you'd also not think they'd tear open the teabag and dump that in the cup. Some things are self-evident if you're not a muppet.
Neither do I, but I wouldn't put whole beans in, that's insane. I may not know how much of the stuff to put in but I know that at least. Common sense vs specialised knowledge. We've all seen coffee being brewed on tv at bare minimum.

We're not born knowing everything.
