I don’t know if you have ever thought about this problem. It is also for the convenience of pre-grinding the coffee powder and putting it into the filtering device. What is the difference between capsule coffee and hanging ear coffee? In this article, we will talk about these two coffee brewing methods that are popular among enthusiasts.
What is capsule coffee? When did it start to appear?
Capsule coffee is a kind of pre-packaged coffee in which coffee beans are ground into coffee powder and sealed in special plastic or aluminum foil capsules. When drinking, the capsules are put into a special coffee machine for rapid extraction. The extraction method of capsule coffee machines is generally the same. Put the capsule into the capsule coffee machine, select the cup size, and press the extraction button. One capsule makes a cup of coffee, neatly.
Capsule coffee has been loved by many users since its launch, not because it is so special, but because it allows users to get a cup of freshly brewed coffee in a very short time, omitting the pre-steps of coffee making. With the increasing number of capsule flavor options, it is very suitable for use in homes, offices and other scenarios.
Back in 1974, illy produced the first espresso capsules and introduced the concept of "Easy Serving Espresso" as single-serve pods designed for espresso machines. Nespresso revolutionized the market in 1986 with the introduction of the capsule system, which kept coffee fresh and ensured consistency. When Nespresso first launched its capsule machine in the 1980s, it targeted users in restaurants and offices and positioned it as a clean, efficient solution to the messy problem of espresso making. In the 1990s, Nespresso began to turn its attention to affluent household consumers, especially in Europe, a shift that required a complete rethinking of coffee machine design.
What is hanging ear coffee? Who invented the hanging ear?
In 2001, Japan's UCC Ueshima Coffee invented the ear-hanging coffee bag, registered a patent, and then launched it on the market. In Japanese, it's called "a cup of drawn coffee." This is because its principle is to put the coffee powder in a non-woven fabric or tissue paper filter bag, with two paper plywood on the outside. When opened, it can be hung on a narrow-mouth cup. After brewing, you can directly pull it out to drink fragrant black coffee.
The two pieces of paper placed on the rim of the cup like "ears" are the origin of the name "ear-hanging bag". 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.
Front Street hanging ear coffee grinds coffee into coffee powder and puts it in a sealed filter bag. The reason why it is called hanging-ear coffee is because during the brewing process, the small pieces of paper (little ears) on both sides of the filter bag need to be opened and hung on the cup for extraction. Because its main feature is that you can drink a cup of black coffee very conveniently, it has become a must-have for many offices, homes and travels.
