For more knowledge about specialty coffee, please pay attention to: Front Street Coffee (Frontsteet Coffee）
Hanging ear coffee does not require complicated tools, nor does it pay attention to water injection methods, time, and proportions. It does not need to be strictly controlled like hand brewing. It only needs to ensure enough hot water and a suitable ratio. Convenience is the biggest advantage of hanging ear coffee.
But also because of the "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 into powder in advance and put 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.
In order to retain the original flavor of coffee to the maximum extent, Front Street Hanging ear coffee is made from freshly roasted coffee beans. The coffee beans shipped by Front Street are all freshly roasted within 5 days. If they are made into hanging ear coffee, when we receive it, usually 4 to 5 days after roasting, we can start brewing and tasting it immediately. Front Street recommends drinking it as soon as possible after receiving it, otherwise the aroma of the coffee will be easily lost if stored for too long. If you want to taste the coffee with the fullest flavor, Front Street recommends buying whole beans, freshly ground and brewed, for a better flavor profile.
Hanging ear coffee buying guide
You must know that a cup of delicious coffee is inseparable from good beans.

Before brewing, boil the water and prepare a cup or small pot that can hold the coffee.

Then pull the two ears apart, pull the entire ear bag apart, and hang them over the rim of a cup or sharing pot.
First, pour a small amount of hot water into the first section to moisten the coffee powder and steam it.10～20Seconds, it helps to release the gas in the coffee powder, aiming to make the subsequent extraction more stable.
