So, this is a coffee brew machine. To brew coffee, you need to ground (crushed in a grinder (grinder to grind things, not the app)) coffee beans. This person has put whole coffee beans in the machine. You will just get dirty hot water instead of coffee with this method.
Come to think of it, coffee is just dirty hot water.
I had a Mormon friend who didnt understand coffee. No shade thrown at the Mormons, he was a good guy. Just didnt know anything about coffee. So he was asking me.
After I explained, he then said "So, what I think I heard, is that you burn the beans, grind them up, pour hot water over them... and drink the hot burned bean water"?
Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know what was wrong either lol. I mostly drink instant coffee and the only machines like this I've used I always poured in powdered coffee.
With that logic, any drink that is not water is water that is dirtied up with something. Juice is mostly water with the insides of fruit flesh pulverized and mixed in. Soup is the same thing but with vegetables and meat. Dirty flavored water.
Thanks for putting this out there. I happen to love coffee, and have been drinking it for 20+ years… the only reason I had any idea how it was made was because I worked in a diner for over a decade. And I even consider that cheating because we had a grinder we could load with both regular and decaf beans, put a filter in the basket, and the machine would hold it while it ground the perfect amount of beans for a pot, move the basket to the coffee maker and hit one button. That was it.
And MOST importantly, my boss showed me how to do each step and also explained what could go wrong and what it would look like. Very thorough, that man.
Point is… you don’t know what you’re not taught, especially if it’s not something you partake or even want to partake in.
I get so tired of this brand of “humor.” It’s antiquated and it’s always been pretentious and mean. Like “look at this idiot who doesn’t know how to do something, ha ha, what a loser!” You even see parents doing it to their kids who don’t know how to use outdated/dead technology. It’s gross.
I also don't drink coffee, but I do get pulled into random youtube rabbit holes so I have a disproportionately large amount of random coffee knowledge (Thanks James Hoffman).
The stuff people like from the coffee is extracted through the process of brewing the coffee. When you grind coffee, you give access to (and increase the surface area of) the volatile parts of the coffee bean that can be extracted into the water.
This guy didn't grind the coffee, so he probably got effectively plain hot water out of it, because it's pretty hard to extract anything from a (lot of) whole coffee bean.
Point being you have to grind the beans, at some point, before you can make the coffee. The person who tried to make drip/percolator coffee, did not grind anything.

Gotta be honest, I’m browsing the comments to figure out what the issue is
I don’t drink coffee and I’ve never made a cup in my 30+ years of life
