The coffee powder is put in a filter bag, and the splints on both sides are hung on the cup. After flushing, you can throw it away, so that you can enjoy the freshness of brewing coffee like filter drops at home.

How much coffee is more suitable for a bag of earbags?

It is suggested that about 10g coffee powder brew 200cc or so is more mellow. You can increase or decrease according to your own taste. If you flush out too many portions, in addition to the light coffee, it is also easy to extract the bad taste.

The longer you soak, the stronger the flavor?

Some people will think that the longer the brew, the stronger the flavor, but if you soak for too long, it is easy to extract too many unpleasant flavors and flush out the impurities in the coffee beans. It is recommended that when the amount of water arrives, stop injecting water and soak the coffee powder for about 30 seconds to make a rich and delicious coffee.

Do not flush back the earbags that have been brewed, or you will only drink bad coffee because of over-extraction.
