I think this is a common sentiment. Prolific coffee YouTuber, roastery-owner, and former World Barista Championship winner James Hoffman doesn’t do espresso at home, and says something to the effect of “home espresso is a hobby, not a way producing coffee”.
- Gigachad 4y agoThe guy undoubtably knows how to make coffee. But this is a silly opinion. I’ve got several methods of making coffee at home and the espresso machine is the cheapest, easiest, and best tasting result.
- 0-_-0 4y agoWhat is the 2nd cheapest, and what is the most expensive? And where is the aeropress in the ranking?
- Gigachad 4y agoI've got the aeropress for something portable. Its good, it's nice, it's not as nice as an espresso but it a fraction of the cost and doesn't take up your kitchen counter space. Most expensive without getting in to stupid hipster stuff is just a high end espresso machine, perhaps a commercial one. But the Brevile/Sage barista express is cheap and very good.
- atombender 4y agoHowever, Hoffmann does not think very highly instant coffee, to say the least: https://youtu.be/8cIqLvJz8VM https://youtu.be/8cIqLvJz8VM.
- chrispeel 4y agoThat's a video about supermarket instant. He has better things to say about specialty instant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuLWwZiIcl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuLWwZiIcl0
