portable ear bag
The portable ear-hanging bag is a patented design developed by the Japanese. The filter bag is used to store coffee, and the sides are small cardboards, like two small ears, so it is called hanging coffee. These two small ears are used to hang the coffee bag on the mouth of the cup for brewing. After brewing, the ear-hanging bag can be thrown away, making it convenient to drink freshly ground coffee like Pour over(V60) coffee.
The history of hanging ear coffee
In 1990, the earliest hanging ear coffee was invented by Japan's Yamanaka Industrial Co., Ltd. and officially filed a patent application in the same year. However, the hanging ear at that time only had one side.
In 1996, Daiki Shoji Co., Ltd. proposed an improved filter bag that moved the hanging ear parts to the lower edge of the filter bag, but the hanging ears were still only on one side of the filter bag.
In 1999, Daji Corporation applied to the European Patent Office for an invention patent for a double-sided hanging ear component. This improved design finally allowed the filter bag to stand squarely and stably at the mouth of the cup, and the opening of the filter bag could be fully opened. This design concept has become the mainstream in today's market.
In 2001, the Japanese invented the ear-hanging coffee bag, registered a patent, and then introduced it to the market. Because the operation is simple and portable, the brewed coffee tastes much more pure and fragrant than instant coffee. Today, ear-hanging coffee pods account for 15% of the market share of ordinary coffee in Japan.
