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.

We made this a couple of years ago, but the idea was to make something evergreen. However, it would also be remiss not to note that there is a new edition of The World Atlas of Coffee, which makes a lovely gift. There are a few signed copies left in the US warehouse here: us.tenshundredsthousands.com/products/the-world-at…
Also, signed copies for everyone else are here: shop.squaremilecoffee.com/products/the-world-atlas…

We made a coffee cup! I know a lot of folk don't enjoy Shorts (I can't argue with you), so may have missed this announcement. We debated on making this a normal video, but it didn't seem worth it for something quite short.
The print on it is a single-run, limited-edition print, but the shape will be around for a while!

Also, we are working on some solutions for the places we're currently unable to ship to. We wish global logistics was a little easier than it is!

Finally, this video features the single most awful mug that I own...

I really did enjoy this cocktail! (And getting the opportunity to have Kevin make me several other delicious things that evening was an absolute treat.) I want to mess around with concentrated Guinness more because the flavour was so interesting!

I was delighted to play a small part in this delightful video. If you're interested in cooking, the history of fine dining, molecular gastronomy, coffee, tea, recipe development, edible pond scum and more - then I strongly recommend checking it out. ‪@ChrisYoungCooks‬ is making incredible videos, so if you've any interest in food at all then subscribing is a very sensible thing to do.

Live now on the second channel - ‪@JamesHoffmannBonus‬ - is a longer cut of the interview I did with Matthew Mills for the Celebrity Coffee video. We'll try and make sure longer cuts of interviews end up on this channel (after they go to Patreon first). That and other fun little bits too!
(Also - apologies for the auto focus issue on the camera point at me on this one - won't happen again!)

STATE OF ESPRESSO 2024!

If you make espresso, at home or at work, then I'd be incredibly grateful if you could share some information about how you're brewing coffee at the link above.

It's a quick survey, a couple of minutes max.
I last compiled this data in 2015, so it will be fascinating to see how things change. Please share if you can!

We created a new (slightly absurd) coffee brand! Why would I do this? It was for this video, which I think offers some really interesting insights into how and why celebrities are jumping into coffee and who is really sourcing and roasting the coffee for them.
