He definitely ground way too coarsely and pulling the shot too fast (or like you said, severely under dosed the coffee). The other funny part you didn't mention, is when steaming the coffee he submerges the steam wand, but also submerges the other pipe which is aimed towards the drip tray it's just for the emergency relief if boiler pressure builds up too high it will release steam.
Bond does enjoy the finer things in life. The coffee isn't for Bond. The coffee is for M. M doesn't have a clue about the finer things in life. Bond can't be bothered to make M an expresso. That's the joke of it all. Spilling the weak watery mess onto the saucer is the joke about it all. M doesn't reply with anything about the coffee Bond has made him. M replies with 'Is that all it does?' He doesn't know about coffee. As for the grinder the set dresser clearly miss and matched bits and pieces to make that grinder. As most things were put together for set design. M doesn't even know about Sherry. Connery being Bond explains to M in Goldfinger I'd say it was a 30-year-old fine, indifferently blended sir with an overdose of bon-bois.😂
Sorry for a potentially redundant comment on an old video, but you mention that blue mountain coffee is no longer considered to be particularly special coffee these days, could you expand please? I've not heard anyone say this before and think it's a topic coffee youtubers tend to not discuss; would it be due to the advancements of other origins and roasting techniques? It certainly still sells for a premium! Thank you
Hi, Blue Mountain coffees became popular at a time when most other coffee was pretty terrible - it had decent growing conditions and more care was taken over it than many other coffees at the time, but by modern standards it was not particularly special. It's been trading on this reputation ever since. Testament to this is the fact that I can't think of a single winner of the Brewer's Cup or World Barista Championship, who has used Blue Mountain in their routine.
Brilliant … JP makes a great bond in the opening sequence … love it .. license to grind …
Love if! 😀

I saw a comment on Home-Barista saying that the grinder is a Gaggia Sirio.
Thanks! That certainly looks like the correct grinder, although there's virtually no information available about it online.
This truly addresses the real problems of this world 😅

@@TheCoffeeChannel I see! Thank you for your detailed reply. Big fan of the channel!
@@foad7141 Thanks - always nice to hear. We've just filmed a new video, so that should be coming soon.
Do a video on agent Palmer's french press at the beginning of The Ipcress File..
Thanks for the idea - don't remember that scene but it's a long time since I've seen that film. I'll have a look!
2 spoons of coffee, beans measured by hand, ridiculous.
