An excellent presentation; James Hoffmann’s videos are incredibly informative. I especially appreciate the comment about what I’ll have to eat or drink get that coffee aftertaste out of my mouth. I only seem to get that from Americano or French Press because the metal screen filtration isn’t as complete as the paper filter with my 2-3 times daily AeroPress addiction.

I’ve been watching his channel for a long time now, I’ve started grinding my own beans with a manual burr grinder, I bought a proper pour-over setup and pouring kettle, and I’ve taken all his tips for how to brew. I’ve experimented with various coffees, but anything lighter than medium roast tastes weird to me. I have begun to suspect that the kind of experience he’s describing in this video is not something I’m going to get with the coffees I like to drink.
Have you done a tasting / cupping at a higher end coffee spot? It’s a great way to try various beans, roasts, and flavor profiles. The more “citrus”-y light roasts aren’t my vibe, but I love the more “berry”-like beans.
