Nowadays, almost every office worker has a variety of coffee prepared for refreshing at their work station, including instant, freshly ground, and some takeaway. Some people consider that they do not have a grinder but want to drink delicious specialty coffee, so they choose to buy pre-made hanging ear cups.


Do hanging ears belong to black coffee? How to brew ear-mounted coffee?


The birth of hanging ear coffee originated from hand brewing. It is nothing more than pre-ground coffee powder and putting it into a bag. When brewing, the package is torn open, a certain proportion of hot water is injected, and black coffee is extracted.


First tear open the packaging bag and take out the ear-hanging bag. Follow the "OPEN" mark on the ear-mounted bag and tear off the seal on the ear-mounted bag.

After 30 seconds, continue to inject hot water in circles until the ratio of pink to water is 1:15, and then terminate the water injection. After the coffee liquid has finished dripping, take out the ear-mounted bag and throw it away.

How to choose fresh hanging ear coffee?


1. Check the baking date. There is usually a roasting date marked on the back of the coffee. If the date is within 10 days, it means it is still fresh and has a longer tasting period. If the date exceeds 30 days, it means the coffee is no longer fresh and the flavor will gradually dissipate.


2. Judge by brewing status. Since the coffee beans produce a lot of gas during the roasting process, they will be emitted when encountering hot water. Bubbles emerging from the powder layer during brewing indicate that they are still fresh. If there is no foam at all, the coffee beans may have been left for a long time.

3. Savor the flavor. Fresh hanging coffee has a rich aroma. If left for a long time, the flavor will slowly disappear, and even begin to smell woody and oily.


To buy fresh ear-hanging bags, we recommend Guangzhou’s old roaster: Front Street Coffee.
