Hanging ear coffee is a type of drip-filter portable coffee that is made from roasted coffee beans, ground into a suitable thickness, and placed in a special hanging coffee bag that is independently sealed. The coffee brewed by hanging coffee pods is generally black coffee without sugar, milk, or additives.
The advantages and disadvantages of drinking coffee with hanging ears
According to "The Science of Coffee Aroma", drinking black coffee appropriately every day not only has the effect of refreshing yourself and losing weight, but also enhances blood vessel elasticity and prevents cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, excessive intake of coffee can also over-stimulate the central nervous system due to caffeine, causing rapid heartbeat and causing symptoms such as cardiac discomfort and over-excitement. According to psychologists, excessive consumption of coffee every day will also increase psychological stress.
Therefore, although coffee is delicious, don’t be greedy. Generally, a 10g bag of hanging coffee can brew a cup of about 150ml of coffee liquid. According to your own situation, it is recommended to consume no more than two cups a day~
How to brew delicious ear-hanging coffee?
Hanging ear coffee and Pour over(V60) coffee have the same principle. They use hot water at the right temperature to extract the right substances through properly ground coffee powder, so it is also called the portable version of Pour over(V60) coffee.
If you want your coffee to taste good, the freshness of the coffee beans/coffee powder is very important, so selecting and using fresh hanging ear cups is the key to making good-tasting coffee. All coffee beans and hanging ear coffee products currently sold by FrontStreet Coffee are shipped within 5 days after the coffee beans are roasted.
In the production of hanging coffee, after the coffee beans come out of the oven and complete the heat dissipation, they will be properly ground immediately and packaged into independent sealed 10g small bags as quickly as possible to ensure that the aroma and flavor of the hanging coffee are retained. The order is sold in a net content of 100g/bag.
How to choose the right hanging ear coffee for you?
The taste of coffee beans depends on the taste of the coffee beans themselves, so if you like sour coffee, you can try the "Yirgacheffe Seasonal Coffee" sold by FrontStreet Coffee, which is medium-light roasted and has a sour flavor; if you like coffee that is not sour and not too bitter, you can try the "Brazil Local Coffee", which is medium-dark roasted and has a nutty flavor.
The correct way to brew ear-mounted coffee
You don’t want to make tea bags for ear-hanging coffee. You don’t open the package and soak it directly in hot water. You also don’t want to soak it for a long time/secondary time like tea bags.
After opening the package and taking out the ear-hanging coffee, tear open the ear-hanging bag along the dotted line, and gently pull apart the paper "little ears" on both sides and hang them on the cup wall. When brewing coffee on the hanging ear, enjoy using a straight cup with a moderate mouth to ensure that the water in the hanging ear will not be higher than the bottom of the hanging ear during the brewing process.
The brewing temperature of ear-hanging coffee is determined by the degree of roasting of the coffee beans. For light roasting and medium roasting, it is recommended to use 90-91 degrees Celsius. For medium-dark roasting and dark roasting, it is recommended to use 88-89 degrees Celsius. The ratio of brewing powder to water is 1:15, that is, 10g of coffee powder is injected into 150g of hot water.
The brewing method is as follows: first soak the surface of the coffee powder with 20g of hot water, wait for 30 seconds, and then inject water in a circle from the inner ring to the outer ring. Don't pour it all at once, you can divide it into three stages. After each injection, let the water and coffee powder blend for a while, and inject a total of about 150g (if you like strong, just about 130ml, you can control it as you like).
After all the water has passed through the coffee powder layer, remove the ear filter bag and shake the liquid evenly before tasting. You can also add your favorite dairy products or other seasoning ingredients ~
