[@hoffmanncometh]

Thanks! Glad you are here. Quick Summary: James Hoffmann = popular and very likeable coffee expert, my channel = silly edits of his youtube videos. :)

[@onegreenev]

I use filters on both the top and bottom of my portafilter. I found I still need to remove the upper water sprinkler because the thing still gets gunked up but without the grounds plugging the holes. Dunk in hot water and let sit so the thick coffee just dissolves away. Nice and clean like new and off and running I am. Yes, keep it clean.

[@CedricsSpecialLP]

Great video. I have a recommendation. Take the video where Alan Adler shows how he makes coffee with an Aeropress and edit James Hoffmann over it, making it seem like he is reacting to it. I especially would love to see him criticizing Alan for using a scoop or microwaving his coffee.

[@hoffmanncometh]

I like this idea!

[@PraxZimmerman]

I don't know if this is part of what's been done in post, but James' tone and canter are incredibly consistent. With a bit more fluid joining of those clips, there'd never be another clean coffee drink machine in the English-speaking world.

[@hoffmanncometh]

There has been quite a bit of extra post work to blend the audio cuts for sure. Also, I often take time to try out multiple versions of similar dialogue to get a better match than just the first one I try. But James does naturally have a pretty consistent recording, which of course does help :)
