Watching this in April. If only James knew - when he said HOW unpredictable the world truly is!
Came here to say this.
James, with your skills at making the World Atlas of Coffee and your video editing chops I'm more than confident you'll put out a great documentary.
I predicted that his hair gets even nice this year. I was right.
And it will progressively get nicer year after year until the heat death of the universe
It's the coffee.
H a i r
I want to see a partnership between James and Kalita to produce the Hoffman Wave
"I don't know whether to do a predictions video for 2020."
- smart move here, James, very smart move!
So happy about high growth to 170k subscribers and now one year later it’s 500k more 😊
Closing in on a mil now. Dude's taking off like a rocket. **Bezos laugh**
This has been probably my favorite RUclips channel this past year.
Looking forward to the documentary!
I miss the cool music at the end that lets me enjoy your good wishes before an ad pops up. I always like to hear that sincere tone in your voice wishing me a good day :)
James, I predict you'll do excellently with your mini documentary...most if not all of what you do is high quality, well thought through and always engaging. Personally can't wait!
Not sure if you'll read this James, but i'd like to see your insights into alternative milks and how they affect traditional espresso based drinks (flavour, texture ect)
Human milk and various other mammals maybe.
@@YPO6 that good for coffee unlike almond
"The world feels so unpredictable '.... On jan 4. James has a serious gut feeling for things.
I predicted a significant improvement in the background set pieces, while keeping costs low. The shelves look great, and affordable
Where are they from?
This is the best channel I found in 2019.
I have no doubts at all about your ability to bring your unique voice and perspective to a documentary project. It's quite evident that all of this is meaningful to you, and I think that's why you've seen the growth that you have.
You have a considered, honest and savvy approach to the videos you've been making for the past few years, even the early vlogs!, and the strides you been making in production value, focused, highly entertaining, and educational content in 2019 have been brilliant.
Thank you James.
Unsolicited idea for the channel:
I saw a picture online about baking, a series of photos explaining what putting too much of one ingredient in a cookie recipe. I would love a similar style “troubleshooting” video to help an absolute beginner like me trouble shoot what I’m doing wrong.
I like wine and cigars so I’ve taught myself how to taste, I just need it explaining to me what increase in acidity would be due to for example, or a stale taste in fresh coffee.
I feel that with this video I would be developing the basic skills to apply to start standardising my overall method and technique so I can then add more variables like grind fineness, different blends and eventually water mineral content.
Love the channel, your presenting style and the edit, stylish and interesting. Keep it up!
Can’t wait to see how your ambitious plans turn out this year, it’s been so exciting to get involved in the coffee world thanks to you. Have a great 2020 start!
Your videos are very much appreciated here! Sometimes informative, sometimes funny and from time to time hilarious 🤣
But it's always a pleasure to hear you talking and sharing your thoughts with us 😁
So a big "Thank you" from The Netherlands 🙏🏼
I think a number of those who voted yes to a 2020 prediction video (myself included) are just keen for as much content as possible. There are surprisingly few channels that discuss the world of coffee in as much detail, while staying clear and digestible, as this one.
I’d be extremely excited for a James Hoffmann Coffee documentary, definitely hope that’s something you pursue in the (near) future.
Thanks for all the great videos.
I'm really hoping for an increase in quality manual grinders and ROK style espresso presses this year, although it may still be too niche of a sector.
Looking forward to see your 2020 vid!
Instead of having a prediction for 2020, I'd be interested in what you've found most interesting about coffee in 2019.
Agree. Choosing about eight to ten very interesting and widely available coffees (across Europe and the globe as there’s no point to point out the ultra rare beans reserved almost exclusively for competitions) and explaining why they are so noteworthy would be a lovely inspiration for forthcoming brews. Also, I would love to watch a deeper analysis of omnipresent latte art obsession; in my view, this mania is particularly appaling (result is almost universally thin, watery and uninteresting cappuccino even in the very serious coffee shops around Europe). When doing cappuccino, cafe latte, or flat white myself, the pretty picture is rather secondary to me and mere a by-product of perfectly steamed and poured (velvety, smooth, silky) milk. I am afraid there’s no end to this in a foreseeable future though.
Why not both? 😁
James, I would REEALLY like to see some home roasting vids in 2020, please.
As someone who just started roasting in an air popper I would love this!
Agree. I'd like to look at very small batch (250g) home roasting
@@tonyjoe5707 I mean, my airpop can handle MAYBE 90g per batch, so your definition of "very small" and mine are different.
Agree!
Me too! In 8oz Whirly-pop batches, please.
