Ear coffee is loved by coffee lovers for its convenient and convenient characteristics, so there are also many novice coffee lovers who ask Qianjie Coffee how to brew ear coffee, why the taste brewed by themselves is not right, what is the difference between instant coffee and hand-brewed coffee? Then the next article, Front Street Coffee, will come to popularize how to drink ear-hanging coffee and specific brewing techniques.

The origin of ear-hanging coffee

According to Qianjie Coffee, the emergence of ear-hanging coffee was in 1990, when Yamanaka Industrial Co., Ltd. of Japan applied the concept of tea bag to coffee, invented filter coffee and applied for a patent. However, Yamanaka Industrial's ear-hanging bag could not bear the weight of brewing coffee, and it was easy to lose balance during brewing, so it was not successfully commercialized. It was not until 1998 that Daiki Shoji improved the original invention and extended the ear hanging part outward, so that there was today's ear hanging coffee.

Japan itself is a country that loves coffee very much. The reason why it developed ear-hanging coffee at that time was because in that era, with the economic development, the pace of life began to accelerate. Many people who have become office workers did not have much time to make coffee by hand. If they rushed to make coffee by hand, the coffee that must be brewed would be difficult to drink, so the convenient ear-hanging coffee was born.

For example, most of the people who like to drink coffee in China are office workers. Compared with their own hand-brewed coffee, ear-hanging coffee really greatly improves the convenience. Secondly, the brewing method of ear-hanging coffee is also simpler than that of hand-brewed coffee. Therefore, ear-hanging coffee also improves the cost performance. However, according to Qianjie Coffee, many coffee lovers who have just come into contact with ear-hanging coffee do not know the correct brewing method of ear-hanging coffee. Then Qianjie Coffee will teach you!

The correct way to brew ear-hanging coffee

1. warm cup

Prepare the cup for brewing ear-hanging coffee. First pour some hot water into the warm cup. The effect is to make the brewed coffee not cool too fast, because the coffee will produce different flavors with the temperature drop, that is, the layering of flavors, so if the temperature drops too fast, it will miss many different tastes.

2. water temperature

Brewing temperature is very important, the recommended temperature between 85 and 90 degrees, if brewing coffee too bitter, you can try to lower the water temperature. On the other hand, if it is too light or too astringent, it can increase the water temperature, but the range should still be between 85 and 90 degrees.

3. hang back

Shake the ear bag slightly first, let the coffee powder fall, avoid the coffee powder scattering when tearing, then pour out the hot water in the cup, tear off the seal on the ear bag, open the paper ears on both sides, and shake to make the coffee powder flat, and finally hang it to the edge of the cup.

4. Pre-wet ear-hanging coffee bag

The first injection should be just enough to soak the coffee powder, too much or too little will affect the flavor, and then wait 20 seconds for the coffee powder to fully absorb the water. The strength of the coffee can be adjusted by pre-wetting time, which can be extended to 40 seconds to obtain stronger coffee.

5. water injection

The second water injection can be poured to eight minutes full of filter paper, preferably using slender water flow, until the water flow reaches the height of pre-wetting, you can continue to inject water to eight minutes full, until the quenching is 150 to 180cc, once the quenching is completed, do not wait for all the water in the filter paper to flow out, directly discard it.

The above is the correct brewing method of ear-hanging coffee. Secondly, Qianjie Coffee also understands that many people will have the following wrong brewing methods when brewing ear-hanging coffee. In this way, the flavor of ear-hanging coffee brewed will not be good, so coffee lovers should try not to brew like this!

The wrong way to make coffee

1. Brewing water volume too high or too low

First of all, Qianjie believes that some coffee lovers who are first exposed to ear-hanging coffee will throw ear-hanging coffee directly into the cup to soak hot water. In fact, this is not impossible, but the taste of coffee will be neutralized by water, so that the coffee taste will be weakened. Unless it is a person who likes to drink American light coffee, Qianjie recommends that 10g ear-hanging bags only need to be injected with 150cc-180cc of water. Otherwise, if this amount is exceeded, in addition to coffee flavor, it is easy to extract bad taste. For coffee lovers who want to drink a lighter flavor, Qianjie recommends brewing to 150cc, then removing the ear-hanging coffee bag and injecting hot water.

2. The ear bag has been soaked in water

Although the inspiration source of the ear bag is the tea bag, it does not mean that it is the same as the tea bag. Although the longer the bubble, the stronger the flavor, but at the same time of long-term soaking, the caffeine will continue to be released, resulting in the problem of over-extraction, so that the bad substances in the coffee will also come out, that is, bitter and smelly. Therefore, it is recommended that the ear bag should be thrown away or used as fertilizer after brewing for 4 minutes.

