A Cuban man has taken TikTok by storm after sharing a video that captures an amusing challenge in his new American life: using an electric coffee maker for the first time. The man's nervous yet humorous reaction has sparked a flurry of comments and reactions across social media.
The video, posted on the TikTok account @reinaldo9303cubano, features the man in his kitchen as he attempts to operate the automatic coffee machine for the first time. From the get-go, he appears visibly anxious and bewildered by the device's functionality. "Compadre, this is my first time doing this," he remarks while cautiously handling the machine.
The laughter of his partner, who records the entire process, echoes in the background as the man expresses both surprise and fear towards the unfamiliar technology. "What a fright I had," he exclaims during a tense moment. "I'm terrified of all this," he admits with clear unease, adding humorously, "This technology is too advanced for my brain, I'm shaking."
The clip has already amassed thousands of views and reactions on TikTok, drawing hundreds of comments from users who either relate to the experience or simply enjoy the delightful moment. "That happened to many of us when we arrived," one user commented, while another jokingly added, "Wait until he tries the Air Fryer, he'll pass out."
Adjusting to life in the United States presents a series of unexpected experiences for many Cubans who arrive in the country. Small details, such as using modern appliances, can turn into memorable anecdotes that highlight the cultural and technological differences between the two nations.
The video continues to garner interactions, underscoring that sometimes the simplest changes can elicit the most entertaining reactions. The best part? The coffee was eventually made, and the scare was left behind!
