Hanging ear coffee bags are drip extraction, and their design is derived from hanging tea bags. The inventor hopes 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 pieces on both sides of the filter bag can suspend the coffee bag in the center of the cup. Since the coffee beans are pre-ground and there is a lack of various brewing auxiliary equipment, the flavor will be slightly lacking. But what everyone likes is not just the "simplification" of the ear-mounted earphones, which allow us to quickly and conveniently get a cup of filtered black coffee in our daily life.
Since it is the simplest drip filtration method, we will definitely not complicate it by thinking of appliances such as electronic scales and thermometers that are only needed for manual brewing. Preparing the ear-mounted earphones is nothing more than a pot of boiling water, a long cup, and an ear-mounted ear-mounted bag. Even the amount of water to be filled is a matter of "guessing."
Keep it simple and keep the sense of ritual indispensable
The amount of water to be filled in a hot flush ear-hanging bag is relatively easy to determine. For example, the ear-hanging bag in a former street store is 10 grams per small bag. Follow the hand-washed powder to water ratio of 1:15 to 1:18. It is recommended to inject 150-180ml of water.
Usually, you first pour a small amount of hot water into the ear-hanging filter bag to moisten the coffee powder. Pour the first part to 1/2 of the filter bag and simmer for about ten seconds. Then pour water into the center twice in a row until the ear-hanging bag is 80% full. After all the coffee liquid in the filter bag has dripped out, continue to add water until the last section of filtering is completed. If the water is filled until it is completely full, the water accumulated in the upper layer will easily bypass the "powder layer" and filter directly from the side of the ear-hanging bag, resulting in a weak coffee taste. Front Street has tested it several times and poured water in three stages, which takes about one and a half minutes. The total water volume is basically about 150ml. If you want a lighter taste, add one more stage and fill it until it is 80% full, which is about 180ml.
In order to flush the powder layer more evenly and make it easier for the aroma and flavor substances to be released, Front Street recommends that it is best to inject a small amount of water into the ear bag multiple times to improve the extraction efficiency. When brewing ear-plugs, keep the water flow as small as possible throughout the process, otherwise the filter bag will be full in a few seconds, and subsequent water filling will be more difficult. A kettle with a slender mouth can help us better control the water flow.
Front Street recommends that the water flow should be concentrated at the center point, and the circle range should not be too large. If possible, control it to the size of a one-yuan coin.
Recommended types of hanging ear coffee brands
For those who like a balanced taste, that is, coffee that is neither sour nor bitter, we recommend Front Street Brazilian Coffee. Finally, those who love a solid and mellow taste are recommended to buy the highest-grade Front Street Golden Mandheling Coffee. This bean has undergone multiple hand selections to minimize the defect rate of coffee beans, thereby making the coffee aroma clearer and the aftertaste better. The above ear-hanging coffees can be purchased and placed at Front Street stores and Front Street Tmall flagship stores.
