Ravi honestly doesn't hear a word that Major's saying, practically hearing a swan song in his head as the coffeemaker (ancient though it may be) looms in front of him, like a beautiful vision out of the clouds. "I mean, I've never actually used one before," he admits, peering at it curiously, with a scientist's eye. He doesn't say 'how hard can it be' because he knows that's a curse, but he intends to take this methodically.

Beginning to take it apart, Ravi inspects the chamber and the build, believing that he's got an idea. "I mean, you'd think it's just water heating into coffee and then sort of reverse-filtering it? So instead of dripping down, it just sort of steams up?"
