Things I’d love to see personally:
- Your coffee travel setup (if you have one)
- And maybe, the way you pack for travel?
- How you research cafes to check out
- Thoughts on what each destination does best
- Thoughts on the general coffee culture in that city
I came here to say "Yes, I'd like to see more travel Videos". Then I read your post and now I'll just say "what he said".
Exactly this sir
Agreed. Travelogues are nice, but I really like learning something technical or cultural. Or, if you found some theme, especially for a multi stop trip.
Thanks for the excellent videos. I don’t watch many other coffee presenters because your vids are bot educational and so relaxing, I’m afraid everyone else will be shouting at me.
Yep, same ^
I will 5th? this? Since I’m the fifth comment? Is that how this works. Anyway, LOVE the travel stuff, and yes maybe some more thoughts on where you are and your coffee setup IF you have one.
James: show a solid 20 second beauty shots of dolce gusto.
Also James: "Oh no“
the best and worst dolce gusto commercial XD
@@lautbiru2884 No matter how good they market it, instant coffee is still instant coffee. Rather than buying an expensive machine like that, do a favor and buy a decent Moka Pot or French Press and you'll have better coffee for daily drinking.
@@kyrios0307 is dolce gusto instant coffee? I thought the capsule contains ground coffee, not instant coffee. But I agree with your point, manual brew is cheaper and better.
@@lautbiru2884 it's somewhat "instant". Point is, you pay premium price for a machine that produces low quality coffee. Any other coffee gadget costs way less than the Dolce Gusto machine and produce better coffee
Ini pasti orng indo 🤣🤣
Indonesian here, interesting to see hear your view of the indonesian coffee market. Yes, the common coffee trend in here goes more to the sweeter side. We kind of have a sweet tooth. Interesting note, so many people here use the ROK to pull the espresso for making the Kopi Susu.
The single origins are definitely around, just not as common.
Not that actual specialty doesn't exist. I can get fairly decent, recently-roasted 250g beans at... roughly 9 USD, I think. Selection is limited to only Indonesian origins of course, and I'm not sure how specific they are, but it's still fairly nice. Cheap burr grinder is 10~ USD, if you drink it traditionally you probably won't need french press (cheap ones can be as low as 10~ USD too if you're lucky).
Also, many stores has began to carry whole coffee beans, as opposed to pre-ground. And I don't mean big store - I mean independent convenience store, small supermarket, that sort of thing. Sure, they are all... not the best, but the fact they do it at all is a surprise. They usually never bother.
You can buy actual, brewed specialty coffee, but at 1> USD per cup imo it's generally not worth it, unless you want to try something new or you drink for socialization.
@@TheWeepingMan man, I think even 9 USD per 250gr is a bit too much for single origin coffee here.
I often buy some roasted specialty-coffee beans from online shops and cafe, they usually sells for about 4-7 USD per 250gr pack for decent ones like Arabica Sidikalang or Toraja, and even cheaper for robusta. The only beans that I think can reach above 9USD are probably Wine coffee, Luwak coffee and some other purposely process-modified coffee.
@@TheWeepingMan I think you're looking at the wrong place, there is a lot of great specialty place already in jkt/bdg and also a lot of great roasters. They charge more though, 18USD+ per 250g probably.
Yeah, 7 USD-ish. I still use the old rule of thumb where 10k IDR = 1 USD, sigh. I am not on Java unfortunately, but it's nice to know beans are also cheaper there.
Probably can't buy lot of 'em regardless, I prefer freshly-roasted beans :p
@@TheWeepingMan yeah, many stuffs will be cheaper in Java because most things would be shipped there first. But, where do you live? I think most main islands have their own specialty coffee, oftentimes multiple of them. Surely they should be cheaper on its source than in Java, aren't they?
Sometimes if you're lucky and try hard enough, you may find some good coffee from less recognized origins. I.e in North Sumatera the main sells are probably Mandheling and Sidikalang. But coffee from Samosir tastes nice too.
If you comb your hair in the other direction you'll become an extrovert.
This is true fact
hahshaha
Scientifically proven!
SO TRUE!
🤣
I am an American living and working in Indonesia, and I love the coffee here. My favorite is from Flores; you should try it. Everyone I talk to here that is into coffee also really enjoys coffee from Flores. Indonesia overall is an amazing country with a massively diverse people who are amongst the friendliest I have encountered in my travel life. You should definitely come back and spend more time here.
