This is an example of a great channel. When a channel is good, the YouTuber tells everybody. When it's great, everybody tells the YouTuber. Your videos are of very high quality. I really enjoy them

By the way -- that Harry's ad was better than any of Harry's own actual ads.

The 2020 version being set in a drab urban car park, in a car too big for the parking space really hit the realism on the head

I thought in-car coffee in the 70s was just cocaine

[ThePadawan]

It's the James Hoffmann/James May crossover I never knew I wanted.

[VinceWaldon]

Man o man... bought that exact coffee maker... in that exact box... back in the early 80s, as an accessory for my 69 VW bus. Made crap coffee but was great at reheating chicken noodle soup. :)

Fiat made a limited edition car partnered with Lavazza that had an espresso maker in the console. I would LOVE to see James review it

It's not But it is James' In-Car Coffee Making Cousin!

The commitment to the 70's aesthetic in this is just *chef's kiss*

[noisyshaun]

Honestly James I've never seen a creator actually make the advert so well integrated to their video narrative it was actually enjoyable! You just get better and better 🙏

What in the ever living hell is this masterpiece?

Person giving me a tow: "So, how did you manage to get stranded out here?"

Me: "I wanted coffee..."

On long journeys I take a gas stove to boil water, then just use an Aeropress and hand grinder that I'd have with me anyway for use in hotels. Not so much in-car as next to car, but i've done it many many times! Fun video, and really nicely put together!

[Rovinman]

The trouble is, my folks had one in the 70's, .... they used to hang it on the passenger door, and head off into the countryside, by which time it would be boiling away merrily, steaming up the passenger window.
The story takes a darker turn here, ... you see, ... my folks were tea drinkers ! !

For our anniversary, I surprised my wife by waking her up in the middle of night to drive to a lookout before daylight, so that we could watch the sunrise. I took along a power inverter and brewed coffee fresh while we watched the sunrise.

Some would say that it would have been much easier to bring a thermos, but the sound, aroma and experience of the coffee brewing in the dim hints of light before a chilly August morning was in our minds, well worth it :D

Love the video by the way! very fun changeup.

The production value went from "expensive but it's to show a product to people before they buy it" to "two fancy cars to show off the least effective brewers possible that no reasonable person would get" and I'm here for it

[truckerallikatuk]

Those "in car" devices are often cut down versions designed for truckers. As a trucker, I've had a modest coffee or 300 (it was instant before I got into good coffee, don't judge) in the cab. The perfect way to fill half an hour when parked up waiting for something.

The new hit series "Hoffman in cars making coffee" 😂
