trusted voices in coffee
At Gaggia Direct, we believe in celebrating the people who bring clarity, credibility, and creativity to the world of coffee. Two names stand out not only in the UK, but globally:
James Hoffmann
Coffee Author • World Barista Champion • YouTube Educator
Before becoming a global voice in specialty coffee, James Hoffmann began his journey right here — with Gaggia. His early work with Gaggia machines sparked a passion that eventually led to him becoming the World Barista Champion in 2007, co-founding Square Mile Coffee Roasters, and educating millions through his acclaimed YouTube channel.
James is admired across the industry for his depth of knowledge, clarity of communication, and unbiased testing of coffee equipment. He remains a champion of good design, great coffee, and honest education — values that mirror our own.
