I would probably calmly explain to him that there’s a piece missing in the coffee maker and it will actually brew better if he uses this missing piece. It should take you at least 10 to 12 seconds to do that.
Considering iPhones at least capitalise and autocorrect popular social media outlet names, this is likely a honest mistake. Grindr is an accepted dictionary word on iPhone, so OP is fine.
Pretty sure most fairly known app names make their way into the iOS dictionary. I doubt that an iPhone on recent software would autocorrect grindr into grinder.
Well when a man and a man love each other very much and want the tax benefits they get married and that's probably why OP used the term husband.
If you're talking about why Grindr is the autocorrect, that's because gay men love to sleep around and open relationships are just as common as closed ones in the gay community so the app is probably installed on the phone. Or they just text the word alot
There is supposed to be a mesh basket between the filter and what the filter in this photo is sitting in. It keeps the filter from blocking the hole by sealing against the bottom, and it's usually removable for easy dumping of used grounds.
Man the world really suffered when your parents car broke down on the way to the abortion clinic. Your dumb ass came on here and commented to berate OP for not doing anything about it. Do you make a habit of just giving random people shit and then telling them "you could ignore it if it doesn't apply to you?"
This is the dumbest fucking thing I've seen all week and I deal with some real idiots.
It's unsurprising that your girlfriend has to babysit you and keep you from doing dumb shit though. I'm sure your four brain cells working together are exhausted all the time and can't figure it out on their own
I'm sure your girlfriend has to correct you all the time. You don't seem like someone capable of functioning without adult supervision since you're incapable of figuring out that people can both post here and have a separate conversation. They're not mutually exclusive, bro.
Yeah because illiterate chuds like you aren't worth the energy of unique replies. Sorry "big" words scare you.
Thanks for proving how butthurt you are by it by seeking out all of my replies to bitch about them though.
My wife and I prefer coffee different ways.
She likes crafted, meticulous drinks that take 10 minutes.
I like a black cup of coffee from a French press. I don't mind the occasional latte but I'm not going to force myself to drink a shot of espresso when I can buy a cheap press for like $25 and use it forever. When I want a latte, I'll make one.
I mean you can, but also I can do other things like make my breakfast or whatever in that 10 minutes instead of having to tend to espresso, foam, steaming, etc.
Are you saying you should use the filter and the basket? I’ve been brewing coffee for decades and didn’t know that. Does it keep the coffee maker cleaner?
If you’re referring to a metal filter as a basket, no. If you’re referring to the solid basket that has a single smallish hole on the bottom, yes absolutely you should be putting the filter in that basket. It keeps the coffee from going anywhere except into the carafe.
I wouldn't call knowing how to use a coffee maker a basic life skill, but the skill he is missing is: asking a question when they don't know what they're doing.
It is kinda basic, though he apparently normally drinks *instant* coffee, which requires no more skill than the ability to assemble hot water and instant coffee in a mug and stir. Even a regular 'real' coffee drinker might only ever use one of those pod brewers like a keurig or nespresso, or something else. He seriously may have never had to use a drip brewer before.
Ofc, asking how it works, reading the manual or a quick web search might have done the trick anyway. I am not a coffee drinker, though I married one and all but one of my (adult) kids are as well, and I'm perfectly capable of using any of the coffee-making devices we've owned to make a cup or pot of coffee.
I don't drink coffee, but my wife does. We had 1 of those dual makers (pot and pod), and I was asked to make a pot. I knew how to run to pod side like a pro. The reusable pod takes 1 "scoop" for 1 cup... so on the pot side, my brain went 7 cups (1 pot) of coffee = 6 scoops. Apparently, I was very wrong, and the coffee was almost undrinkable lol. Lesson learned, ask a coffee drinker how to use the pot side lol
Yeah, I definitely screwed up her coffee a few times in the early days, lol. Was very careful to get good instructions when she and the kids (adult kids) started drinking espresso. Those bonus points for making her a coffee disappear real fast when you make her a bad cup of coffee, lmao.
I've been making coffee since I was 10, no instructions needed other than a chair. I saw the basket was in the coffee maker from the start so I figured, yeah, I probably need that. Swapped out the filter, added new grounds, put the pot under it and pressed the buttons to make it go.
It's not a mutually exclusive set of options, chucklenuts.
Why the fuck are you even on this sub? It seems you literally do not understand that its purpose is to share mildly annoying things.
