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.

Video Description

This one has been a long time coming, and even at this run time I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface. As I said, we didn’t touch on the apps because apps cause me emotional pain most of the time. (Also, we didn’t want to make a 2 hour video...). *We unfortunately managed to leave out the Gaggia Accademia UX/UI review from this edit so if you're interested in that, we have uploaded it separately here: https://youtu.be/zgybPrP1YJA Here’s the links to the machines we tested: Melitta Barista TS: https://international.melitta.de/en/Product-world-12630,,144176,detail.html De'Longhi Dinamica Plus: https://www.delonghi.com/en-gb/dinamica-plus-fully-automatic-coffee-machine-ecam370-85-sb/p/ECAM370.85.SB Gaggia Accademia: https://www.gaggia.com/automatic-machines/accademia/ Siemens EQ9: https://www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com/uk/productlist/coffee-machine/automated-freestanding/eq9-fully-automatic-bean-to-cup-coffee-machine Jura Z10: https://jura-z10.com/en_uk/ Miele CM7750: https://www.miele.co.uk/e/countertop-coffee-machine-cm-7750-coffeeselect-obsidian-black-10969350-p Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 2:53 Espresso testing 17:33 Milk drink testing 25:45 User interface and build testing 33:17 Concluding thoughts Related videos: How To Dial In a Bean To Cup (Like A Nerd): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6yWOyNq0uw “Coffee Expert” Reacts to Brad Pitt’s Weird Coffee Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvlh8Bh-QQA Links: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jameshoffmann Limited Edition Merch: https://www.tenshundredsthousands.com My Books: The World Atlas of Coffee: http://geni.us/atlasofcoffee The World Atlas of Coffee Audiobook: https://bit.ly/worldatlasofcoffeeaudio The Best of Jimseven: https://geni.us/bestofjimseven Find me here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimseven Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/jimseven Things I use and like: My video kit: https://kit.co/jimseven/video-making-gear My current studio coffee kit: https://kit.co/jimseven/studio-coffee-kit My glasses: http://bit.ly/boldlondon My hair product of choice: https://geni.us/forthehair
