For more knowledge about specialty coffee, please pay attention to: Front Street Coffee (Frontsteet Coffee）
In the era when coffee was not yet popular, instant coffee was a very popular product. Nowadays, people’s demand for coffee is getting higher and higher. They not only want to taste it in coffee shops, but also want to brew it themselves. When facing going out or traveling, Front Street believes that hanging ear coffee is a very good choice.
In Japan, they're called "ear-hung drip coffee bags." The pre-filled bag has nifty folding wings that hang neatly over the side of your coffee cup, securing the bag near the top of your drinking container so you can pour hot water for a quick, specialty coffee. Hanging ear coffee is very popular in various places such as camping trips or out-of-office offices, because each bag of coffee powder is weighed in advance and wrapped in an outer bag, so you can take it on the go, and there is no need to clean any brewing equipment after making coffee.
Many people ask Front Street, can you directly soak the bag of coffee powder in water for hanging ear coffee? Just like making tea. The answer is, yes, but it won’t taste very good.
Correct way to drink:
Tear open the filter bag of coffee
2. Hang the plywood on the cup
After tearing open the package, pull apart the cardboard on both sides and hang it on a cup of suitable size. Generally, an ordinary mug can be used normally. Avoid using a cup with a mouth that is too large to prevent the splint from being fixed. In this step, you can first smell the dry aroma of the coffee. In addition to judging whether the coffee powder is fresh, you can also taste different coffee aromas.
3. Steamed coffee powder
Prepare hot water of about 85 to 92 degrees Celsius, start pouring water from the center point, stop when the coffee powder is completely soaked, and wait for 30 seconds. This action is called steaming, and the coffee powder will expand slightly, expelling the carbon dioxide in the coffee powder, making the water flow smoother for subsequent brewing.
4. Extract coffee
Slowly pour hot water into the coffee powder to extract the flavor of the coffee. When brewing, you can let the water flow around the filter to ensure that the hot water soaks all the coffee powder. 11g of coffee powder can brew about 180ml of coffee. If you are not sure about the amount of water, just fill the non-woven coffee bag with hot water twice.
5. After finishing brewing, remove the ear bag from the cup and enjoy delicious filter coffee. The brewed ear bag can be thrown away directly or placed in the refrigerator for deodorization.