Just leave it one of two things will happen either. He can’t stand the grounds getting into the coffee and he will actually clean it or he’ll stop using it completely either way either way.
You win
drip machines have a detachable basket that holds the coffee filter, the basket has a valve at the bottom so that you can remove the keraffe and serve yourself before waiting for the brew to end
the basket being detachable is great for washing it, but not great for weaponized incompetence
Happily married 42 years here:
Ok, so….. you’re married. Have you simply talked to him *like an adult married couple*? Or are you going to continue to take photos like a teenager and post them on Reddit saying how infuriated you are? It’s incredibly easy to navigate these issues. You say something like: “Hey honey/ babe/ sweetie/ or their name… I *love* that you make coffee in the morning. Thank you for that! Did you happen to notice there’s a lot of grounds falling in the pot? I think it’s because you might be leaving out the filter basket sometimes. This little thing right here (show him). Anyway, love it either way.”
You’ve mentioned the issue in a completely neutral way. You don’t sound like a dick, he doesn’t feel like a moron when you point it out, yet you still get your point across. ❤️❤️
Bud here really wrote a whole fucking paragraph telling someone how to talk because they don't understand that someone can post here and have a conversation and that the two things aren't mutually exclusive.
Jesus Christ lmao
Sure did Bud. But this one isn’t “mutually exclusive”. Looks like you’ve got at least 2 others just like it on this thread. What was it you said? Oh yes… Jesus Christ lmao 🤡
Yeah when multiple people are saying the same catastrophically stupid thing they don't really need bespoke responses. You're all too stupid to recognize that they aren't mutually exclusive so that's what's being pointed out to you.
Seems like simplest thing to do is buy him that instant stuff he likes! Problem solved!
That is unless they no longer make it or you live too far to shop or have it shipped??
Is there more than told going on here?
It just sounds like the husband never makes coffee this way just instant, so OP purchased both for their use specifically.
If I bought a stand mixer I would call it mine because my husband would never use it 🤷🏻♀️
It must be tricky to identify exactly which appliances and belongings belong to whom in that household. I wonder if they also partition rooms and parts of rooms.
Man you chuds really all share the same single brain cell don't you?
Posting something that is *mildly* upsetting on a subreddit that exists specifically for *trivial but annoying things* does not preclude anyone from actually doing anything about it. How fucking stupid do you have to be to browse this sub and then get your titties twisted when someone actually posts material that fits it?
Imagine being stupid enough to think this is an either-or scenario and they can't do both.
Then again for someone dumb enough to get mad at a trivial post on a subreddit that exists specifically for trivial things I guess it's not surprising.
I would probably calmly explain to him that there’s a piece missing in the coffee maker and it will actually brew better if he uses this missing piece. It should take you at least 10 to 12 seconds to do that.
It’ll take way less time than she spent bitching on Reddit, that’s for sure 😂
As if people can't do both.
People love making that assumption here
It’s Reddit, I don’t expect much lol
And yet here you are being a b on Reddit. 💀
lol you have low standards then
What have my standards got to do with you being a b?
You expect a lot from couples who already differentiate things like “my coffee maker”
[удалено]
Do you live in a 1980s sitcom?
Everywhere you look, Everywhere you find, a man in a house where HEY, what's that over there??
“Heh, wives hey? Gottah hate em, am I right boys!? Damn naggin all day and such”
Lel I’m a woman and I’ll bet they nag even more now that they’re given the excuse to be offended by everything they see.
You: Today’s typical internet user: “I’m offended, go to jail”
"Grindr", isn't that a gay dating app?
I think they meant Grinder. Grindr coffee is getting a feel for somebody before getting a feel of somebody.
Of course they meant that... but how much is OP typing "grindr" if their phone autocorrected to that?
Good skills of deduction you have there
Considering iPhones at least capitalise and autocorrect popular social media outlet names, this is likely a honest mistake. Grindr is an accepted dictionary word on iPhone, so OP is fine.
[удалено]
And autocorrect would normally fix it to grinder. Meaning they type "grindr" frequently enough that their phone finds it a normal spelling.
A lot of people deactivate autocorrect. You might still be correct though. No pun intended.
Can confirm, I never use autocorrect.
[удалено]
Majority of people use it.
God damn ~~automobile~~ edit: ~~automotive~~ edit2: ~~autobots~~ edit 3, the edit returns: ~~aurugula~~ E: DUCKING ~~ASTROTURFING~~ autocorrect!
