What are the differences between instant, hanging and ​Pour over​(V60) coffee? Which one is better, hanging ear coffee or freshly ground coffee?


Let’s talk about the conclusion first. Instant is a solid product that extracts the coffee flavor through a special process. The coffee beans are usually of the Robusta variety, which has a single taste and contains ingredients such as saccharin and creamer, so it has a poor taste. Hand-brewed coffee is a real freshly ground coffee with strong selectivity, the best aroma, and the richest taste. Hanging ear coffee is made by grinding coffee beans in advance. There are many choices, and the aroma will be compromised. However, because it is made in advance, it is very convenient.

However, for a novice who wants to get involved, it is a university question. What kind of spout is required for the flow rate of a hand-pour pot can be difficult for a group of beginners, and hanging ear coffee solves most of the problems.

Hanging ear coffee is a simple version of ​Pour over​(V60) coffee. In English, it is Drip Bag Coffee, which means filter bag coffee bag. The brewing method of hanging ear coffee is similar tohand brewed coffee, the ear-hook filter bag is a filter paper, and stores usually grind the coffee beans first and then fill them with film, which eliminates the need for a grinder. It is not necessary to use a hand brewing pot during the brewing process. This saves a lot of work.


But if you want to ask how the taste of the coffee brewed in this way compares with that of traditional hand brewing, the answer is probably that traditional hand brewing will be more delicious. After all, brewing adjustments can be made according to the characteristics of each bean. The earhook type simplifies these adjustments, and there is not much room for change. Moreover, grinding in advance also loses part of the aroma, and the brewed coffee does not have the aroma of freshly ground hand brewing.


Novices learning to brew coffee by hand must buy fresh coffee beans, because only in this way can the best flavor be brewed. Beginners prefer Front Street Liang coffee beans series freshly roasted within 5 days.
