The neighbor who tried to convince me to cook pasta in my coffee maker

Last Tuesday, my neighbor Dave from across the street knocked on my door while I was meal prepping. He saw me boiling water for spaghetti and insisted I should just use my Mr. Coffee machine instead, since it 'already heats water perfectly.' I told him that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, but he wouldn't drop it until I showed him the manual. Has anyone else ever had someone suggest something so weird for dinner?

Wait did Dave think the coffee maker has a pasta setting or something? Ngl that's the kind of logic you'd get from a guy who uses a lawnmower to trim his hedges. Did he actually think the machine would just shoot out spaghetti noodles like a Keurig pod? Honestly I'm half curious what kind of weird pasta he eats if he thinks coffee flavored water would taste good.

Gotta admit, I used to be the kind of person who would try anything once in the kitchen. I even put leftover spaghetti sauce through a blender once because I thought it would make it smoother. But reading this, I'm starting to think Dave might have been onto something crazy. I mean, imagine the look on his face when he realized the coffee maker wasn't going to produce a hot steaming bowl of fettuccine. That's the kind of logic you'd expect from someone who thinks a microwave can toast bread. I guess I'm just glad he didn't try to brew a pot of soup.
