Coffee filter bags don't cause cancer, and they're not paper.

The steps of brewing hanging-ear coffee

Hand-brewed coffee has swept a trend in Taiwan in recent years. High-quality hand-brewed coffee is the third wave of coffee. Everyone has a great chance to encounter high-quality coffee, such as Louisa Coffee, Cama Coffee and Gold Coffee, which have all been sold in Taiwan, meaning that this wave has swept into our lives. And in some areas, if you come into contact with something of better quality, there will be "I can't go back!" For example, some people cannot go back to the low-cost headphones after hearing the better ear opportunity; in the coffee world, if they are used to the higher quality Italian concentrated latte, they will not go back to the super grade; but in the boutique coffee, perhaps many people feel that the threshold for entry is a little vague, and they will start with "hanging-ear coffee", which is also the coffee product that this article mainly introduces.

Hand brewing coffee-hanging ears is a way of hand brewing.

Generally speaking, hand coffee will need to use bean grinder, hand pot, filter cup, filter paper, coffee pot and so on. For those who like to drink and study coffee, these utensils are necessary and it is easy to tell which product belongs to what type of equipment, but it is a great knowledge for a novice who wants to get in touch with it. The flow rate of the hand pot can stumble a novice.

On the other hand, hanging-ear coffee solves part of the problem.

In fact, hanging-ear coffee is also a kind of hand-brewed coffee, which means Drip Bag Coffee coffee bag. Hanging-ear coffee brewing method is similar to hand-brewed coffee, and the hanging-ear filter bag is filter paper, while sellers usually fill the coffee bean grinder first and then seal the film, which eliminates the need for a bean grinder and does not have to use a hand pot in the brewing process. However, if you want to ask how the coffee tastes better than the traditional hand-brewed coffee, the answer is probably the traditional hand-brewed coffee. After all, you can make brewing adjustments according to the characteristics of each kind of beans. By simplifying these adjustments, you can still make a good grade of coffee, and it is even recommended to test / try the taste and quality of coffee beans in a coffee shop.

The importance of grinding beans: grinding is the freshest

The first thing to say is the contact area, which is a great factor. Because the contact area of powdered coffee is much larger than that of beans, it is a very important action to grind beans into powder during brewing and extraction. Different bean grinders can handle different thicknesses, and the finer the machine is, the more expensive the machine is. In general, the thickness of hand-brewed coffee can be handled by using a bean grinder of about 3000. It is necessary to concentrate Espresso to very fine particles.

So is this kind of packing suitable for hanging ears? The answer is to look at the treatment method and treatment time, the longer you come into contact with the air after grinding, the easier it is to lose the aromatic molecules, that is, the so-called lack of freshness. The way to judge the freshness of coffee beans is to see whether fresh carbon dioxide bubbles will appear during steaming, which is also used on ear-hanging coffee, so you should pay attention to the date of grinding and baking beans when buying. If the coffee powder is placed for too long, it will cause insufficient flavor of the extract and make a bad cup of coffee.

Therefore, it is also recommended to buy a bean grinder and a 'hanging ear bag' to make our own hanging-ear coffee, choose coffee beans when buying, start grinding beans before brewing, put them in a hanging ear bag, and brew them, so that we can also enjoy the taste of hand-brewed coffee.

Can the ear bag of hanging-ear coffee cause cancer?

At the end of 2016, a professor proposed that hanging-ear coffee may cause cancer, which made many people retreat from hanging-ear coffee. The argument is how the paper does not break when it is wet, and that normal paper will feel wet and rotten soon when it comes into contact with water. In order to solve this situation, a wet strength agent was added to the paper, but these allegations are completely empty topics.

How can it be said to be an empty topic?

Because the earbags for filtering coffee are basically made of 'non-woven fabric', almost all of them are imported from Japan and patented by Daji Commercial Co., Ltd. and Yamanaka Industrial Co., Ltd., and do not contain paper ingredients. There will be no problem with wet strength agents, so this problem is not a problem at all. If you look at the earbag carefully, there are many holes with a thinner origin, and after the coffee is quenched, the water will flow out of these thinner holes, forming the coffee we drink.

It's not made of paper, so it is?

Non-woven cloth is actually made of plastic in No. 1 Middle School. In the early days, it was made of PET. PET is the material used in the bottle, and we all know that the bottle cannot withstand heat, so under the competition between the two companies, Yamanaka Industry Co., Ltd. has developed a polypropylene material made of PP, which can withstand heat at about 140C, and now the products on the market have been tested by the Taiwan government for safety earbags made of PP material. As a result, it reduces the suspicion of causing cancer.

The recommendation of hanging-ear coffee

Make it yourself

The self-made hanging-ear coffee is probably better than the hanging-ear coffee you are looking for directly in the store. Buy coffee beans or coffee powder, buy PP polypropylene hanging ear bags on the network, and then weigh the coffee powder and add it to the hanging ear bag when brewing. Put in enough coffee powder so as not to cause the coffee to flow too fast, lack of extraction, and drink less coffee.