2. The temperature of coffee is not in the optimal extraction range

Ear coffee is actually ground into powder single coffee, then its temperature and hand coffee requirements are the same, so can not use too low temperature to brew, otherwise it will make coffee extraction insufficient, so also control the water temperature, the front street suggested that you can use just boiled water for 1-2 minutes to brew ear coffee.

4. Repeated brewing of ear-hanging coffee

How many times can coffee be brewed? The answer, of course, is only once. Just like the second point of Qianjie Coffee, the ear-hanging coffee cannot be soaked for a long time, which of course means that it cannot be brewed repeatedly, otherwise it will be a cup of coffee that tastes bad and hurts the body.

Advantages and disadvantages of coffee

The advantages and disadvantages of ear-hanging coffee can be seen from the above description of Qianjie Coffee. The advantage is portability. In addition, the coffee beans used in the ear-hanging coffee bag are also single-item coffee beans, but the grinding step is omitted after the ear-hanging bag is made, and the flavor can also be comparable to single-item coffee. The disadvantage is that it cannot be brewed repeatedly, nor can it be dissolved directly like instant coffee.

At the same time, there is also a point to note that the best taste period of ear-hanging coffee is also shortened by half the time compared with single-item coffee. The following front-street coffee will be popularized. Why is this?

Is Blue Mountain Coffee Really Blue Mountain?

Some friends want to drink Blue Mountain coffee, but there is no coffee brewing equipment, so there are simple and quick products such as Blue Mountain ear-hanging coffee on the market. But it also makes people wonder if such a high price of Blue Mountain coffee will be good to drink.

Basically, as long as it is made of real Blue Mountain coffee beans, you can drink good Blue Mountain flavor. As for dozens of pieces of Blue Mountain ear-hanging coffee, most of them are not produced in Blue Mountain producing areas of Jamaica. In the front street, generally will not be directly on the shelves of blue mountain ear-hanging coffee, if you need to buy can directly buy blue mountain coffee beans and then note made ear-hanging coffee and make up 20 yuan ear-hanging production costs can be.

Blue Mountain coffee beans are made into ear-hanging coffee. There is also one thing to pay attention to. It needs to be drunk as soon as possible, otherwise the flavor will dissipate quickly.

How long is the best taste period of coffee?

As mentioned in the front street above, the ear-hanging coffee bag is actually a single coffee ground into coffee powder in advance. The shelf life should be similar. However, in fact, the taste period of ear-hanging coffee will be shorter than that of coffee beans. This is because the production of ear-hanging coffee is to grind coffee beans into powder first, which also increases the surface area of coffee in contact with air and makes it even more difficult to preserve it. According to the practice of front-street coffee, ear-hanging coffee is obtained within two weeks. In order to completely drink the original aroma of coffee, but this requirement is only for coffee lovers who have requirements for flavor. If there is no high requirement for coffee aroma and flavor, then in fact, according to China's food law, the shelf life of coffee products is within one year, and coffee beans will not deteriorate during this period.

It is actually very difficult to make the taste period of ear-hanging coffee longer. According to the practice of Qianjie Street, even if vacuum packaging is used, it cannot suppress the disappearance of coffee aroma, because carbon dioxide will be released from the moment coffee beans are roasted. Therefore, careful coffee lovers can find that the packaging will be somewhat bulging when they receive ear-hanging coffee mailed by Qianjie Street, which means that this packet of coffee is packaged when it is fresh. So coffee lovers get their hands on it just in time for the best tasting period.

When the carbon dioxide in the coffee is released (about two weeks or so), it will begin to release the aroma, and there is no change on the surface, but the coffee has slowly deteriorated. If it is placed at room temperature for more than two weeks, the aroma of the coffee is probably gone, but because the ear bag is sealed, it can still smell when opened, but it is not so fragrant after brewing. That's why Qianjie advises coffee lovers to drink it within two weeks of receiving it, so they can taste it at its best.

Therefore, coffee lovers can see a lot of coffee bean packaging in the coffee market will be equipped with a breather valve, the purpose is to let the carbon dioxide of coffee can be released, so as not to break the packaging due to the expansion of carbon dioxide, on the one hand, it can avoid a large amount of air entering, but many coffee lovers who do not know will squeeze the breather valve to try the taste, but in fact, the life of coffee is shortened when the flavor is squeezed out, so even if the ear bag is equipped with a breather valve, not only is the cost high, Nor does it extend its sweet spot.

The above is the relevant content about the brewing method and characteristics of ear-hanging coffee organized by Qianjie Coffee, hoping to help coffee lovers understand ear-hanging coffee more so that they can use the correct brewing method in the future. Finally, there are also many coffee lovers who let Qianjie Coffee recommend a single coffee bean suitable for ear-hanging coffee. Then Qianjie Coffee will recommend several popular ear-hanging coffee brands.