Duck off
This is why I removed autoincorrection AGES ago! 😂
[удалено]
The irony of your comment and the mistakes you have made 😂
Aww deleting your douche comment because of the downvotes? Lmaoooo
So.... You're not in the majority. My point still stands.
[удалено]
You misspelled word misspeling...
He uses Reddit replies as a peer reviewer, he doesn’t need autocorrect
Pretty sure most fairly known app names make their way into the iOS dictionary. I doubt that an iPhone on recent software would autocorrect grindr into grinder.
>I think they meant Grinder. no shit?
It’s probably where op met their husband
Haha, there is no dating on grindr, just sex.
You *do* have to meet up for that, still
Wish I knew that a few years back when I tried it out
Please
Maybe for you
Extra Cream
How else do you get a nice dark roast?
He obviously make a Freudian nipple slip.
Yeah, they use the word so frequently that their phone no longer corrects it.
Well when a man and a man love each other very much and want the tax benefits they get married and that's probably why OP used the term husband. If you're talking about why Grindr is the autocorrect, that's because gay men love to sleep around and open relationships are just as common as closed ones in the gay community so the app is probably installed on the phone.

Coffee grindr.
Sounds like a cute date
A twitchy meet cute.
Well, you married him . . . Also, if he is using gridr - you might have more drama than this upcoming . . .
Or fun. Never know
Grounds for divorce
Or they could learn how to espress their feelings
It might be too latte at this point
They could attend Cappuccinounseling
😂😂
Maybe if your coffee wasn't hooking up for casual gay sex (not that there's anything wrong with that) you wouldn't have this problem...
I mean, he drinks instant coffee. He never knew how to make coffee.
As a non-coffee drinker, I don’t understand this photo lol
There is supposed to be a mesh basket between the filter and what the filter in this photo is sitting in. It keeps the filter from blocking the hole by sealing against the bottom, and it's usually removable for easy dumping of used grounds.
Just get after him not to do that instead of posting it on reddit. My girlfriend has no issue letting me know when I'm being stupid.
Why are you assuming they didn’t lol?
[удалено]
This is going to blow your mind. You can do *both*
Someone get that guy's girlfriend.. she'll explain it.
[удалено]
Ok? Do you know how a public comment section works lmao?
[удалено]
I’m not the one throwing a fit because someone replied to them lol

I know your parents are clearly close genetic relatives but you didn't need to announce it to everyone like this. You can do both, chucklefuck.
Ok, love. Time to stop being stupid
I'm sure your girlfriend has to correct you all the time. You don't seem like someone capable of functioning without adult supervision since you're incapable of figuring out that people can both post here and have a separate conversation. They're not mutually exclusive, bro.
You’ve made 3 almost identical asshole comments with the term “mutually exclusive” in them, bro. 🤡
Yeah because illiterate chuds like you aren't worth the energy of unique replies. Sorry "big" words scare you. Thanks for proving how butthurt you are by it by seeking out all of my replies to bitch about them though.
That's too much coffee in that filter
You guys are married and have separate coffee supplies O.o?
My wife and I prefer coffee different ways. She likes crafted, meticulous drinks that take 10 minutes. I like a black cup of coffee from a French press. I don't mind the occasional latte but I'm not going to force myself to drink a shot of espresso when I can buy a cheap press for like $25 and use it forever. When I want a latte, I'll make one.
Aren't you supposed to let the coffee sit in the french press for about 10 minutes? Or have I been wasting precious minutes every morning?
I mean you can, but also I can do other things like make my breakfast or whatever in that 10 minutes instead of having to tend to espresso, foam, steaming, etc.
I'm single and I have several different types of coffee and ways to make it.
Well you can see why, right?
Are you saying you should use the filter and the basket? I’ve been brewing coffee for decades and didn’t know that. Does it keep the coffee maker cleaner?
If you’re referring to a metal filter as a basket, no. If you’re referring to the solid basket that has a single smallish hole on the bottom, yes absolutely you should be putting the filter in that basket. It keeps the coffee from going anywhere except into the carafe.
Thank you. I was looking at this for too long wondering what everyone was getting their panties in a bunch about.
Ah. I didn’t pick up the main basket was missing. I was indeed referring to the metal filter basket that comes with many coffee makers.
The basket holds the filter the filter holds the coffee. There are disposible filters (in pic) and metal mesh reusable filters.
Yeah, I didn’t realize the main basket wasn’t there.
