James Hoffman takes an analytic approach to coffee. He studies grain consistency, tamp pressure, total dissolved solids, and much more all in persuit of the perfect cup. In this recent video he is looking for the most average espresso. He asked 39,425 people how they make espresso. If you like to nerd out on coffee science check out the stats!
We ran a survey to check out the state of global espresso in 2024 and nearly 40,000 people responded. Here’s some of the data! Do you have any hypotheses about what we found, or any other questions you think we should be asking of the data?
Thank you to all 39,425 of you who responded, and to Dr. Samo Smrke, Federick Ho (from University of Glasgow), and the Discord user who helped us process the huge quantity of data we received.
Craft the perfect, or average, cup with the Adafruit Learning System – Make sure your grind is right with John Park’s Coffee Detonator, and get precise ratio with Jan Goolsbey Clue Coffee Scale!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
