This was a much longer video than expected: please enjoy half an hour of people being interested in coffee (and 70 seconds of advertising which helped pay for it all)!
-
Imagine if at the end James was like "Tom you pretentious twat they're all Nescafe"
-
imagine the disappointment when Tom discovers that most cafes around the world pale in comparison to a private tasting session with James Hoffmann
-
I’m 99% sure James is Toms alternative timeline where he liked coffee as a kid
-
Just spent 30 minutes watching two British men, who both look simultaneously 50 and 20, taste coffee together Life well spent
-
Thanks for having me on the channel, it was so much fun to have coffee and chat, and you being so open to trying, tasting and talking your way through the weird world of coffee makes this a really great video to watch. (I hope you’re still ordering decaf espressos on the regular!)
-
This series should be called: “Tom Scott writes off his weekends as a business expense”
-
"Just say coffee person... youtube.... weirdo" - James Hoffmann, winner of the 2007 World Barista Championship
-
My favorite ambiguously aged YouTubers
-
He's just tasting coffee but it somehow feels like a gameshow. "Is it.. more bitter?" "It IS more bitter! Correct. Next round."
-
What a great teacher - introducing someone to their passion without being condescending, and evidently taking pride in sharing what they love. Every hobby needs people like this as ambassadors
-
Tom went from second-guessing himself to be very excited about telling his thoughts. So wholesome!
-
Never heard of James Hoffman, but I have to say I'm super, super impressed by this introductory format. Well thought out, informative, exciting, and never overwhelming. Forget coffee knowledge, James seems to be an excellent teacher.
-
The moment Tom says "I like coffee now" makes me smile for some reason
-
I'm glad James isn't a supervillain because that was a masterclass in planning and manipulating expectations. I saw that cheeky grin when it was all working out!
-
Seeing Tom’s mind getting blown away every single sip he takes is so refreshing. James looks like he is genuinely excited about getting some who isn’t into coffee to drink coffee is so entertaining.
-
James Hoffmann is, and I don't use this expression lightly, a class act. As a fan of both Tom and James' channels, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, and as someone who has a high sensitivity to caffeine and doesn't drink coffee often, I loved every second of this.
-
Now Im jealous of anyone that has enough clout to say “Hmm I think i’ll try X” and then get introduced to it by the premier subject matter expert while getting paid for it. Well done, Tom. Been a fan of both of yours for a long time.
-
can we talk about James' presentation skills? He's an excellent teacher and explains things well
-
For those unaware, James is a former barista world champion and a coffee expert despite his humility. Literally stood up and cheered when Tom noticeably turned into a coffee lover after the espresso shot. James' lightest touch begs his interlocutors curiosity, and Tom was a great sport in his coffee adventure. Love it.
