Obviously, we all love James, but is there anyone else you subscribe to?
Personally, I watch Lance Hedrick. I like what he does, but his vids tend to be super nerdy, so might not be everyone’s cup of tea
World champion barista James Hoffmann
Very expressive, with his posh British accent, and seems very respectable.
On the other hand, the phrase “coffee snob” comes to mind.
Not that this is a problem with Mr. Hoffmann alone, but with the whole internet coffee discussion.
For most of us, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with supermarket pre-ground coffee.
There’s no real need to buy beans roasted within the last hour to gently spoon into a USD$300 coffee grinder to get a decent cup of joe.
If I want to know what supermarket brands are decent, I shouldn’t be ridiculed for not approaching peak coffee.
Of course if you’re watching James, you must also be watching Hames
Who?
Thanks. I’m not sure I’m serious enough for a regular series of coffee but on first look:
- he’s very personable and entertaining
- compilation video on fruitiness was hilarious
- taste test winner Tim Hortons? Wtf, definitely not the same as my taste, apologies to the Canucks in here.
If you weren’t already watching James Hoffman, then Hames Joffman may not be the place to start… the latter is an unauthorised parody account, although apparently James is aware and not bothered
It’s authorized! Hames reached out and got James’s consent to publish the parodies. On his subreddit he even endorsed the channel, and in one of the longer Q&A youtube videos he mentioned Hames as well and even posted the link.
James seems to be a good guy all through.
James Hoffman is inevitable
James?
My friend, you are one of today’s lucky 10,000. Check out James Hoffman. He’s great!