When Mr. James says.. "Kopi Susu" YES! 😄👍
Hi.. dr ray.. 😂
Bang dokter, bikin kunjungan balik ke sono gih 😉👍

Oh my God,,, i follow you both dr Ray and James
Being an Indonesian myself, I can say that the coffee market has been steadily gaining popularity these past years whether it be for specialty coffee or the more varying/fun versions of coffees (like the kopi susu etc). Interesting to hear your thoughts about Jakarta and didn't realise how different the accessibility for coffee is back home and here in the UK (currently studying here), I miss being able to order coffee with gojek/grab and have it by my door step in less than an hour.
Glad you enjoyed Jakarta! please do come back in the near future James :)
Absolutely, I agree. It was soo hard to find a flat white when I first came here... now it is a coffee lovers paradise 😍
Swimsuit Succubus coffee?
3:52 I always knew there were secretly 3 James. It's the only way he gets all this filming done on an insane schedule.
Makes sense for why he claims he's an introvert. He just always talks to himself
"It's probably a bad idea, right? It's a bad idea?"
*Inserts capsule*
James and his bad ideas, thanks for making me chuckle
Janice Yue I loved the fact it was filmed with the same artistic style and care as when showing more refined techniques!
And I was screaming nooooooo!😂
ABCD is an absolutely amazing name!
2:00 " I'll just wait. We'll get coffee later. " 😂🤣😂
So sincere so polite. 😆👍
The ABCD coffee school looks so fresh (and their auditorium at 2:09 really gives me Star Wars Death Star vibes)!
Apparently the design was directly inspired by by it!
YESSS! I came to the comments to say this also!!
...sorry for me it's the bridge in Trek hah
Man I’m always surprised at the quality of your shots. Those aerials at the beginning are awesome! Thanks for the update James! I just got my first batch of square mile coffee this morning. I picked up the sweet shop and had one of the best lattes I’ve ever had.
Thank you and I'm delighted you are enjoying it!
James Hoffmann Is the event you’re going to in Portland a public one? I’d love to come hear you speak.
I don't know yet - it will be during the big SCA show, but I have no idea if that stuff is confirmed or not yet.
James Hoffmann where will you be in New York!?
Indonesian here. Commonly, in order to stay on business, almost all coffee shops in Indonesia rely on ice milk-based coffee beverage to stay in business. Fortunately, for small coffee shops, they always exploring with local coffee beans and give coffee lovers a wide-range of single origin coffee, especially pour over or filter (V60). For this typical coffee shops, a customer like me, I can learn more about coffee, from farming to brewing stage, which is I love learning than come, order and sitting for about an hour in a big busy coffee shop.
Interesting enough, our coffee culture has another side story and I guess it is particular to Indonesia. Our prime time visiting a coffee shop is after work around 5-6pm, having a chat with, sometimes, random people, sharing interest and idea. And quite often, an informal meeting in a coffee shop opens up new community or even new business. I guess that is the beauty of Indonesian Coffee Shop.
Hope You will be back again to Indonesia, and try our range of coffee from big to small player here. Last and foremost, thanks for visiting Indonesia. Cheers Mate!!!
Yeah, I think our "Afternoon coffee" talks in coffee shops is equivalent to socializing at Pubs or Bars in Europe.
Ga nyangka Bang James main ke Jakarta! Keren!
Hi James, thanks for the short trip to Jakarta. Thanks for letting people know about coffee trend in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia.
Mantul
Mantap ni si abang james nyeruput kopi susu
Bentar lagi udah gam capital of Indonesia lagi
i live in Jogjakarta, Indonesia, and I can say that within the last 5 years, a couple hundred coffee shops have opened, no exaggeration. coffee culture is booming. you must visit!
it's got great coffee but without the traffic!
Love the evolution of your channel. From the cozy comforts of home to interesting coffee locations around the world. The quality of these videos are so high that it's oddly relaxing.
On the topic of milky, sugary coffee, I can confirm that it's at least getting some people into drinking good coffee. My girlfriend's just gotten properly into coffee after a while of only really drinking the really milky creamy stuff.
Hate to point this out to you man, but your girlfriend drinking milky creamy stuff sounds wrong to me 🤣 jokes aside, I agree on how this latest coffee wave is changing entirely how people consume coffee especially in Indonesia
Same. I started out with instant coffee at first, and then moved to a Drip Brewer, then French Press, and finally settled for a Moka Pot. There's nothing wrong with putting milk and sugar in coffee though. I usually put a shotglass of milk and a teaspoon of sugar in my coffee just to cut back the intensity of a Moka Pot brew.
