    This video amazed me in a few ways. 1. James Hoffman is a master tasting teacher. He's VERY good at what he's doing here. I'm so impressed because I've seen a few of his other videos and wasn't impressed by him at all. I'll have to revisit. 2. Knowing Tom (in the weird parasocial way I think I do) and knowing coffee, this is actually incredibly entertaining. I'm hanging on your every word and cheering you on in your journey, Tom!!! 3. It's going to be really tragic when Tom realizes how bad most coffee out there is.

    I love how- I mean, obviously- devoted James is. However, I think in watching him and his teaching to Tom without pressure- is an amazing tool. He has such a pure passion, and his ability to teach like this is purely amazing beyond words. Tom- as always- is eager to learn and to teach the same, but I like that neither of them assume it all here. James aims to hopefully discover something in Tom that Tom once thought could not be certain- and Tom listens very intensely. Both amazing examples of learners and teachers, and watching their interactions and genuine interest in their experience truly is special. Sometimes, people do rock! I've watched James for a while now, less so Tom, but I am continually enamored with the prospect that people still DO love these experiences so deeply. Plus, James's teaching method is calmly emphatic- and he knows the nuances he's teaching like he's sitting in your experiences or curiosity just the same. That's a teacher, and someone who isn't afraid to let themselves become a student all over again to experience the magic.

    As someone who has spent a lot of my life working with coffee and has invested a lot of my time in learning about it, this video was such a treat to watch, and it taught me a great deal about how to walk someone through the process of understanding coffee. I love this. Thank you.

    I would totally pay for an experience like this at a roaster. Kind of a guided cupping of their coffees, based around your preferences (or not), and then picking out a coffee to take home and getting to try it in multiple brew methods - this would be so fun.

    I’ve done this with friends who come over; it’s wholesome family fun!. Sometimes not even changing the brew implements or the coffee. With something like Aeropress, I will vary the grinder setting, or the water temperature, or the brew time, and come out with noticeably different tasting coffees…at which they are often so surprised!

    Some roasters (especially small, local ones) actually do this, and often for free! Because they want you to try out and buy their coffees. Often they do internal tastings (for quality control or because they have something new) and maybe they'll invite you over for one. Ask them!

    8:20 "clearly my palette has changed" From what I remember, humans evolved a natural aversion to bitterness during childhood as a protection from poisons, and that aversion is lost at some point during the transition into adulthood. It's a big part of why children are so opposed to consuming vegetables, coffee, and other more bitter foods, while adults are not.

I myself only use coffe as a stimulant to get through the afternoon at work and am now seriously considering, after viewing lots of James' videos, to get an aeropress and a Trade Coffee subscription (at least if they were shipping to Europe the US-centric fools 😆). If only 10% of viewers reconsidered there stance on coffee like I'm doing, and only 1% of those actually turn into coffee fans, then there are now 1000 more people hooked on coffee (and many more subscribed to James' channel 😂)
