Your brain on coffee isn't what you think it is. Adrian Wells breaks down the surprising science with coffee expert James Hoffmann, revealing why that morning cup affects your mental health in ways the industry doesn't advertise.

OK! Today we get to talk with coffee legend James Hoffmann! On top of being the 2007 World Barista Champion and Co-owner of Square Mile Coffee Roasters, a renowned roastery in London, James is also the author of the World Atlas of Coffee, and runs one of the world's most popular and fun coffee YouTube channels where he dives deep into everything from coffee equipment, coffee science, brewing, extraction, agronomy, taste, and really anything to do with coffee. In essence, James is a purveyor of ideas for and about coffee that, over the years, have helped us all to better navigate the landscape of specialty coffee either as enthusiasts or professionals. James is an excellent teacher and has a gift for clearly articulating his thoughts and ideas around topics and his approach to questions that can be at first a bit confusing, both disarms and welcomes people into the world of coffee. In this fantastic conversation we get into a number of those questions that are at the heart of what we do in specialty coffee and the cafe. I believe James' thoughts here will be of great value as we seek to build a better industry and better businesses into the future. We cover: What makes specialty coffee special How accessible should it specialty be What it means to be inclusive of customers What are good mindsets to have for business The role does the cafe plays When differentiators become a barriers Winning the trust of customers The problem of low barriers in starting a coffee business How cafes have contributed to problems in the industry Good business models post-COVID Links: www.jameshoffmann.co.uk Subscribe to James' You Tube Channel www.squaremilecoffee.com James on Instagram Related Episodes: 206 : The Emotional and Social Impact of the Cafe Space w/ Noa Berger 138 : Joseph A.

This was not the episode I intended to share. My guest today is James Hoffmann, the 2007 World Barista Champion, co-founder of Square Mile Coffee in London, author of the book The World Atlas of Coffee , YouTuber , and overall one of coffee's most recognizable superstars. James has been on other shows. He's been interviewed a hundred times and honestly, I wasn't super interested in having the same conversation with him as I've heard on other platforms. I almost didn't have him on the show, but when I started talking to James—we had emailed a few times before we recorded—something strange kind of happened. James talked to me like no other guest ever has. He kept asking for my opinions and I gave them to him. I sort of realized as folks making media in the coffee industry we have a lot in common—and share a lot of the same struggles. This episode is an interesting dialogue exploring how you build on something like a particular moment. Maybe you make it into a career, maybe not. But there's also this tension with what you do with something that was so pivotal to your life—like winning the World Barista Championship—after over a decade of trying new things and finding what works and what doesn't. The struggle is never over, and we talk about ideas of perception versus reality, especially when you live a public life and folks have ideas already formed about you. We also talk like, a lot, about money and in general just kind of touch upon what it's like being human. So I'm going to keep it as is, without interruption. I hope you enjoy.

When done properly, periodization allows for creating calculated major goals, and measured improvement in short, mid, and long-term objectives. Today Dr. James Hoffmann will break down some of the details of an integrated, annual training plan that can help you peak when you need to by coordinating the three big parts: body, mind, and spirit; that unique individual who comprises YOU!

Today we're giving you a throw back, going back over 100 episodes to pull out one of my favorite podcasts to date - also one of the most informative. In this episode, we have Renaissance Periodization's very own, Dr. James Hoffmann. James is the lead author in the book " Recovering From Training " which is by far the most comprehensive and straight forward guide on recovering. In this podcast, you'll hear us go into each and every chapter of the book - covering the hierarchy of recovery, so that you can make the most out of your training.

It’s pretty rare that we invite someone back to speak again at Tamper Tantrum, not because the speakers aren’t amazing, but because we want to provide a diverse range of opinions and thoughts from different people across the industry. Every now and then, however, the stars align and we find ourselves with a repeat speaker. In truth, this makes us a little nervous: will they be able to deliver something just as good, if not better, than their original presentation? Will it still be as thought-provoking and inspiring? James Hoffmann has spoken at Tamper Tantrum Live twice, co-hosted our Asia Tour, and was a massive part of Episode the 19th, announcing the newly formed Euroguild (Barista Guild of Europe). He had already outdone his Dublin 2011 talk with his Birmingham 2014 talk, but could he do it again? It is with great pleasure that we present to you his unprecedented THIRD talk for Tamper Tantrum, recorded in Taipei, Taiwan on our Asia tour last year. An annoyingly clever presentation, James speaks here about the importance of telling stories in the coffee industry and how we’re doing it all wrong. And, of course, in honour of his incredible contribution to Tamper Tantrum over the years, we hereby declare today to be #jimsevenday.
