☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!

Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

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.

I really love watching ARAMSE and Brian Quan, they have a lot of knowledge about coffee and are very entertaining at the same time.

I also enjoy watching The Real Sprometheus. He is more focused on espresso hardware, which is a topic that doesn't really interest me that much, but I still find his videos interesting.

James Hoffman is inevitable

Emilee Bryant is worth a shout, they used to do mainly latte art videos but have branched out over their recent uploads.

Of course if you're watching James, you must also be watching Hames

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

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.

hames

Well, I didn't know these existed, and now I'm forced to waste the next several hours watching them. Thanks.

Hames Joffmann, the number one Coffee youtuber. Also, remember to enable the subtitles if you’re into IPA.
