recent yearsHanging ear coffeeIt became popular because its preparation method is simple and convenient, and it is favored by office white-collar workers. It has become one of the must-have items for coffee practitioners to travel. On the other hand, FrontStreet Coffee believes that hanging ear coffee not only preserves the original regional taste of coffee beans, but also retains the aroma of coffee very well.
The origin of hanging ear coffee
Hanging ear coffeeOriginated in Japan, in 1990, Yamanaka Industrial Co., Ltd. of Japan applied the concept of tea bags to coffee, invented filter coffee and applied for a patent. Hanging ear coffee was born for convenience. It does not require a good pot, temperature measuring instrument, scale, etc. You only need a cup, a pot of boiling water, and a pack of hanging ear coffee, and you can have fresh black coffee anytime and anywhere.
AndHanging ear coffeeWith the emergence of coffee beans, you no longer have to succumb to the taste of instant coffee. You can choose coffee beans according to your personal preferences. The aroma and flavor performance of hanging ear coffee are incomparable to instant coffee. However, FrontStreet Coffee pays great attention to the quality and freshness of coffee beans. As a coffee shop that focuses on beans, FrontStreet Coffee attaches great importance to the freshness of frontstreet coffee and Pour over(V60) single-origin coffee beans. They use freshly roasted beans. After everyone places an order, they are basically shipped on the same day, so that everyone can taste the best flavor of FrontStreet coffee.
You can also directly choose your favorite coffee beans at FrontStreet Coffee and make it directly into hanging coffee. FrontStreet Coffee can grind the beans instead, but if you buy Pour over(V60) coffee beans, FrontStreet Coffee still recommends that you grind them when brewing to get a richer aroma.
How to choose one that suits youHanging ear coffee？
When purchasing hanging coffee, you can consider the freshness, origin of the beans, and the coffee flavor of the beans. For example, in order to make it easier for customers to choose, FrontStreet Coffee's hanging coffee has divided the flavor of hanging coffee into five directions, namely fruity aroma, floral aroma, fermentation aroma, wine aroma and high body.
For fruity ear-hanging bags, FrontStreet Coffee recommends coffee beans from the Yirgacheffe production area in Ethiopia. For example, Front Street Washed Yirgacheffe Coffee is very good. During the cupping test, FrontStreet Coffee found that Front Street Washed Yirgacheffe has a clean and refreshing taste, with bright and rising acidity, with citrus acidity as the main tone, accompanied by the fresh jasmine fragrance and the aftertaste of honey.
For floral-flavored coffee, FrontStreet Coffee recommends Front Street Panama Gesha Coffee, because Panamanian Gesha Coffee is mainly planted in the Baru Volcano area in Poquete and grows in the volcanic area at an altitude of 1,600 meters. Through cupping, FrontStreet Coffee found that Front Street Panama Coffee performs quite well in terms of thickness, acidity, and floral aroma.
For wine-flavored coffee, if you like the fermented wine aroma of ripe fruits, FrontStreet Coffee recommends Front Street Bach from the Costa Rican Musician Series, or Front Street Mozart Coffee, both of which are very good. In addition, if some people prefer the aroma of whiskey, FrontStreet Coffee recommends Front Street Sherry coffee beans from Honduras, because during the processing of Front Street Sherry coffee beans, the green coffee beans are fermented in an oak barrel filled with whiskey aroma, allowing the coffee beans to absorb the aroma of whiskey. Therefore, this Front Street Honduran Sherry coffee bean will have the taste of whiskey sherry, rich rich vanilla cream, and a long-lasting nutty chocolate flavor in the back.
Everyone can choose the hanging ear coffee that suits them based on these aspects. In addition, many people are concerned about how much caffeine coffee contains.
Hanging ear coffeeHow much caffeine does it contain?
In fact, the caffeine content of each coffee is very different, and it is difficult to accurately say the caffeine content of each coffee. However, FrontStreet Coffee recommends that the daily caffeine intake should not exceed 400 mg, otherwise it will cause insomnia and affect rest.
But generally speaking, Robusta coffee has twice the caffeine content of Arabica coffee. Lightly roasted coffee beans have more caffeine than dark roasted beans because light roasted coffee is denser. In addition, the water to powder ratio will also affect the caffeine content. If more coffee powder is used, the caffeine content will be higher. Therefore, you can adjust the coffee concentration by adjusting the ratio of powder to water and the length of time for hanging ear coffee. Next is FrontStreet Coffee’s approach to ear-hanging coffee.
How to brew ear-mounted coffee
Hanging ear coffee is sometimes called a simplified version of Pour over(V60) coffee. That is because hanging ear coffee, like Pour over(V60) coffee, requires attention to the brewing ratio. Generally, FrontStreet Coffee recommends a brewing ratio of hanging coffee between 1:14 and 1:18. When brewing hanging coffee, you can also use the three-stage extraction method like Pour over(V60) coffee, because the three-stage extraction method can more fully extract the flavor substances of coffee and enhance the layering of coffee.
FrontStreet Coffee considers that the amount of powder for each store's ear-hanging coffee may be a little different, so when FrontStreet Coffee introduces to you about ear-hanging coffee, it uses its own FrontStreet Coffee ear-hanging bags as an example. Before brewing the hanging coffee, FrontStreet Coffee usually prepares the required hanging coffee, hot water and cups.
The first step is to preheat the cup. Then tear open the outer packaging of the ear-hanging coffee and take out the coffee filter bag inside.
In the second step, tear the coffee filter bag along the "open" tip, and then support the paper straps on both sides of the coffee hanging ear on the mouth of the cup or pot. Note that the mouth of the cup should not be too large, otherwise the coffee-hanging ears will not hang firmly.
Step three, start brewing coffee. Each FrontStreet Coffee bag contains 10 grams of coffee, and the recommended brewing ratio is 1:15. First, inject a small amount of hot water into the first section to ensure that all the coffee powder is moistened. Steam for 10 to 20 seconds. In the second section, inject water until it is almost full to allow the coffee liquid to drop. Finally, inject another section of water until it is full. There are three sections in total. Wait for the remaining coffee liquid to filter and enjoy.
The fourth step is to throw away the brewed coffee. Do not soak the hanging coffee in the coffee liquid for a long time, as it will extract a lot of bad coffee flavor. This relates to a problem often mentioned by FrontStreet Coffee. Do not brew hanging ear coffee multiple times, because the first brewing of hanging ear coffee has the best flavor. After multiple brewings, the flavor will become weaker, resulting in a bad coffee experience.
