My dad has a kettle almost exactly like the one you pulled out in your 1979 kit, not sure what he does with it but he probably does instant/coffee in a teabag/tea. I don’t want to inquire further. But as far as effectiveness is concerned, you’ll find that it would boil a lot quicker if the engine is running. As my dad spends a lot of time on the road I imagine that’s convenient for him. On another note, when I was in the Middle East, our tour bus driver had a camping stove and kettle/coffee set which he would pull out every time we stopped and make tea or coffee regardless of how hot it was. I kind of think he had the right idea for car coffee.

[@norasyikinali6283]

The ideal for car coffee is always - 'have the right equipment to brew it when we pull for a stop midway through'. Any in-drive crockery sounds like an accident about to happen, which is probably why no one thought to pursue improvement on the in-car brewer design.

Harry’s ad is genius. They should pay you to make their adverts. Your question posed while sitting in the Tesla, “Is this just nonsense?” Answer: Resounding yes. Have your self driving car drop you off at Starbucks, or the airport, or a service station, or dinky donuts for that matter. Problem solved. Your channel is one of the best things to watch on any server, network, provider, etc. BBC (and the people at W1A) should just make a show around you where you get to exact your particular style of information sharing with the rest of us on basically anything that interests you (not necessarily coffee). I’d watch. And from the comments I’ve read on a multitude of your videos, I’m guessing a huge number of your audience would be watching too if it meant they’d get to spend a bit more time with James Hoffman. Thanks so much for the quality thought, time and effort you put into each and every one of your shows. Cheers from Santa Fe.

[@kuricat8783]

"I don't see why it couldn't be bigger... comments" It roughly takes 6 minutes of room temp 150cc water at 150watts to reach coffee temperature (fact check my joules and specific heat of water calculation). If you want more cc's of water, it will take a linear amount of time to heat, plus additional amount of time to drip, plus more space in the device. Someone had to draw the technology line at all of those variables to come up with that cute little 150cc coffee maker.

So first, the cinematography in this is amazing! I can’t imagine how long you worked on editing the lighting and advertisement. Secondly I could see myself using this. I live in Wisconsin in the United States, and my in-laws live in Washington State which is around a 25 hr. trip if you want to drive which I have done a few times. Traveling across the western states means you aren’t going to run into many good coffee shops. With that said, a jet boil and basic pour over equipment might be a better option, but this is certainly very compact in comparison.

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

So a little math an average in car lighter port is 12v (Battery medium voltage) and supposed to be rated up to 10amps. That means it is only able to produce about 120w of power at lower charge. However when running most cars should have the battery at closer to 13.6-14 5v. (Alternator power being fed in.) So that is 10a x 13.6-14.5v = 136-145w of rated power draw on a near full charge battery or running car port. So at the 120w for a lower battery to raise 1 cup (8oz room temperature water (64f to 200f) it would take about 11 minutes. (Without counting any thermal losses or needing to heat up the coffee maker itself.) At the 136-145w of a full battery it will take between 9.5-9 minutes to heat that cup of water. If 100% efficient (which it is not going to be) it will take 21wh to heat that water in energy. The average car battery (Lead Acid) is supposed to be 1323wh. Divid that by the 21wh for brewing and we have about 64.50 cups of coffee we could brew with a full charge. (For 8oz water from 64f to 205f.) However taking the much more conservative cost of 35wh to brew that cup for losses in the electrical system and thermal losses to the maker while brewing and such... We more realistically could probably brew about 40 (8oz) cups on a full charge. The 170w maker he uses would theoretically take 7.5 minutes in a perfect world for 8oz. But again most car lighters are only 10 amp and that means only a max of 145w. So unless your car is a 12.5a or 15a that maker could blow your fuses or cuase damage to the wiring with prolonged use.

[@bryanbischof4351]

3:33 "It's more offensive than my moustache" This one killed me 😂😂

[@rcollingridge1]

The excellent knitwear we’re seeing in James’ videos is a trend I can get behind

[@p.l.g3190]

I found your channel just recently and have been reveling in recent and back content. I'm American, so I don't know the proper British slang at the time, but I can honestly say you are completely groovy here, man! Right on!

[@rtfazeberdee3519]

You should have got a "Honda E" instead of the "Model X" - its got a 3 pin plug socket (1500w in think) so you can bring along your coffee maker and grinder of choice

I'm so happy i found James' channel during quarantine. Thank you for doing your magic!

[@JadenNeko]

James having a cuteness attack over a coffee maker is the cutest thing ever 😍

[@icowrich]

It seems to me that the biggest issue with brewing in a car would be getting water to boil. I'd go with one of the Spardar or Uniox boilers, an Aeropress, a travel mug, and a decent hand grinder (probably a C2, which seems to be at the price/performance sweet spot).

In-car coffee making? Nothing about that process sounds dangerous at all! 😂

[@jetah50]

how about "internal combustion"??

[@eldersprig]

What about an in-car ice cream maker? Damm now I want ice cream.

[@whiqeddik7615]

Moka pot, and portable butane stove is all ya need, well that, fresh beans and a reliable grinder and a cup of course.

[@nilsh5193]

Can we please appreciate how nice he looks beared and how much effort he put in this retro Video? Nice work !

My on-the-go coffee setup is the same whether I am in a car or carrying it in my backpack: MSR PocketRocket 2, Sea to Summit X-Kettle, Aeropress Go and Porlex Mini 2

Good grief I love the production on this video. I will never look at James’ upper lip the same. Very well done, informative and fun. Just a very very good video. Now to purchase an in car coffee maker and grow a moustache in time for the Christmas road trip!!

Well, I watched the full ad. It was Superbowl advert quality.

Dude I straight up felt the 2020 vibes. Whoever edited this is going places
