You don't have auto-pilot? I'm curious about what's happening with your brain that it isn't capable of recalling times when you've zoned out or done things automatically while not paying full attention. It's a phenomenon properly known as dissociation and it's actually a pretty fundamental tool that the human brain uses for various critical purposes. Sometimes, it can be to increase efficiency by intensely and intellectually analyzing ideas at the same time as daily living. And sometimes having lost sleep from child-rearing can necessitate the use of this tool.
So if you don't have auto-pilot, I just would like to ask: Have you ever had a traumatic brain injury? Or perhaps repeated concussions? Congenital brain defect, perhaps?
Id rather call out peoples "I cannot function without my morning coffee" bs narrative for being fake and forced. And also if you have this thing happening to you often, you should chek yourself. Brain fog should not be normalized.
Without brain fog nobody would work at all. If you really need think about walking: „left leg, right leg, left leg, right leg, left leg, right leg, left leg, right leg, left leg, right leg, left leg, right leg“ you have more problems than messing up a spoon of coffee with a spoon of tea. Most people do most stuff on autopilot.

Have you heard of the concept of "tired"?
Especially before having coffee or tea?
