Nowadays, many people like coffee, especially in this fast-paced and stressful situation. No matter it is life, when they get up early in the morning, they all want a cup of coffee. However, due to time issues, it is impossible to brew freshly brewed coffee at home. Instead, you need to rush to the office. At this time, instant coffee or hanging ear coffee are strongly welcomed. Both are very convenient to carry, and the brewing method is similar, so what is the difference between the two? Front Street will tell you the difference between the two.

Of course, the two are definitely not as flavorful as freshly ground and brewed coffee, especially instant coffee. Hanging ear coffee is relatively better, because the single-origin coffee beans are ground and packaged, unlike instant coffee, which needs to be extracted. So the flavor is still a little different. Let’s first take a look at what is instant coffee and what is hanging ear coffee.

What is instant coffee?

Instant coffee is made by grinding roasted coffee beans under a certain temperature and pressure. The active ingredients in the coffee are extracted into water and then dried. The production uses vacuum concentration to facilitate the drying process. The manufacturing process of instant coffee determines that the coffee loses all its natural aroma and essence during processing. Most of the so-called coffee flavor you taste is simulated with artificial flavors.

Hang-on coffee is a type of portable coffee in which coffee beans are ground and sealed in a filter bag. It is an instant coffee. Coffee brewing is completed through drip filtering, which perfectly embodies the sour, sweet, bitter, mellow and aroma in coffee. The ear-hanging bag retains the aroma of coffee and the original regional flavor. Coffee brewing is done through drip filtering. As long as there is hot water and an open cup by your side, you can taste the taste of specialty coffee at any time.

Because coffee beans are plant fibers and are insoluble in water, instant coffee will dissolve, because instant coffee is not a pure coffee product, but concentrated coffee with chemicals added, which is not good for health. The coffee powder of pure coffee is not soluble in water, but can form a solid-liquid extract, that is, coffee liquid.
