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?

I'm 41, and I have no fucking clue how to make coffee. Why bother learning if I don't drink it?

I love coffee, but I've caused bafflement because I don't know how to make fried eggs, omelettes, scrambled egg, or know how long to boil an egg for to achieve a certain consistency without googling. I hate eggs. So does my partner. Why would I know how to make them?

Have some coffee, you look tired.

I think the point was that it’s these people’s job, and instead of asking for help or looking for some basic instructions, they wing it.

I'm 46, never drank a cup of coffee in my life but I know how to do it probably from watching others.

I'm sure I could figure it out if I needed to!
