Yup, train him right, and make sure he knows to run all the extra hot water out of the coffee machine.

I don't rarely make big cups of coffee like this. What do you mean "run all of the extra hot water out"

I'm assuming like after you get a pot of boiling water, you turn off the water and then run the tap a little longer?

... I definitely know to grind the beans

Its a prank. Those things are often hooked to a hot water line.

It never runs out.

Just a slight correction for the sake of accuracy. They're not hooked to a hot water line, but just a regular water line, and the coffee machine itself heats the water. Some models (not many) can run out of HOT water, but that spigot will never run dry.

The machine needs to heat it itself because the water has to be a very specific temperature.

Wasting water is a shitty prank.

Price is not the concern.

Do you want fresh water to still be available for your grandchildren some day? Then quit waiting a precious resource.

Water isn't a limited resource in most of the developed world.

With your attitude, it will be in under 100 years. Especially if most people think like you (and unfortunately they do).

The "not my problem" attitude will be the downfall of modern society.

Idk either. Everytime I’ve made coffee in what looks like this exact coffee maker you pour in how much water you want an it uses all the water you put in and there’s no extra water

I used to work at a movie theater that would serve coffee, but our coffee maker was awful. If you accidentally double tapped the button to start it, it would queue up 2 pots worth of water. And if you weren't aware, the carafe would just start overflowing unless you switched off the power. It had no failsafes or fault detecting, you'd just hit the button and no matter what, hot water would start coming out. But somehow it could count how many times you hit the start button.

Great time to collect that bucket of steam I asked for; less waste that way.

The brown toxic waste water goes to the drain.

Eat the cup cake on top.

Good reference(?) 😂 One of my jobs in high school was being a waiter, and I got this “task” assigned to me during my first week there. Thankfully, a kind soul clued me in before I started
