For those who like to drink black coffee, it is very inconvenient to have a cup of Pour over(V60) coffee when you are on a business trip, traveling, or at work, so hanging ear coffee is the best choice. Of course, as everyone's love for coffee goes beyond simply drinking coffee in a cafe, they are also pursuing the process of enjoying the brewing process at home.
Ear-mounted coffee seems simple, but many friends still don’t know the specific operation process. They treat ear-mounted coffee as a tea bag soaked in a cup. No wonder the taste is very weak. The hanging coffee on Qian Street is very popular, especially the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe hanging coffee on Qian Street. It seems that there are many friends who like floral and fruity coffee!
Why is it called"Ear hanging"?
The earliest hanging ear coffee was1990Invented by Yamanaka Sangyo Co., Ltd. in Japan in 2007, its design concept originated from the lanyard tea bag. The inventor hoped to simulate Pour over(V60) drip coffee by preparing the coffee powder in advance and putting it into a non-woven filter bag. The paper on both sides of the filter bag can suspend the coffee bag in the center of the cup. Because it sticks to both sides of the cup like little ears, people call it "ear-hung coffee."2002Beginning in 2008, the Japanese registered a patent for ear-hook coffee pods and promoted them to the market. Such a convenient and neat design suddenly became the mainstream of the market.
Hanging ear coffee is a kind of portable coffee in which coffee beans are ground and sealed in a filter bag. The hanging ear coffee on Front Street is all ground and packaged with fresh coffee beans.
The hanging ear is a filter extraction method like hand brewing, but compared to the operation of hand brewing, the hanging ear is much more convenient and faster. This is why it is said that hanging ear coffee is walking coffee.?The minimum equipment required for Pour over(V60) coffee is: brewing kettle, thermometer, filter cup and filter paper, grinder, timing scale, etc. Since the hanging ear is ground in advance, there is no need to equip it with grinding equipment. Filter bags are usually made of degradable non-woven fabric. Water can extract the soluble substances in the coffee powder and seep through the non-woven fabric. There is no need to prepare filter paper and filter cups for brewing.
The water injection method, time and proportion of hanging ear coffee do not need to be controlled as strictly as hand brewing. Just ensure that there is enough hot water and a suitable proportion. But also becauseWith "casual" operation, the flavor of coffee is often not as rich and varied as Pour over(V60) coffee. In addition, the ear-hanging bag is ground in advance and packed into the packaging bag, so the aroma is not as full as freshly ground coffee. If stored for too long for more than a few months, it may produce some woody taste. Therefore, Front Street Club recommends buying freshly ground coffee beans to drink more delicious coffee.
Front Street hanging ear coffee brewing steps:
Most of the ear-hanging coffees come in small packages, like the ear-hanging bags on Qian Street.10grams/Pack of coffee powder, using1:15powder to water ratio, so it needs to be injected150grams of hot water. Front Street believes that brewing the hanging ear is very casual. If you want to drink stronger black coffee, you can reduce the water used to brew the hanging ear; if you want to drink lighter black coffee, just increase the amount of water. As long as you like it.
1, First of all, we need to prepare a container for coffee, either a sharing pot or a drinking cup, and a kettle for filling with water.
2, first tear open the sealed package, take out the coffee ear bag, and tear open the non-woven bag along the dotted line above.
3, pull the two ears apart, pull the entire ear hanging bag apart, and then hang them on the edge of the cup or sharing pot.
4. First, wet the coffee powder in the first section and steam it.10～20seconds. 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 flows out.
Pour in the last amount of water until it is full, wait until all the coffee liquid is dripped, take away the ear-mounted coffee bag, shake it gently to evenly distribute the coffee, and you can start enjoying it.
Although the brewing of hanging ear coffee is very casual, there are still small details that need to be paid attention to:
Hanging ear coffee is also coffee, it is just ground coffee powder in advance, but it does not affect the characteristics of different coffee flavors in different coffee producing areas, but the aroma is not as rich and full. In terms of water temperature, attention should be paid to controlling the86～93Degrees Celsius, if the water temperature is too low, the coffee extraction efficiency will be slow, and under-extraction may easily occur. If you can't raise the water temperature, lengthen the contact time between the coffee grounds and hot water, which means soaking it longer.
If the water flow injected is too fast, the extraction time of the coffee powder will be short, and the coffee taste will tend to be weak. Therefore, it is best to use a small and steady water flow throughout the process to make the extraction of the powder layer more uniform.

Front Street Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) Brewing Recommendations:
Whether the coffee tastes good or not is directly related to the variety of coffee, but you also need to pay attention to the freshness of the coffee beans. Front Street believes that the freshness of the coffee beans is a very important part of brewing. Front Street Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) The coffee beans shipped are roasted according to the time5During the day, the purpose of Front Street Roasting is "freshly roasted and good coffee", so that every customer who places an order will receive the freshest coffee. The growing period of coffee beans is4-7It takes about a day or so, so the flavor is at its best when customers get it.
For those who need to grind the coffee beans, Front Street would like to remind you that if the coffee beans are ground in advance, there is no need to raise the beans. Because during the transportation process, the pressure generated by the carbon dioxide in the packaging can also make the coffee flavor mellower, so you can make a cup of coffee immediately after receiving the coffee powder. But the coffee powder needs to be brewed in time, because the coffee powder oxidizes quickly when exposed to air, which means that the flavor of the coffee will dissipate relatively quickly, and the flavor of the coffee will not be so good. Therefore, Front Street recommends buying whole beans and grinding them freshly, so that you can better taste the flavor of the coffee.
