No matter which type of hanging ear, the prerequisite for good flavor is that the coffee you buy must be fresh and just in the best tasting period of the coffee. Otherwise, no matter how delicious it is, you will not be able to truly taste a delicious coffee. Generally, experienced baristas and even coffee enthusiasts can tell how long the coffee has been stored by the smell, but ordinary consumers like us still honestly identify whether the coffee is fresh through the following methods.
1. Look at the production date
First of all, when buying coffee beans, first check the roasting date on the packaging of the coffee beans. The roasting date indicates the date marked on the coffee beans from the oven. It is best to drink it within one month after roasting.
Front Street Coffee is an old coffee bean roasting brand. The Front Street Coffee Guangzhou offline store specializes in selling coffee beans. The store sells dozens of selected single-origin Pour over(V60) coffee beans and Italian coffee beans from different coffee origins around the world. Front Street Coffee is freshly roasted within 5 days. The quality of the coffee beans is stable and excellent, the price is very cost-effective, and it is shipped within 24 hours.
2. Check the tasting period of the packaging bag
The packaging of coffee beans will be equipped with an exhaust valve to release the carbon dioxide in the coffee packaging to prevent the packaging bag from swelling and exploding. Front Street's ear-hanging coffee does not have a ventilation valve, because although the ventilation valve can be squeezed to smell the coffee aroma, when squeezed, it will release the aroma of the coffee and shorten the life of the coffee. Therefore, even if the ear-hanging bag is equipped with a ventilation valve, it will only increase the cost of the ear-hanging coffee, but it will not extend its best tasting period.
It is also recommended that you don’t buy a few months of coffee at a time just because you will get a discount if you buy too much coffee. The emphasis on coffee is freshness. If you buy so much coffee and you can’t finish it, the best tasting period of the coffee will be passed, and the brewed coffee will definitely not taste that good.
3. Choose your favorite coffee flavor
Hanging coffee is a simplified Pour over(V60) coffee, so just like Pour over(V60) coffee, what ultimately determines the flavor of the coffee is the coffee beans in the hanging coffee. For those who don’t know which type to choose, we recommend Front Street Yunnan Small Grain Coffee with a balanced taste and Front Street Yunnan Sundried Tiepika Coffee.
