Among all drip coffee, hanging ear coffee is the simplest method. You only need to prepare a pack of hanging ear coffee, a cup, and hot water to brew a delicious single-origin black coffee. Not only does it not have complicated techniques and parameters, but it also does not need to worry too much about cleaning after brewing. It is simply not too convenient.



However, although the operation of hanging ear coffee is simple, Front Street believes that if you want to brew 70% of the level of ​Pour over​(V60) coffee, you still need to pay attention to some details.

First, there is no essential difference in brewing between ear-mounted coffee and ​Pour over​(V60) coffee., so the hand brewing parameters are very particular and can still be put on the ear-mounted coffee.

As for the grinding degree, we don’t need to worry about this. The coffee is pre-ground for the ear-mounted coffee, and the powder has been ground into the ear-mounted filter bag in advance. Generally, coffee factories or coffee shops have better grinding equipment, so there is no need to worry about the particle size.

In terms of water temperature, Front Street recommends that it be consistent with the temperature used for ​Pour over​(V60) coffee, which is 90-93 degrees for medium-light roasting and 86-89 degrees for medium-dark roasting. Many friends just use the water from the water dispenser for convenience. The water from the water dispenser is usually around 80 degrees after heating, so the coffee brewed in this way is easy to be weak and sour. However, if you brew it directly with boiling water, it is easy to extract the burnt and bitter taste. Therefore, if we do not have an instrument to measure the temperature, Front Street recommends that you open the lid of the boiled water and let it sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 minutes. Let the water temperature drop slightly to about 90 degrees Celsius, and then you can brew the earplugs.

In terms of proportion, many friends will fill a cup directly. In this case, the coffee will usually have a bitter and weak taste. The content of coffee powder in a pack of hanging ear coffee is about 10 grams. According to the ratio of 1:15 to 1:18, it is more reasonable to inject about 150 to 180 ml of water. If you don’t have a scale nearby, you can find a graduated cup.

Second, it is best to use a tall cup, with a capacity of 250 ml or more, so as to prevent water from soaking the ear-hanging coffee pods. If soaked for too long, a bitter taste may occur.

Third, the specific operation method.

1. Prepare cups, ear-mounted coffee bags, and hot water.

2. Tear open the ear-hanging packaging bag, take out the inner bag, tear along the "open" line above, open the ears of the hanging ear, and hang it on the cup.

3. Pour hot water into the hanging ear, pour the first section to 1/2 of the filter bag, and wait for 10-15 seconds.

Fold the fourth and second sections to the full 9 points of the ear bag., then wait until all the coffee liquid in the filter bag has been filtered, continue to pour hot water until it is 90% full, wait until all the coffee liquid has been filtered, and finally pour it to 90% full. After all the coffee liquid has been filtered, you can remove the hanging ear filter bag.

Note: There are 4 stages of water injection in total. The first stage is filled to 1/2, and the remaining three stages are filled to 9 minutes after the coffee liquid has completely flowed out. Front Street has tested it several times. If water is injected in this way, the total water injection volume is basically around 150ml. If you have an electronic scale or a cup with a scale, you can also rely on these auxiliary devices to brew the appropriate ratio of powder to water.


Fifth, choose your favorite flavor



There are more than 50 types of single-origin coffee beans from different production areas on the Front Street Bean List, all of which can be made into coffee bags. But as the saying goes, good coffee beans taste good no matter how you brew them. Therefore, Front Street believes that if you want to easily brew a cup of delicious black coffee, you should first choose the right coffee beans that suit your taste, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort in brewing.

To put it simply, if you like floral aromas, you can choose Front Street Yirgacheffe from Ethiopia. If you like refreshing fruit acid, you can buy Front Street Costa Rica. If you like strong flavors, you can choose Front Street Brazil, Front Street Colombia or Asia’s Front Street Indonesian Mandheling. If you are looking for a balanced taste, Front Street would recommend Front Street Guatemala or Front Street Yunnan Xiaoli.
