Can This Coffee Expert Fix My Coffee Problem ? (James Hoffmann)

Turns out all we needed to improve that coffee eclair pastry or dessert, was a smarter coffee bean shopping, a better infusion in water and in cream. Almost nothing haha ! With a finer grind, and an aero press we extracted way more coffee flavours than by a simple infusion.

Planning a foodie trip to Paris ? Here are my favorite spots :

Salut,

Alex

Thanks for having me! It was so much fun to visit, talk coffee, get a little nerdy, ruin a caramel and then leave! I really want to taste the finished result one day too, that coffee caramel tasted so good!

[kjmagnans]

Ah yes, "roasted in a way that their flavor is predictable" needs to be a sticker or sign. Well done, James.

[Zyliasa]

I love seeing James trying to hold in his laugh when Alex got the Carte Noir coffee bags out

[BiggMo]

I really appreciate how Alex goes full circle and has the experts evaluate him. This is a unique twist to cooking channels

[im_Spade_]

James has gotten me to the point where I'm staying up at night watching coffee videos excited to make coffee the next morning.

[CookieBeaker]

The collab I hoped for but never thought it would happen 🎉

[maxpowers]

The pastry chefs were holding in their true reactions. I believe that after the video was done they asked each other “how the F did he get that intense coffee flavor in the cream”

Honestly, James was spitting straight facts when he said, "Coffee _is_ politics." Seriously, as a tea drinker who enjoys the occasional cup of coffee, I've had roughly the same amount of heated arguments with coffee fanatics as I've had with people with opposing political views. 😂

[LumiLunar]

I was dying when James tried to drink the dark roast lol. You can feel the hesitation.

[alexchernikov]

James fixes everyone's coffee problems

[doktarr]

James quietly saying "coffee is politics" is my favorite part. Because it's true, but moreover, it's true about almost anything that you are truly passionate about.

[HardwareLust]

He's not just *a* coffee expert...he's *the* coffee expert.

[SteeleGolem]

Seeing James in this editing style makes him seem way more human.

[ThisIsMyFullName]

Being an avid watcher of James' channel, I also laughed when Alex opened up the fridge to show him those bags of rancid beans 🧐

[VolumeZero]

Hold on. You invited James all the way out to help you with coffee and you didn't even let him try one of the coffee eclairs?!

[kristinnelson-patel]

The best episode ever. I love watching a Brit out-food-snob a Parisian. Awesome collab!

[stollerino]

James laughing, then Alex freaking out is amongst my new favorite things.

[Amocoru]

I would watch 100 episodes of you and James without hesitation.

[jamied]

When a pastry chef doesn’t want to admit Alex knocked it out of the park! 😂

[bluej]

The collab we didn't know we needed. A french and a brit, what could possibly go wrong :).
