2026.10.20 FrontStreet Coffee 246

Recently, many people have come to FrontStreet Coffee to ask if they sell ear-hanging coffee. FrontStreet usually replies, "The store does not have any stock of ear-hanging coffee. If necessary, it needs to be made on site!"Many customers will be confused as to why the coffee shop doesn't even prepare a mere amount of hanging coffee in advance. It needs to be made now, and it is easier to buy it from the supermarket container.

 
The biggest enemy of delicious coffee is time
 
The shelf life of hanging ear coffee is usually 12-18 months, but this period is only a period to ensure food quality and safety, and it has no control over whether it tastes good or not. The period that users really care about is the tasting period, and this period is particularly short in the field of coffee beans (powder).

Front Street has done a series of comparisons of coffee beans. After using coffee beans roasted within 4 days to make coffee beans, the flavor will disappear after about 3 weeks based on the number of days from the roasting date (note: here we are talking about flavor, aroma, sweet and sour taste). Anaerobic coffee can last longer, about 1 month (this does not exclude the "super standby" of some coffee beans).

Therefore, it only takes about 20 days for ear-mounted coffee to really allow you to drink a cup of delicious coffee. This is also the reason why Front Street insists on not pre-stocking the ear-hanging coffee and making it again when there is an order, and the specification of a pack is 10 small packs, which ensures that customers can drink it within the tasting period under the consumption of one pack per day.
 
Why does the tasting period of hanging ear coffee be so short?
 
This is about how to make hanging ear coffee. Generally, for hanging ear coffee, you need to grind coffee beans into coffee powder, then put the coffee powder into the inner bag of the hanging ear, heat seal it, and then put the inner bag of the hanging ear bag into the outer packaging bag and heat seal it. In this way, a small bag of hanging ear coffee is completed.

The number one reason for a short tasting period is pre-ground coffee. With the popularization of specialty coffee, everyone has gradually realized that freshly ground coffee has a great impact on the flavor. Coffee powder that has been ground into powder will lose carbon dioxide and flavor more quickly. Friends who have bought the ear-hanging bag can pay close attention to it. The ear-hanging bag they just got is flat and has no excess air. After leaving it for a few days, the outer packaging bag bulges, which is the loss of carbon dioxide and flavor.

Therefore, when Front Street makes ear-hanging products on-site, he will try to increase the speed to reduce the loss of flavor. And users should taste it as soon as possible when drinking.


Recommended coffee beans suitable for making ear hangings


Many office workers ask Front Street to recommend some coffee beans suitable for making ear-hanging coffee bags. The bean list of Front Street has more than 50 single-origin coffee beans from different production areas, all of which can be made into ear-hanging coffee bags. Below Front Street recommends several hanging ear coffee bars with more classic flavors.


1. FrontStreet Coffee - Washed Yirgacheffe Tintin Cooperative Hanging-ear Coffee

The coffee beans from Front Street Guodingding Cooperative are produced in the famous Yirgacheffe production area in Ethiopia. The coffee beans are washed after being picked. Traditionally, Yirgacheffe coffee uses the oldest method of sun-drying. However, because most of the sun-dried coffee beans in the early days were dried on the flat ground, they were inevitably contaminated with earthy dust and other foreign smells. Coupled with the lack of reasonable screening, the quality of sun-dried beans was average. In 1972, Ethiopia introduced washing technology from Central and South America in order to improve the quality of its coffee, making Yirgacheffe coffee's jasmine aroma and bright acidity of citrus and lemon clearer and translucent, making it one of the representatives of fine coffee in the world.

2. FrontStreet Coffee - Brazilian Queen Manor hanging ear coffee
Queen's Manor is located in the Morgiana production area in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. It is different from many large-scale production areas in Brazil that rely on quantity. The terrain here is higher, forming a relatively unique micro-climate. In addition, the manor manually picks coffee fruits with suitable maturity. Each batch is processed with a small amount of exquisite techniques, and the quality of the coffee beans produced are mostly high-quality. Queen's Manor is most proud of the yellow bourbon variety, which has won multiple awards in the Brazilian COE competition with its exquisite and delicate flavor. The Queen's Manor coffee beans from Front Street are roasted in a medium-dark color, which highlights the classic mellow aroma of Brazilian coffee, and at the same time shows the sweetness of bourbon itself. Not only can we drink the rich coffee aroma, but also the taste has a clear aftertaste.

First, we need to prepare a cup for coffee (any clean container, including a sharing pot or drinking cup), a pot for filling water, and enough boiling hot water.

Tear open the sealed package, take out the coffee ear bag, and tear open the non-woven bag along the dotted line above. Pull the two ears apart, pull the entire ear bag apart, and hang them over the rim of a cup or sharing pot.

First, use a small amount of hot water to moisten the coffee powder and steam it for about 10 seconds. The second section of small water flow is injected steadily until the liquid level is close to full, and waits for the coffee liquid to drop. Until the coffee liquid has finished flowing out and the powder grounds at the bottom are exposed, we start to inject the last section of water. The hot water is also flush with the filter bag. When all the coffee liquid drips into the cup, shake it gently and evenly, and you can start enjoying it.
