About

Hi! My name is James, and I make videos about anything and everything to do with coffee, occasionally food and sometimes business/entrepreneurship. I create how-tos, guides, reviews, vlogs, video essays and mini-documentary films. In the real world, I've started a few companies, I wrote "The World Atlas of Coffee" and "How To Make The Best Coffee At Home". I do a little advisory work for startups too. If you want to get in touch, drop me a line but please read these two things first: 1. I don't do paid reviews. I have a Patreon that helps me buy the products I want to review to prevent bias (then I give them away!) 2. I get a lot of email, so sadly I can't help with queries about which equipment you should buy. TO GET IN TOUCH PLEASE REACH OUT VIA WEBSITE: https://www.jameshoffmann.co.uk/contact-me Management: Ziggurat XYZ