When you said you’re coming to Saudi Arabia I just paused the video and rewind it to make sure that you are really said it !!!!!
Of course I want to see you in my country and meet you personally. You are more than welcome James ..
Hoffmann's ultimate Nespresso technique!
Gotta insert the capsule at exactly the right angle or everything goes wrong!
You didn't give him a heart... );
James Hoffmann saw you guys had an Opel machine in the roastery tour vid; I haven’t had a single problem since I got mine whereas before I’d lose maybe 1 in 3 or 4 shots using Colonna capsules. Any thoughts?
My specialty coffee journey actually started from that so-called "Kopi Susu", my friends started this "Kopi Susu" business few years back before it becomes a trend like nowadays, with actual purpose it can become a bridge to connect people into specialty coffee.
Nice one Eko ❤ everybody starts somewhere right
Swimsuit Succubus coffee?
Lovely coffee School, next time you come to Indonesia you should check out Bali. Many speciality coffee shops and roasters. Been living here 7 years and speciality coffee has been booming in the last few years
Jakarta is getting really good for speciality stores too ❤
I'm looking forward to seeing your impressions of qahwa (traditional arabic coffee) in Saudi. For me its one of the most interesting coffees that isn't really what we think of as coffee, but it still coffee
I also think Turkish coffee is interesting.
ABCD is even cooler for their Death Star style lighting in the auditorium. Love these videos, perhaps more of the outside too?
I enjoy these videos. The presentation is always soothing and peaceful. Would love to see how people in other countries are doing coffee differently, and perhaps a short review or your thoughts on it!
show me da cawfee icons o nu yoik
The best bit of the Aus/NZ one was when you sat down with Matt Perger, so more stuff about the people driving coffee in that city forward and what their ideas are would be very interesting.
Wellcome back to Jakarta Bali Indonesia
James: I’ve got more travel coming up
Covid19: hold my coffee a sec
Yes! Absolutely more of the travel diaries. Well done!
One thing about Indonesian coffee scene that I think you wont find anywhere else is that we use ROK Presso for commercial use. And by commercial I mean we torture it to its limit. And there are so many local custom workshops that make Upgrade Kit for your ROK Presso such as custom porta, metal chamber and shower screen, etc etc.
That's one thing I love about coffee in Indonesia. You'll find so many micro coffeeshop with very minimalist setup but yet people still come and gather to have good time with friends and a cup of a good, humble coffee.
I love it when you say "Good morning, I'm in Jakarta" and you seem to be bewildered by it.
I really enjoy the travel diaries!
So great to finally can watch your video in Jakarta...
Wishing to be able to meet you some times in future when you have another trip here.
IMHO, you could show the viewers what's going on during the trip, may be like moments when you're having talk session(s), tasting some recommended local coffee shops, going to some local coffee roasteries, or even brewing coffee with local beans (if you have some more time to be spent on).
As a fan from indonesia, I just wanted you to try coffee from around the island. My favorite was Sumatra and toraja coffee. The notes was amazing for me.
Kopi Kalosi (Toraja) is the best in the world...
@@DavidKearns4 If you have the money, Kopi Luwak is the best. Be prepared to spend $500+ per lbs tho..
@@DavidKearns4 Sapan Toraja. Hold my beer
"I'll just... We'll get coffee later." Hahaha
Bit late to the party here and assuming there’s very little travel going on currently! When things return to normal, I’d love to see more on:
- What does coffee mean to people in different parts of the world? Is it more about the ceremony and science, or simply just a morning caffeine hit?
- With the above in mind, what else could boost coffee culture in cities you visit, where perhaps it isn’t as strong as the likes of London
- It would also be interesting to learn about the backgrounds of baristas in cafes and where their passion for coffee originated. Particularly in the likes of Jakarta and Saudi
- Any unfamiliar modern quirks being adopted in the coffee world
Anyway, great channel!
I love your vlogs because they are storytelling more than show and tell. Makes me appreciate that you don't take out your phone to vlog while socialising with other people. That is a rare gift in this day and age where everybody feels they need to be online all the time.
Been living in Jakarta for 20+ years and I just figured out there's such a place as ABCD 😂
Glad u enjoyed your stay in one of the warmest days in Jakarta during this rainy season!
Me too!