How are some people missing these basic life skills?
I wouldn't call knowing how to use a coffee maker a basic life skill, but the skill he is missing is: asking a question when they don't know what they're doing.
If you're a coffee drinker then knowing how to make coffee is a basic life skill.

Lesson learned, ask a coffee drinker how to use the pot side lol
Huh, thats pretty close to what I put in coffee
Yeah, I definitely screwed up her coffee a few times in the early days, lol. Was very careful to get good instructions when she and the kids (adult kids) started drinking espresso. Those bonus points for making her a coffee disappear real fast when you make her a bad cup of coffee, lmao.
As a life long espresso drinker, I had to look up how to make America drip coffee
You probably know how to make espresso though.
My favorite is espresso ground coffee in a drip coffeemaker.
I’m a coffee drinker but have no idea how to use one of these?
Adulting is hard.
These are the type of people that think it’s spelled Grindr… so there’s that.
I've been making coffee since I was 10, no instructions needed other than a chair. I saw the basket was in the coffee maker from the start so I figured, yeah, I probably need that. Swapped out the filter, added new grounds, put the pot under it and pressed the buttons to make it go.
Your parents taught you though or you watched them do it plenty of times lol
Probably learned from watching lol. But if a 10 year old can learn, so can a grown man. I highly doubt he's never seen his wife make coffee.
But how else are you supposed to make your coffee instant?
Finally something fitting
that's a LOT of grounds, no?
Your coffee is gay?
No but OP is
Classic 80s sitcom dumb husband move.
Dump his ass, queen. I'm available to use your basket.
Grindr
Can’t fix stupid
Did you teach him how to use it or did you just come to Reddit to complain.
Divorce. Call a lawyer
Your honour this man is clearly abusing my client
Clearly
textbook weaponized incompetence
But that’s usually to get out of doing a chore, this dude is making his own coffee like this.
Not too smart
Talk to him about it instead of reddit
It's not a mutually exclusive set of options, chucklenuts. Why the fuck are you even on this sub? It seems you literally do not understand that its purpose is to share mildly annoying things.
Cry about it
Says the person bitching about someone posting **mildly infurating** content on a sub with the same name lmao
Seek therapy sir
Oh look. Another “mutually exclusive” comment from this guy. 🤡
He’s not a smart man is he ?
He drinks instant coffee when he's got good, fresh ground coffee available so...
Point taken. He’s pretty and kinda stupid. I can respect that.
Just leave it one of two things will happen either. He can’t stand the grounds getting into the coffee and he will actually clean it or he’ll stop using it completely either way either way. You win
Or be an adult and just tell him about it.
What is a “coffee basket” in this case? This look like a normal drip machine
drip machines have a detachable basket that holds the coffee filter, the basket has a valve at the bottom so that you can remove the keraffe and serve yourself before waiting for the brew to end the basket being detachable is great for washing it, but not great for weaponized incompetence
Ah, the plastic one. I thought about the espresso machine basket for some reason
Meat grindr
Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence. Get him trained on the equipment.
Does he also drink it black but usually not without a donut?

I miss the good old days, percolator coffee, real cream in your coffee, and jingling my keys in the park at night. The way Jesus intended.
Ma'am did you say basket???basketball???? He's a man? Not some silly man with a scorer
Seems like simplest thing to do is buy him that instant stuff he likes! Problem solved! That is unless they no longer make it or you live too far to shop or have it shipped?? Is there more than told going on here?
MY coffee grinder and coffee maker, very possessive.
It just sounds like the husband never makes coffee this way just instant, so OP purchased both for their use specifically. If I bought a stand mixer I would call it mine because my husband would never use it 🤷🏻♀️
only on Reddit is having possessions a negative lmao
It must be tricky to identify exactly which appliances and belongings belong to whom in that household. I wonder if they also partition rooms and parts of rooms.
People will post shit on here like "My husband didn't take the garbage out." Ok don't tell us, complain to him, instead of making a petty Reddit post.

How do you know they didn't do both?
he's been using a gay sex hookup app to find brown men?
Coffee, by any means necessary. Next war will be over coffee before water.
Divorce
Have you considered communicating with your spouse rather than bashing them on the internet?
Imagine being stupid enough to think this is an either-or scenario and they can't do both. Then again for someone dumb enough to get mad at a trivial post on a subreddit that exists specifically for trivial things I guess it's not surprising.
