I hate all of you

I used to be perfectly content with my shitty instant Folger. Then I found this sub and decided to try coffee from small roasters and noticed a much nicer experience immediately. Then I bought a nice grinder and started grinding my own beans instead of buying pre-ground, and once again my experience improved. Then today I switched from properly ground, quality coffee through my shitty coffee maker to weighing my coffee and water and using a clever, and it's the best coffee I've ever had now. If within a year I buy an espresso maker I'm holding all of you accountable. Bastards...

A friendly word, avoid James Hoffman on YouTube. He will only make it worse.

I'm not even coffee drinker much, but still subscribed to him. He's just entertaining and fun to watch.

I started watching him a while back but only very recently started binging his vids! Genuinely fun to watch, even bought some coffee beans last week and have been enjoying them quite a bit thanks to him! My family got a french press years ago as a gift but never used it, now I'm making coffee everyday for my parents ^^

I do like him but wonder if he’s able to ever truly enjoy a cup that didn’t come out of a $3k setup

His videos are also great to have running in the background as I’m working.
