Since coffee began to develop rapidly in the Chinese market, more and more young people have chosen to use coffee to refresh themselves and regard it as a workplace artifact. It is precisely because of its popularity that a cup of coffee every day seems to have become a habit for workers. When the coffee shop is not opened downstairs in your office building, many people will choose the more affordable instant coffee.
However, the growth of China's coffee market has also gradually cultivated many coffee lovers. They have begun to pursue the quality of coffee. Many people will try single-origin coffee beans from different production areas. Going to boutique cafes often requires a large expense and is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, many people choose to brew coffee at home. But what you need to know is that the steps of making coffee by hand are also quite complicated, so customers often ask FrontStreet Coffee how to make coffee that is both delicious and simple? Front Street highly recommends hanging ear coffee.
Ear-hung coffee is now very common. Every coffee shop on the Internet will provide the service of making ear-hung coffee bags, and Front Street is no exception. Many home-brew coffee shops will also provide the service of making ear-hung coffee bags. This is convenient for many coffee lovers and many migrant workers who often travel for business. At the FrontStreet Coffee store, hanging ear coffee has always been one of the must-have items for nearby neighbors when traveling. But you know what? Even the easy-to-use, convenient and fast way to brew coffee with ear-mounted coffee requires certain skills. Many customers who come to buy ear-hanging bags will ask about FrontStreet CoffeeThe correct way to brew ear-mounted coffee, in fact, the correct way to brew ear-mounted coffee is to brew it as Pour over(V60) coffee. Next, Front Street will come and tell you about it.Advanced version of hanging coffee brewing。
When Front Street is brewing coffee, he will be asked why the cup needs to be warmed before brewing. It sounds simple to preheat your coffee cup with hot water before pouring it into the cup, but you can bet it will make some subtle differences in the flavor of your brew. The purpose of preheating the coffee cup in advance is to maintain the temperature of the coffee. Everyone knows that the flavor of a good cup of coffee will change as the temperature changes. If you directly use a room-temperature coffee cup to extract hanging coffee, the temperature of the coffee liquid will drop significantly when it hits the coffee cup, causing you to lose the coffee flavor at high temperatures.
Before we tear open the outer packaging of the ear-mounted coffee and the opening of the ear-mounted bag, we should ensure the temperature of the brewing water. This depends on the type of coffee you have. You can follow the instructions on the ear-hanging bag, or you can try FrontStreet Coffee's usual practice. The water temperature of dark roasted coffee beans should be controlled at 86-89 degrees, and the water temperature of light roasted coffee should be controlled between 90-93 degrees. When everything is ready, we start the correct brewing method of hanging ear coffee: the first step is steaming. Use twice the amount of water as the amount of coffee powder. Generally speaking, the weight of hanging ear coffee is about 10 grams, and the amount of water for stewing and steaming is about 20 grams. Pour water from the center outward to ensure that all the coffee grounds are wet.
Why steam it? Because the main purpose of steaming is to discharge the carbon dioxide in the coffee powder as quickly as possible. Without this, after all the coffee powder comes into contact with water, the subsequent extraction will be easier to extract the flavor substances in the coffee. Then fill it with water in circles from the center outward to the amount of water you need. If you don’t have a scale, you can mark the capacity of the cup.
In addition to these, Front Street also has other techniques for brewing ear-mounted coffee. Everyone knows that there are three major factors that affect Pour over(V60) coffee: grinding size, water temperature, and powder-to-water ratio. I introduced the water temperature to everyone in front of the street, and now I want to discuss with you the powder-to-water ratio and grinding degree. When you get the ear-hanging coffee bag, it has already been ground into powder, and the grinding degree is determined by the merchant. On Front Street, the grind size of hanging coffee is the same as that of Pour over(V60) coffee, because they are both drip coffee. But if you make coffee at home, you should pay attention to changing the grinding degree of coffee beans according to the transformation of coffee brewing equipment. The suitable coffee grinding beans for each type of coffee brewing equipment are different. Front Street has compiled a chart here for you, you can refer to it:
The water-to-powder ratio is a commonplace topic. If the water ratio is too large, the taste of coffee will become lighter. Front Street generally calls this "watery". If the water ratio is too small, its concentration will increase and the overall taste will become thicker.
If the steps and methods are the same, what is the difference between hanging ear coffee and Pour over(V60) coffee? Front Street believes that the biggest difference between Pour over(V60) coffee and hanging coffee is the different methods of coffee brewing. Hand-brewed coffee requires certain equipment, such as a filter cup, a Pour over(V60) kettle, and a grinder. In contrast, hanging coffee only requires a small coffee package to enjoy delicious coffee. Another point is that the coffee powder for hanging ear coffee is pre-ground in advance, while for Pour over(V60) coffee, the powder is generally not ground in advance. It is best to grind the powder within the first two minutes of brewing.
Some neighbors come to Front Street and ask if hanging ear coffee can be brewed repeatedly. It’s best not to drink coffee beans for their taste. After the first brewing, the essence of the coffee beans has been extracted, and the rest is bitter. Second brewing will not harm a person's health, but the taste will become watery and the astringency will increase. Therefore, Front Street strongly does not recommend repeated brewing. If you really don’t want to waste it, you can reuse coffee grounds to absorb odors, fertilize, etc. Coffee grounds have unlimited possibilities. You can try to explore the possibility of recycling coffee grounds.
Although hanging ear coffee seems to have become popular in Front Street, Front Street looks at it from the perspective of the coffee circle. The Chinese market is very large, and coffee has just started. Therefore, there are still many people who have never been exposed to ear-mounted coffee, so they will have questions about whether ear-mounted coffee is black coffee. In fact, hanging ear coffee is made by putting ground coffee powder into a non-woven bag, soHanging ear coffee is black coffeeOh.
