There are many similarities between the two brewing methods of hanging coffee and Pour over(V60) coffee. But for the same kind of coffee beans, Pour over(V60) coffee will taste better than hanging coffee.

The coffee brewed by hanging ear coffee is not as good as Pour over(V60) coffee. There are two main reasons for this. First, the hanging ear coffee is pre-ground coffee powder, and the flavor evaporates more before brewing. Naturally, it is difficult to compare the flavor with freshly ground and brewed Pour over(V60) coffee; second, the hanging ear coffee filter bag only has a filtering effect, and the uniform extraction effect is inferior to the combination of a filter cup and filter paper for Pour over(V60) coffee.

Therefore, it would be a bit difficult to ask for ear-hanging coffee based on the taste standards of Pour over(V60) coffee! But bringing the standard back to ear-mounted coffee, convenience and speed are its biggest selling points, so it is worth discussing what method can be used to brew relatively delicious ear-mounted coffee!

First of all, high-quality Arabica coffee beans are indispensable for delicious hanging ears.On the Front Street Bean List, there are more than 50 types of single-origin coffee beans from different production areas that can be made into ear-hanging bags.

Front Street learned from the brewing feedback of some customers that usually the reason why the brewed coffee is too light is because the powder-to-water ratio is not well controlled. If too much water is added, the coffee will naturally become very weak. Brewing ear-mounted coffee does not require an electronic scale like Pour over(V60) coffee, but it pays attention to convenience and how to make it convenient. Therefore, some friends may randomly find a mug, hang an ear-hanging bag on it, and fill up a cup directly.

The capacity of an ordinary mug is about 250-350ml. The content of coffee powder in a bag of ear-hanging bags is 10g. Using 1:15-1:18 as a reasonable powder-to-water ratio, the coffee liquid is about 130-160ml, which is equivalent to half of the mug.

The brewed coffee has no flavor, probably because the cup used is too short and the water soaks the coffee powder for too long. When brewing ear-mounted coffee, the cup is also particular. Generally, a tall mug or glass cup is used so that the coffee liquid can be filtered out directly. If the cup used is too short, then the filtered coffee liquid will be returned to soak the coffee powder, and the taste of the whole cup of coffee will be heavy, burnt and bitter, and the flavor will naturally not be outstanding.

If you want to brew a more delicious taste of hanging ear coffee, you only need to pay attention to the water temperature and proportion when brewing, and avoid the coffee liquid from soaking into the filter bag.

Front Street recommends that the water temperature for ear hangings is around 90°C. If you don’t have a thermometer or temperature-controlled pot, you can boil the water, then turn off the heat and open the lid and let it sit for 60-90 seconds. The water temperature will drop to 88-95°C.℃this interval.

The next step is to confirm the amount of water injected. If you are not sure how much water you have injected, you can add water like this. Inject the first section to 1/2 of the ear-hanging bag and steam for 20 seconds;

The second stage directly fills the ear-hanging bag with water; after waiting for the coffee dripping to filter, the third stage continues to fill the ear-hanging bag. After waiting again for the coffee dripping to filter, the fourth stage also fills the ear-hanging bag with water. After the drip filtering is completed, the ear-hanging bag can be removed. If water is injected in this way, the total water injection volume will be between 150-160ml.
