I figure yes. Even mediocre hotels sometimes have small coffee pots in the rooms, and even if Dean and Sam stay in cruddy hotels some of the time, there must be times they stay at places like Holiday Inn or whatever. Plus, coffee pots are easy to work. Dump in grounds, add water, push button. If Dean knows how to clean and load a gun, surely he can make coffee?

Even in Bumfuck, Nowhere, there are nearly-24-hour diners.

I figure since Dean has been the pseudo-Mom from a young age and the dispenser of Spagettios and sugary cereals, he has also made the coffee whenever Dad stumbles in. Or uncapped the beers, or whatever.

Absolutely. Dean knows everything he needs to know to keep him alive, to survive on his own.




What? It's caffeine! That's like air!!

Huh, I am wondering where this idea of John as a drunk comes from, but okay.

Dean totally can make coffee, but why should he? There are always diners with waitresses that'll flirt with him & sometimes even more. He can't get that out of a hotel coffee pot. *g*

Yeah he totally does, because when they lived in that one town, when Sammy was just a freshmen and they went to the same school for about 3 months, Dean got up early enough to make two pots before they drove to school.

I taught him how one morning ;)

We see him pouring coffee from a motel room coffee pot in Salvation so, I'd say that's a big yes.

of course, because i fucking said so. :p

Yes, and this is why: Mommy!Dean.

I think Dean was the family "caretaker" from a loooong way back, and the painfully early competent child. This would have been one of so many things he knew how to do that most kids his age wouldn't or shouldn't.

danners, the general gist from room whatever the hell number this is is that yes, dean can use a coffee pot, if only because now there are coffee pots in hotel rooms.

otherwise, no, dean would be strictly a get the coffee and run kinda guy.

he knows HOW, he just. you know, likes diner coffee: it's faster, easier, better.

John taught his boys to be as self-sufficient as possible. That includes making coffee.

Dude. How can this even be a question? Dean built an EMF detector from a Walkman. He ostensibly repaired the Impala by himself. He was heating food up on the stove since he could reach it. Of course he can make coffee. In fact, I suspect any time they stayed in a house instead of a hotel that Dean made the family coffee every morning, or set the timer on it and made it the night before.