Mr. Hoffmann. I've discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I literally devoured as many videos as I could since. As a coffee lover I was light-years away to think how ignorant I was about this world. So I wanted to thank you for all the precious information you are providing and I will thoroughly follow you for the years to come. I also like your very British way of presenting things as a french like me could say. Have a successful, peaceful and delightful new year. Chris.
Good to know you are pleased! This means another good months with my addiction to this channel indulged! Thanks! Have an excellent 2020!!!
Still 170k seem like just a few given the quality of the content you are putting out. 👌🏻✨
Watching your original world champion clip was my personal inspiration to turn my love for coffee into becoming a barista, and 2019 was the year I stumbled across the full channel. Thank you for a year of incredible content and great information. 2020 is the year I hope to finally open my own cafe (as well as getting into roasting if all works well) and I look forward to another year of wonderful content. The coffee community owes you one James!
Fyi, in case you're curious where your subscribers came from, I saw you first on a chef steps Moka pot video. They introduced you as a coffee expert so I checked out your channel to see how deep you can really get into coffee expertise. I quickly subscribed and started watching your vids as they popped up, even if the title didn't particularly interest me. I kept finding that I learned more than I thought I would and that the topics went in directions that I didn't predict. This is why I'm still here and watch just about everything you put out. Fast forward to now and my coffee hobby has grown and changed in no small part thanks to you. I appreciate all your hard work and the effort you put in that we don't see. Thanks teacher!
Thanks James! I’m excited for what 2020 holds for you and this channel. The idea of you making a documentary is highly intriguing and I have full faith that you’ll do a great job.
I just found your channel and I can't get enough of it. I love your candor and your passion for coffee.
Oh yes, please do a documentation. I joined your community at the beginning of 2019 and I really enjoy your videos James! Theres everything right in your videos: camera settings, environment, your hair ;) and I really love your calming voice man.
Stay healthy, cheers!
An exciting year ahead I feel.
A personal thank you for all of your videos. I’ve bean(see what I did there) a coffee roaster for a just over 2 years now working in a commercial business. Your videos have helped me immensely. As a self taught roaster and barista in training your videos are a godsend. They have enabled me to find my own style with a greater depth of understanding.
Not just that but you’re videos have helped me maintain my sanity while packing kilo after kilo of coffee. 😂.
Happy new year and all the best for 2020.
I’m excited to see what this year will bring.
I started watching your videos a few months back and you have changed my views on coffee, thought I new about coffee but you opened my eyes, I was a die hard espresso fan but with learning your ways of french press and V60 have made my love of coffee even bigger. I just want to learn and taste lots of new coffees, thank you and keep up the great work.
I discovered you early last year and I've enjoyed every video of yours... especially how fair you are in terms of product placements and being honest to your viewers. You deserve every subscriber you have. I hope to see more quality content in the following months!
Happy new year!
Of the many channels I sub to, yours is one of the few that gets attention when you upload a new video. Always quality. Always the video where you stop playing on your phone and just watch.
Just found this channel recently and have gone through quite a few of your videos already. Safe to say, it really rekindled my love for coffee and help me get back on the coffee train so to speak haha. Glad to have found it at the start of the year! Looking forward to seeing more of your content!
I jumped onboard your channel this year. You indirectly revived my Rancilio Silvia that has been gathering dust the last couple of years. I find myself getting up 30 minutes earlier to make coffee to drink while going to work :) Now I'm on the lookout for a new "budget" grinder. I'm seriously tempted by the Niche Zero but it is a tad pricey >.
Thank you for all of the great things you've put together in 2019! You're a big part of what has been keeping my coffee enthusiasm going for well over 10 years now and I keep learning and learning! I really appreciate how you mix the two perspectives of the business side on the one hand and the home consumer on the other. Keep doing what you love and I'm really looking forward to the documentary and everything else! Best wishes for 2020!
You (and your team) are doing such wonderful things for bringing the world of coffee to a wider audience. Congrats on 2019. Heres to 2020!
Articulate, informed , experienced, handsome, interesting, what's not to love. Great quality programming, James. Your production value is spot on ; you'll produce a great documentary. All the best for 2020.
Crushing it as always James!! Its been so nice to see you transition from blog to vlog. Really enjoying your voice on coffee
I love your enthusiasm and honesty. I know it’s hard work but its worth it. Thank you.
I like all your content, so not mad about not being entirely review based. That being said, I don't know of any good, consistent consumer level coffee review channels, particularly those that are consistently reviewing consumer level espresso machines and grinders and such (that aren't also trying to sell you that same gear) to help average home baristas make buying decisions. I think there'd be a market for that (though I don't think I'll be the one to fill it haha)
Seattle Coffee Gear is selling the items they review but they are honest and offer gear at all price levels.