I am a big fan of "kopi tubruk" which I personally think is the ultimate and most simple way of making coffee. Just yesterday a colleague of mine and I stopped by a place in Jakarta called "Bakoel Koffie" in center Jakarta (Koffie is the Dutch spelling for coffee), where they served me a most amazing tubruk made from Timor coffee. They roast all their coffee themselves. A well made tubruk has a lot of body, the perfect cup bringing out all the flavors available in a coffee without changing it by any particular way of preparing your coffee. Tubruk grind is similar to Turkish, so very fine though a bit courser as true Turkish, finer as espresso though. Any medium or finer grind can make a nice tubruk, but finer grinds are preferred. After pouring your near boiling water on the ground coffee in your cup let it steep, then add sugar if you want (no milk), stir and wait for the grounds to have settled in the bottom of your cup. Blow the top of your cup (to have any ground coffee still present in the "crema" sink down as well) and enjoy.
JAKARTA - I lived in JKT / Indonesia for many years - most of the locals drink coffee that tends to be very acidic. Filtered through a large SIV made from cheesecloth.. The SUSU - is condensed sweet milk from a can- very thick and very sweet. (too sweet for my taste similar to can 'leche' is South/ Central America - both words mean 'milk' but different than a container of whole milk per se) Over the last several years, more coffee shops opened - to compete with Starbucks and offer coffee from machines and some franchises offer a set-up where the operator actually roast the beans on the premises. (sometimes there can be inconsistencies through) Indonesia does offer a fine selection of coffee & beans, if you had the time to go to one of the large supermarkets, you can buy coffee ground or beans from many of the wonderful locations/coffee plantations. I just came across your videos and subscribed. Very well done. cheers
Please do more of these. Show us the coffee shops: the experience of ordering, waiting and drinking. I loved the section with the pos machine - show us more of your humour! And you’re editing, shooting and b-roll work is amazing! Thank you, James!!!
James, the fact that you are collecting footage is a win! As a fellow Introvert (INTP) I can relate to the challenges of travel vlogging. In 2018 I had 4 trips in 3 months & didn't have the muscle memory to hit record. I too great pictures, but little video. If all you do is a hotel room & airport terminal interstitial updates of the day THAT IS PLENTY! Every bumper counts. As a New Yorker I hope you get to enjoy the city [EXCELSIOR!!!]
I’d be really interested in these talks (even if it was audio only on a second channel or on SoundCloud or something like that).
This really is a throwback to one of your earlier travel vlogs, only the quality and the narrative are much more developed and even more coherent.
Also: may we have another Q&A or even a cupping?
Working on another cupping for sure. A Q&A is a nice idea, I haven't done one in a long time!
Hey James, I lived in Jakarta from 1988 to 1998 and enjoyed everything there.
I'm not all that up-to-date on your travel habits, but I'm thinking that New York trip in March was canceled for the foreseeable quarantined-future. I'm glad you're safe and I'm very thankful for your informative and entertaining videos. TH-cam algorithm did me right when it brought your channel to my home page.
So close yet so far! Next time, after such a long haul to this quadrant of the galaxy, please drop by other Southeast Asian spots, like here in Malaysia! The interest in speciality coffee is booming here too, and we would be glad to have such a industry celebrity to come over.
Your travel vlogs are my favorite type of your videos going back to the beginning of your channel. Would love to see more!
Interesting to hear your observations. I'm from Malaysia, so I think in terms of coffee culture,we're probably alike in some ways. We don't have the "kopi susu" type thing here, but the closest to it that we have here would probably be the Taiwanese boba tea milk stuff. I gotta give the Indonesians props though for not being shy to show you what is trending over there, and I love that you try to put some thought into why such a thing makes sense there. Not something that most purists/traditionalists would consider "real coffee experience" (if such a thing exists), but your open-minded approach is very refreshing.
OMG!! You are coming to Saudi Arabia. Welcome. I hope I can meet you.
Makes a cup of hotel coffee then transitions to a room FULL of espresso machines I will never be able to afford. Haha
Right? What a contrast!
@@sdjohnston67 I wonder what hotel he stayed at because it has a Dolce Gusto machine in its rooms. Must be quite pricy.
Honestly, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I think keeping things short and to the point really works. I normally dislike travel vlogs because they tend to be long and superfluous. I’d love to hear more about a given city’s coffee culture-unique drinks, when and where people drink coffee, etc.-and, if relevant, visits to notable cafes or roasteries.
