Making coffee from scratch (is hard)

For the longest time I didn't know where coffee came from, and only recently I discovered that it came from a fruit called the coffee cherry. From what I saw, the coffee cherry itself didn't look very special, and in my opinion, it didn't justify the unique smell and flavor of coffee.

So, to figure things out for myself, I decided to make coffee from scratch. However, what I didn't know, was just how hard it could be to make.

Niles cooking channel should be called NileBlack, where we watch Nile turn all organic matter into carbon.

Watching nile completely ruin his coffee beans in the pan only to say "not to worry I have a backup" and pull out and actual coffee roaster and THEN sit there and watch the beans in the roaster go from a perfect roast to pitch black coal because he's so committed to following instructions he found on the internet is genuinely harrowing stuff

[TheAmazingKoki]

It's amazing how Nigel is better at making food from non-foods than making food from ingredients.

Nigel's unwavering commitment to the written instructions, even as the coffee visibly turns into cinders before his very eyes, is truly a sight to behold.

Make cherry cola from paint remover? Easy
Make a cup of coffee or bake a cookie?
Damn near impossible

[Xanthanarium]

Loved the part where Nile kept saying "We've gotta wait for first crack" while *copious* amounts of smoke were *visibly* pouring off the beans

[Setixir]

Nile is so comically bad at cooking its almost hilarious. No strainer to take the coffee out of the water. No spatula to remove the beans from the trays. Physically watching beans smoke and burn to a crisp and thinking it needs more heat.

Its art.

I love how the cameraman never helps out and just watches and judges him

[davidkunkle]

I just spent 38 minutes of my life watching a man burn coffee beans into Oblivion
10 out of 10

[inkermoy]

Niles who thinks outside of the box most of the time decides to strictly follow directions and burns his coffee beans twice instead of using his eyes.

I don't understand how nile can be good at chemistry but as soon as he has to lightly heat food, he absolutely destroys it without fail

[issaVPR]

nile’s cooking skills will never fail to amuse me. “it doesn’t look burnt” - nile, as he stares at the completely black coffee beans, patting himself on the back.

[timrr]

The commitment to the full 15mins was incredible. I suspect if they were on fire he still would have been “they’re on fire at 10mins so should be perfect at 15”

[nononolistenlisten]

29:00 "I heard a crack!" he says as smoke fills his office kitchen. Nile this was a painful watch, incredible content lol

[centHotDog]

Literally watches coffee burn in real time. Then opens the lid and goes “What?!”

[jekanyika]

I always thought the skills needed cooking a chemistry were pretty similar, Nigel is doing his best to prove me wrong.

[augustotutu]

I grow up seeing my family roasting coffee from their own farms in Brazil. See a canadian burn his beans twice in a row is magic to me

[admiralackbar]

Man can turn gloves into hot sauce, but after watching this i dont think he could make toast 😂

[uberfuzzy]

After the cookie, then this, watching Nile doing "cooking" is like watch an alien that doesnt actually eat food, but has only read about the concept of what the finished product is supposed to be. Never stop making these, its seriously 9 out of 10 entertainment.

Nile is a video game character that took away his cooking stats to buff science. now he’s out in the woods shooting lightning out of his hands but eating raw meat and burnt noodles
