What kind of cup is the best for hanging-ear coffee? Coffee cup vs mug competition

For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Why do you use a mug to make hanging-ear coffee a little easier? In fact, it has something to do with the principle of extraction.

Usually a bag of coffee hanging ear bag about 10 to 12g, the recommended brewing method is to use 180~200cc hot water, is a more suitable concentration. If the same earbag is brewed with a larger mug, filling it with water will make it more watery and taste less good, so exquisite baristas usually do not recommend using mugs to make strained coffee.

However, as long as a good amount of water, with a mug can also make a moderate concentration and special flavor of good coffee!

It's the difference between taking a shower and taking a bath!

In general, the coffee cup is about 200cc. When the water is slowly injected into the cup, because the cup is shallow, the coffee powder will still be soaked in water for a short period of time before the water is completely filled. At this time, the coffee powder is like "soaking" a hot bath in the cup. Various flavor substances in the coffee are washed out with the hot water and evenly mixed in the cup.

As long as you control the amount of water, use the same amount of hot water (about 180~200cc) to brew the same coffee, and you can feel different taste in a different cup.

When using a mug to brew an earbag, when the water passes through the coffee powder, it will also dissolve the various flavors of the coffee into the cup, but because the mouth of the mug is deep, the coffee powder in the filter bag will not be soaked in water, just like "taking" a hot bath. so the most prominent flavor in each bean will be particularly obvious, such as special fruit acid or flower aroma, which can be easily identified by blind test.

So the taste of the coffee "soaking in the bath" will be more balanced, while the taste of the coffee soaked in the mug "shower" can feel the unique taste of the individual coffee, which can be changed simply, just like using a hand brew or a mocha pot with different flavors, and each has its own favorite people. choose the way you like to enjoy the coffee!

Don't worry about drinking earbags.