Kris Kjellquist They overstate capabilities of machines frequently. Gail also just makes up machine specs on the fly sometimes and is very wrong. Plus, how can you trust someone whose espresso making techniques are so awful?
@@kriskjellquist1758 their "crew reviews" are more like "overviews," at best. All they do is tell you the specs of a machine and show you what it looks like.
They're not entirely useless by any means and Ive watched heaps of them, but they're far from an actual full "review". And since they sell them they're never gonna tell you not to buy it, even though there might be something else that's definitely more worth your money.
Agreed, they're not the best reviews out there, but there aren't really any better. Whole latte love feels to me to be in the same vein, a store trying to make their stock look good. I'm trying to find the lowest cost good grinder that will do an espresso grind, and the reviews are cluttered with people who have machines with pressurised porta-filters and don't know better. Sure, my machine also came with pressurised, but I want to move on and up, but it's hard and expensive to do.
@@truckerallikatuk best low cost grinder I've found is by far the Breville Smart Grinder Pro ($179 AUD). I'm running it next to a Nuova Simonelli Oscar II.
I was going to buy the Barazza Sette 270 ($430 AUD) from my local coffee shop but when I went to buy it, he advised me that they have had 5 in for repair in the last month, none of them heaps old and all of them with warn out plastiv housing where the burrs sit. Plus the Wi versions scales stoped working. They no longer stock the Sette as they didn't feel comfortable selling it. He pointed to the Compak K5 that they sell for $500 AUD, but said quite honestly, unless you have the money to burn and no real prospects for upgrading in the future, you're better served with the Breville Smart Grinder Pro and then waiting until you have $800-1000 to drop on something better. He thought everything in between would be pretty small difference better spent, upgrading to the Pullman Precision system (which I did, and love).
James I joined this year and have loved it. I started a coffee phase and you have made it so easy to keep this interest going.
♥ What you do James, Your videos are such great quality big fan from Australia
Thanks for all you do! I just got (back) into coffee since October and your videos have been educational, inspiring and just an all around pleasure to watch. Looking forward to more videos and the documentary!
Wow. Hoping for 100 000 subscribers in 2019, looking at this in 2021 just about to reach 1 million. Congratulations, definitely effort and perseverance paying off. Also good call about prediction video in 2020 as we saw how it went. Would've been almost impossible to make good predictions.
really looking forward to the mini-documentary. always know the content and quality from you will be amazing. all the best and i'm sure there will be plenty of great content for 2020!
Thank you. All the best in every year. We are watching you......
It's rare for folks in the public-eye follow up on their predictions. That takes some guts and a passion for their craft. Thanks for the great content!
I've been watching James's videos in order from ~2015 on, and let me tell you, I am/was very much looking forward to his predictions for 2020.
Your passion for coffee has definitely rubbed off on me and I loved watching your videos this year. Love any technique videos you do, always pushes me to experiment 😉💪
Keep up the good work James! I love seeing every new video you make.
I find it funny/ironic that the world felt so chaotic, that you were questioning doing a 2020 prediction video. If we had only known what was about to come...
Thanks for you videos James.
This is not a prediction but a wish: I hope that the transparency.coffee impulse will grow in 2020.
Love your videos. And you!!
By the way - I got the Aeropress GO and I absolutely LOVE it!
Mostly because of the aesthetics - it’s so wonderful how it packs together into this tiny beautiful bundle.
Love the documentary idea! Thanks for great content and good luck for 2020!
It's insane that you had 150k subs in January 2020. You went from that to 750k and counting in little more than a year. I'm glad that that much people is getting involved into specialty coffee
Thanks for the excellent content in 2019. Best wishes for 2020. Looking forward to it!
Hell yeah! I thought you were a nerd when I first saw your channel but I was hooked after the first one. Happy for you, James. Looking forward to seeing what you do this year. Happy 2020!
It’s great that You are going to make some documentary! For me your espresso history is one of the best videos here. More coffee history for me. Have a great year;)
Hyped to see all of your videos this year!
I don't even enjoy coffee, I just enjoy watching and listening to you.
Congrats on your channel's success. Fully deserved
Best wishes for 2020 to you too! And best of luck with the mini-documentary!!
A big YES for the documentary, keep it going James!
I’m super stoked for that mini documentary that you have planned! I think that with your style of connecting, you’ll actually be quite good at it. I see June-Sept-ish 2020 being a great time to be a viewer!
As a brew reviewer, I would be interested in your approach to how you locate your most ideal tasting notes. Do you tend to stick to one coffee or multiple? What do you think of Tasting Wheels? Also how would you explain/educate the basics of coffee to someone outside of the coffee world?