On a side note, I ordered some coffee from Square Mile (I live in the US!). Delicious! Worth the effort (and the exchange rate).
Thank you and I'm delighted you enjoyed the coffee! (And the video - the challenge is being able to say something notable when my visits are often so brief!)
I feel that was my journey as well, starting with milk coffee and the Starbucks of the world, and eventually learning to appreciate coffee more and more, exploring pour over, espresso, and eventually roasting my own. A 15 year journey. I love it.
The video editing is so fantastic here! 🔥 I like the: "What do I do today somewhere else?" format.
Miss Jakarta, lives there for 5 years... great people! 2009/2014 coffee shops started to boom everywhere...
Thanks James. Lovely video. Also a nice surprise to see mandarin caption which looks like professionally translated. Noticed a lot videos on this channel is getting translated captions in different languages. Really appreciate the effort put in to reach a wider audience!
(Spotted a few Chinese character mistakes though. Maybe proofreading was done in a hurry?)
Would love to see more videos like this. Often finding myself wondering what other scenes are like compared to where I live (Berlin).
Tried some Square Mile Red Brick the other week for the first time at Companion Coffee. it was 🤔a little less experimental than I imagined. It's all in the name 'red brick', not sure why I didn't think it through! :) Hope to see more videos, thanks for making these. I really enjoy watching.
I hope you enjoyed Red Brick - it is our staple espresso blend, and so designed to be as enjoyable as possible to as many people as possible while still (hopefully) being interesting. For something more experimental we have Sweet Shop, a far sillier blend all around.
I'm going on a solo trip on Jakarta in May and I was so happy to find out that you've visited the place. I plan on cafe hopping while I'm there. We'd like to see more tour diaries, James!
Glad you like our town. Can't wait for your return to Jakarta. Thanks for your short visit, James.
Thanks for a nice comment on Jakarta.
Great to hear that you enjoyed your stay 🙏
Oh yes milk and coffee is very much love here. Part of the culture milk coffee = Kopi susu, is part ground coffee and condensed milk or coffee + milk + sugar. Morning coffee, afternoon coffee (usually with fried banana or other snack). Anyway, love you video! Thank you for coming to my city. I would love to see more of this type of video: visiting countries and try their local coffee or how the local brew. 🙏
Wow.. i didn’t know you were in Jakarta! James .. after this corona pandemic resolved (hopefully soon) .. please visit back Indonesia and explore cities and villages that produce traditional coffee beans.. Indonesia is a coffee heaven
More please! It’s interesting to see the differences in coffee culture and maybe some interviews like the one with Matt Perger
Love it. Thank you James.
Definitely need you to come back! Would love to hear your thoughts on the unique duality Indonesia possesses - it's one of the world's biggest coffee producers while at the same time it's starting to make its mark on the world stage (an Indonesian came 4th in the 2019 WBC). I may be wrong but not many coffee producing countries enjoy this kind of privilege.
Yes, it is getting pretty good here. Even the roasters are pretty on par.
Love tour diaries, full and enjoyable.
Dolce Gusto, I completely understand what you feel😆
Yes! More! More! More! Indonesia must have held a lot of promise for you. It’s a 20 hour flight from just about anywhere. Oh yeah, a little bit of your talk would have been nice.
Thank you for coming to Jakarta and to the coffee event! Please take a longer time and see the coffee culture in Indonesia. Maybe you can come to another city in Indonesia, I'll recommending you for coming to bandung, yogyakarta and malang because the have a lot of people who enthusiast with the real black coffee. And we have a lot of great n unique coffee beans. Terima kasih (thank you in bahasa)
I'm really interested to see more videos like this and find out your impressions about the places you visit. Would be great to see more city shots
I just recently knew you from Scott's video. If only I knew you recently got in Jakarta I would attend this event
More of these film diaries please James
Yes James! We want more travel vlogs. More coffee. More goods. Coming to Portland? I'll see you there, I think :)
I love these videos. As someone who travels a lot and enjoying trying new shops out, I think it would be cool to showcase some of your adventures in finding local places.
@James it breaks my heart that this was right before everything got shut down. You were quite excited telling us about NYC and SA hope you can get to it brother!
Welcome!!! Thanks for coming! You should try Jogjakarta, there’s a lot of great coffee and coffee shops there. Have a great time!
Brilliant, nice to see you again Professor Hoffman :) much love from Toronto Ontario
Yes, show us all your travels.
