Is The Best Espresso In The World Being Made At Home?

I don't think you and your team are taking enough credit for this change. You managed to gather over 2.2 million subscribers and make people interested in this, educating and keeping it all fun. The pandemic also had a lot of people thinking about how they get their coffee and suddenly make them interested at getting it at home and making it "as good" as coffee shops.

I've said this for a while now, 'cafe quality' espresso is no longer the gold standard. No cafe can compete with a nerdy home barista who takes 10 minutes to make a single milk drink.

The last time I was this early , it was underextracted

Oh my. So much agreement. I actually made an unfiltered rant about this some months ago. Absolutely fantastic video. Thank you for addressing it in ways I never could eloquently ha!

The best coffee drinks I have are made at home. Thanks to people like James here my coffee game is so much better than my local cafe.

You have to give yourself some credit for this, I live in india and in the pursuit of better coffee I decided to check into the Indian subreddit for more indian roasted specialty coffee brands/roasters and everyone there calls you daddy hoffmann. You are definitely part and a big reason for this change.

Babe wake up, Fourth wave coffee just dropped

All I know is you’re the reason I exclusively make pour over coffee and buy from local roasters. And it’s one of the best gifts YouTube has given me. I don’t go full coffee nerd, but enough to get a really good consistent cup

Cafe owner here, been in the industry since '07. I've seen this shift happen over the last few years and one of the biggest indicators for me has been how much retail coffee I sell. it's doubled in the last year alone. Tons of folks come are spending the same amount of money in the cafe but now it's a beverage and a bag of beans every five days or so rather than a drink every day.

I for years had a coffee machine at home and was always disappointed I couldn't get it to taste like a cafe espresso. I thought you just had to be a gifted baristar and understand a bunch of mythical brewing skills and have proper commercial equipment........and then I stumbled across your channel. Armed with your coffeescience wisdoms, I have transformed my once mediocre espresso into a very tasty drink! Unfortunately it's turned into a bit of an obsession now, but therapy is dealing with that😁
