I really love the fact that James put the Bripe displaying there in the back.

[alexanderkeefe]

idk about burrs but James is making it clear I need to upgrade my knitwear

The shot of the espresso dripping into the cup with a great big black CENSORED over the top of it really made my day.

This is the kind of sustainable thinking I'd love to see more of on youtube-- it's easy to tell everyone to buy fair trade coffee or stop using paper cups, but these kinds of long-term decisions about reducing wear and tear to prolong the life of the things we use are just as important, and I appreciate that James is talking about them.

FYI, from experience in repairing a bunch of small household appliances with motors for grinding, mixing, slicing etc. Those motors don't burn out. Most of them have a thermal fuse buried in there, glued, pressed etc into the stator, that will say byebye when it gets too hot once.

I've replaced a bunch of those before, and the machines work perfectly fine again. So be careful, and don't throw a broken grinder away, because unless your entire kitchen smells like burnt electronics, it's the stupid fuse.

I don’t even like coffee and i watch these. It’s satisfying seeing someone with real passion for something.

Seeing the bripe in the background makes me smile.

I use motors most days of my working life and I can tell you that the main failure mechanism for the motors I use is thermal. Cooking the motors through prolonged overload. I believe that if you pull the _odd_ espresso from it you’ll be fine but don’t back-to-back them. There’s usually plenty of thermal mass in a motor even if it can’t shed the heat quick enough.

The fact that you don't ask to like your videos and to subscribe made me so willing to do it immediately.

He says „Don‘t grind too fine with SSP burrs in your fellow ode“
And he is doing scrambled eggs with a steam wand.
This is exactly my kind of humore.

I just absolutely love how balanced and considerate are James’s opinions. I never feel like testing/knowledge/information are ever left out in any video. I love the deep dives into the madness that can be the world of coffee and its endless variables. So insightful and educating, keep up the great work James... hope you have a great day!

[susanneanna]

I don't even own a grinder but how relaxing it is listening to James Hoffmann talking about anything....ahhh ...chill....

[arnoweber]

sometimes people tell me that I get way too obsessed with the details and perfection of some niche items...and then I come here to my hero's channel and remind myself that I have yet to reach nerdvana. Thank for your service Mr. Hoffman.

Been using the Fellow Ode with SSP burr set for about 8 months, well it has just started to stop in the middle of a grind (Ethiopian medium/light coffee on #3). Have a case open with Fellow, no response yet even though it has been several days. I must say, James, called it!

[eivindvikhagen]

My Wilfa Uniform actually started shifting between grind settings while grinding, even with its original burrs. I still loved the coffee it produced, but wanted something new. Now have the Fellow Ode and I’m very pleased. The original burrs works fine (pun intended) enough for me.

[NurkeldiIznat]

the background is shouting at me that there is gonna be crazy videos in the near future

Broke: Overclock your computer
Woke: Overclock your coffee grinder

I want a 20 hr video of James saying "Thank you so much for watching, and I hope you have a great day."
It's so relaxing.

[PopcornColonelx]

The fact that the ode announcement came out literally as you were producing this video is pretty incredible.

Lose so many hours learning about Burr sets and I’ve spent hours watching all your content and learnt so much
