Am I the only one whose takeaway is that James Hoffman is a good man with a good heart and the kind of teacher I would have liked for myself or for my kids. In a world gone mad with angry, power-hungry trolls (I'm in the USA, so feeling that particularly hard lately), it's therapeutic to watch someone with a generous humble demeanor displaying both expertise and respect to the audience. Rather than saying the world could use more James Hoffmans right now, I'll just say look for the James Hoffmans in your life. You'll be better for it.

I hope we can get some statistics on which processes people liked more, and maybe some analysis based on people's regular taste preferences?

My main takeaway - expect better decaf! As someone who moved off caffeinated coffee a while back - I think I've always thought that decaf is a little worse, but it isn't! Thanks for organising James - it has honestly been so informative and helped me to feel content in my decaf life.

Watching this 24 hours after the fact, because timezones and life commitments. Just wanted to drop a message to James and the team behind the scenes (including the 60 unnamed roasters) - Congratulations on pulling this international tasting off.

Thanks for doing this. I did this with my whole family this evening. We all had fun. It's amazing to see the different tastes in the family. My favourite was my wife's least favourite. I bought from 2 Different Roasters here in Australia. Well done on all the logistics. That must have been mammoth. I found it fascinating that I found such a difference between roasters. Well done to Sample Coffee Roasters. Love your work.

We did blind cup, and I have to say, the EA/sugarcane was my favorite, and I would agree... a bit more fruity and maybe a bit sweet. I was glad we did blind because I think I would have been biased. BTW, I was blown away that my least favorite was the regular caf.