Yes, more of these please, interested in seeing how others do it.
thank you for coming James :)
I enjoy seeing your adventures! Thanks for bringing us along
I’ve just watched this video. I like this kind of semi-vlog. Looking forward to see this kind video again
Thank you, James, for bringing us along with you and for interacting with us as though we were there with you. Very personal, and interesting to us too. Keep up the great work and for the very smooth and rich production value.
Yes, please more of your travel videos and coffee experiences in other parts of the world.
I love coffee and I love traveling, the combination of these 2 with ur narration is fabulous so I really home to see a kind of documentary series where u travel all around the world both touristing and showing us the coffee culture and special things where u travel!
Accidentally bounced on this vid and I gotta say that you should come back. So much to explore here and yes we need you back to experience the coffee scene down here in Indo.
Thank you for visiting my country James.
Yeah traffic can be horrendous in Jakarta, but it's a one-of-a-kind city and there are tons of amazing coffee shops there.
I hope the next time you visit Indonesia, you have the time visit the neighboring cities like Bandung, Bogor, Yogyakarta, Surabaya and maybe even check out some of the coffee plantations that are spread across the country and take a peek of our beautiful landscapes.
Cheers!
I live in Singapore, which is also in the Southeast Asia region. The local coffee here, aside from having sugar and milk added,is also roasted differently. Not sure if it’s the same as in Indonesia, but as the type of beans we get here are different, it’s usually roasted in butter and sugar till dark. Thus the body is a lot heavier and therefore requires the milk and sugar. Pretty interesting to note the difference in taste as I’ve switched to drinking single origin coffees and suddenly noticed this cultural difference. You could look it up, it’s called the Nanyang style coffee
Yes, more of this please.
made me laugh as per usual at the 'oh no ' moment ..... 2.01 James drinks bad coffee better than anyone else.
So you're going to Portland. I used to live there, and still visit every once in a while. My absolute must-visit roaster there on every journey, is Water Avenue Coffee. They are right next door to Clive Coffee, and walking distance from Coava. These days, Stumptown is only interesting from a volume perspective.
First of all welcome to Indonesia, and sory for bad traffic (it's kind of problem that Jakarta face to long), but nice to hear that you have a great trip. The trend of Indonesia coffee now it's milk coffee (kopi susu) basic that get some variation (boba it's trending now), but maybe if you stay longer you can find so many great coffee because Indonesia have a lot of great Bean's, hope you can back and explore more. Always like you're content and love from Indonesia
Keep posting what you love to share. I hope to see you in Portland this April.
oh my goodness you going to my home town, too bad im not in jakarta at that time..
yes specialty is having a hard time, and yes coz is expensive for the most of us, but "kopi susu" is building the bridge.
i hope that some one filming your talkshow event, so i can enjoy it in you tube.
hope you enjoy jakarta...
Yes, like the travel vids. If your schedule allows and you ever get the time necessary to visit any local cafes and share your thoughts, that would be cool too.
Yes more vlogs please!
Have you ever thought about starting a coffee podcast? I feel like there would be enough to talk about and I love your voice!
Jakartan here, 5:20 it is indeed what your vision is, well at least for me. Back then i drink only milky sweet coffee stuff when the craze about coffee started to take off in here. Then i started chasing that perfection, started to search for espresso perfection, build a home barista setup, watch youtube coffee videos like yours, upgrading my gears until i now have a big flat burrs grinder and a NS commercial machine. Trying single origin for espresso, trying various roasting profile for espresso. Now i want to learn about roasting but it seems whole other different beasts. I lost my time so much in this chase of a better coffee 😂
I’m glad you are taken care of in here, just jealous i didn’t know that you were here, would like to meet.
Btw about that traffic condition, i bet you’re here on a weekend ?, the traffic is so much different here on a week days 😁
Found out a trick for Dolce Gusto. You put in the capsule, start the machine for couple of seconds so the water enters the capsule but doesnt start dripping. then leave it like that for 15 seconds. When you start it again, the extraction is longer, which makes a better espresso in the end.
Just found your channel in the midle of the pandemic and just realize you come to my hometown
School of Coffee had a Star Wars interior...awesome!
Love this, James! I'd be interested in the coffee cultures and brewing styles / practices different places have and your travel setup (both your coffee and non coffee gear).
Great format! Please more or this. Thank you!
Love it! Your tour diary is passionate, eloquent and fantastic from a different perspective.Yes more please
