How To Cup (Taste) Coffee At Home

The sincere accessibility and transparency that you use when discussing coffee is genuinely heart warming

2:45 that was some top tier editing

James. Explain your spoon sorcery.

One thing that should also be pointed out: coffee cupping is a great way to show your friends what all the fuss is about. I had people who don't even drink coffee come over and they were 100% certain all coffee will taste exactly the same to them and they were shocked to discover how different it can be even to them. I also like to do them in a way where I invite a couple of friends and they each can bring their own coffee to taste so we all have something new to discover and experience.

That ending, exactly what I didn't know I needed. Apologize for nothing James

Kettle temperature is the best, funniest way I've seen of indicating the length of an ad break. Brilliant idea that made me smile (and watch the full ad break).

13:50 was the most majestic 5 seconds of this channel's history. Beautiful.

I love your spoon transition @2:46! Its very smooth and I re-watched it at least 8 times trying to figure out how the spoons were edited in.

I saw James, I clicked on James. I am happy now. UPDATE: I absolutely love how James manages to simplify a process that's perceived as 'pretentious' to a lot of coffee drinkers.

That spoon edit was so god damn smooth, you're getting too good at this

I attended a cupping during a coffee workshop once. They had three different coffees in 6 cups and we had to find the pairs as a group. Interesting exercise for beginners and you encourage a discussion in the group!

I work at a trattoria in Mexico, we've been serving really bad coffee for years untill I decided to change that, It's been two months now since I've started this journey, now, people really loves the coffee we make and it's 80% thanks to you and your videos, now, with the rest of the coffee I have on the restaurant (cause believe, I've tried a lot from specialty coffee shops of my zone to supermarket coffee) I'mma try to cup all of them, maybe it's not best cause they're not recently grounded but I'm pretty sure that'll be fun 💕 ☕

So we're not gonna mention that editing when he conjured the cupping spoons?

Fourth wave - it’s when you’re teaching the whole Planet 🤗

"Just gently..." (Slurp heard across the English channel)

Always super helpful James, thank you!

I love that he's doing it in three wildly different containers, even though he has a perfectly good cupping set over there. "You don't need equal sized containers, and to show you, I'm gonna do it in three of the most different containers I have."

"This is mostly to cover our insecurities and make us look like we know what we're doing" 🤣🤣...Jim's sense of humor is so unpredictable and savage

I love how james simplify the process even though it's already simple Please we need many of you in my college

Once, I was too lazy to bust out the coffee maker that I just dumped a bunch of grinds in my mug, poured hot water over it and drank it that way. Years later, I find out that the fancy people called that 'cupping'. On a different day way back when, I was again too lazy to use the coffee maker but this time, I didn't want to chew grinds while I drank coffee so I placed a paper filter with coffee grinds above a similarly sized strainer and casually poured my hot water through there. Surprisingly enough, I also find out years later that the fancy people called that 'pour over'. Long story short: My teen years were pretty weird.