Even some sort of vlogging when you travel or how your typical coffee brewing time looks like.
You do know you underestimate your skills of making videos, interresting material and making interesting stories? Its absolutely delicious.
And I, as many here; once they hit your channel, coffee experience changed, coffee habits changed, coffee interrest and knowledge changed and expanded. In a relaxed, pleasent, fun way.
You're doing fine James! 💪👌 Cheers,
Came across your channel from the Ikea coffee stuff video. Started working as a barista last year. Loving all of your content.
Congrats on the channel growth, you completely deserve it.
I have subscribed to your channel to learn English. Now I started to drink coffee...
James, great stuff! Have a fantastic 2020!
Love your videos, can't wait for more. I now show a couple of them to my GCSE Business pupils.
Looking forward to the documentary !!!
And thanks for making so many awesome videos, review videos and tutorial videos.
I just bought myself a V60 and the Hario hand grinder a few weeks back and planning to get an Aeropress soon!
That is after I learn to control my brewing parameters to a more consistent state.
I HAD FUN!! thx James!
> Gets stoked about 150k subs. >5 months later has almost 450k subs.
Keep killin' it, Hoff!
Mini documentary -- very much looking forward to this!
Great work throughout 2019! Really enjoying the channel. The idea of a documentary sounds great - best of luck with it.
Loved your work this year. Long may it continue. Congratulations on your success.
Happy 2020 and a great new decade. Lots of exciting coffee thing’s coming.
Thx for all your videos. They are very very good. You have a knack for this!
Thank you for your coffee techniques and informative videos. My mornings are better.
All of your success is well deserved, James. Wonderful content and wonderful work
I trust you and support your ambitions. I love that patreon is a thing now and how it contributes to supporting work like yours. Longer form analysis (whether we name it documentary or not) is well within the wheelhouse of your competencies. I support it. I want that also please.
Your RUclips videos are better than ok James, I’m looking forward watching this documentary when it’s available. Watching this in June 2020 your decision not to post a predictions video based on world wide uncertainty seems extraordinarily, almost ironically prescient! Keep up the quality content, it’s fuelling my developing interest in coffee and it’s potential - many thanks
You've been making great videos throughout 2019, but could i ask for more weird and wacky videos like the IKEA one?
The next video is not going to be very serious
@@jameshoffmann thank you!
c h o n k y b o i
oh agreed!! totally
Brandon Crabtree same!
Happy new year! Looking forward to seeing more content this 2020. Best of luck to your channel!
I love your videos! Constantly trying to tell friends about them if they are getting into/already love coffee!
Looking forward to that documentary, whatever it may be!
A predictions video for 2020 will be worth it. Even if it's totally wrong, the debate and eventual analysiswill be good. I'd like your help to find the lowest cost grinder that can do espresso grind. My current grinder (a severin burr grinder) is fine for pressurised portafilters with a nice consistent grind, but just plain won't go fine enough for non-pressurised. Also maybe some guides on making low end equipment perform when it (or its owner) doesn't have all the tools to work that out. Love the work, it's really good stuff. And try the documentary, the worst you can do is fail. You never know, it could be awesome!
I think you have the perfect style for a short documentary! I believe in you!
Love your content, your my favorite RUclips coffee guy (does that make sense?) and I look forward to seeing more of your videos and doc!
Congrats on a great 2019. Looking forward to 2020!
This really aged well...
Hi James, love how the channel is growing, only inevitable with the frequent quality content, congrats! What I would find interesting is a prediction over a longer timespan than a year. So much random shit can happen in a year. A couple of years will also allow for broader prediction which I deem will be more interesting. Love to hear your thoughts on it.
you have definitely sparked a passion for great tasting coffee in me over the past year. thank you for that
Thanks for the coffee inspiration and vibes you send out James.
I would love to see an exploration on different origin, maybe others would too?
I would definitely make a 2020 predictions video. It doesn't matter whether you end up right or wrong as you simply briefly explain why you made the prediction and how it turned out at the end of the year. I enjoy that.
Ah yes ! So happy to hear that youre planning to make a mini documentary Id really like to see some more exploratory coffee videos with you
👏👏 Documentary, can wait.
Looking forward to the mini documentary...I'm sure it'll be quality like the rest of your content.
Good luck on your documentary! Looking forward for jim Hoffman in 2020
Love your channel so much! You seem like such a kind person ✨
Watching this in December 2020. He says that the world is so unpredictable in January 2020. James Hoffman of Jan 4 2020, you just made the understatement of the decade.
