The Manument: The Swiss Watch Of Lever Espresso Machines

I just wanted to say: giving this to a Patreon supporter prior to the video releasing so it doesn't cause an artificial (but surely profitable) rush to your Patreon is total class. You're a class act James Hoffmann. Enjoyed seeing this wild machine, and appreciate all the help you've given me and many others on their coffee journeys.

What impressed me above all else is the silence of the machine. No sound of boiling water, no buzzing electric pump. Just the silent flow of espresso. It's almost magical. I can imagine why this would be worth it to someone who can afford it.

James, as someone with a hard of hearing partner I just want to express my appreciation that you always have perfect subtitles available at the time of upload. So many creators don’t. Thank you!

I know it's incredibly silly of me to say, but I was really pleased when I heard that the thing that costs almost what I earn in a year actually makes good coffee.

I love how you approach it as an actual product: features, innovation, what you enjoy and how it makes your life better. A $20k coffee machine could easily be approached the snarky clickbaity "you won't believe how much this costs" route.

I've watched up to 4 video's now... I don't even like or drink coffee. This man is so good at what he does.

Why am i watching this at 1am... It costs more than my car is worth...

Watching this, having just made a flat white with a £50 DeLonghi machine that's so loud and violent it sounds like a jackhammer hitting my kitchen counter, feels wrong.

5:30 There's just something aesthetically bizarre about grinding your beans in a reflecting telescope and then pulling a shot from a giant microscope

My gosh this man is so classy. I had a feeling he would keep to his word and give it away but to give it away in this way is just awesome.
