This is the coffee fail AI trend, also called the funny coffee AI video or, in Spanish, the trend del café.
The origin: a 1982 ballad
The clips are AI-made, and no one has been credited with the first one. The thread you can verify is the sound.
"Con la misma piedra" is a song by Julio Iglesias. It's on Momentos, released by CBS in October 1982. The title comes from a Spanish saying: tropezar dos veces con la misma piedra, to trip twice on the same stone. Making the same mistake again. Which is exactly what happens in the kitchen.
The official video on JulioIglesiasVEVO, uploaded May 20, 2024, has 38.1M views as of November 8, 2026.
The October 2026 breakout
By late October 2026 the format was trending on Instagram Reels. On October 28, 2026, YouTube tutorials started teaching it as the "trending funny coffee AI video", naming "Con la misma piedra" as the song. Early versions put famous pairs in the kitchen.
The latest: your own duo
By November 6, 2026, tutorials were pitching it for couple photos. The joke works with anyone: partners, siblings, roommates. And pets. Two dogs failing at coffee is somehow funnier.
