Hanging-ear coffee, also known as filter-hanging coffee, is evolved from filter paper hand-brewed coffee. Who invented such a clever practice? The answer is Japanese. (no surprise! The Japanese are really admirable, mainly to provide consumers with convenient and fast hand-brewed coffee, which is indeed one of the reasons why consumers choose to buy hanging-ear coffee.

Generally speaking, the best taste period for coffee beans is within three months.

Where's the hanging-ear coffee? Within two weeks, no later than a month!

Because when making hanging-ear coffee, the coffee beans are ground into powder and then packaged. The surface area of coffee powder exposed to air is larger than that of coffee beans, which accelerates the interaction between coffee and air and constantly releases carbon dioxide. When the carbon dioxide of the coffee is about the same, it will slowly consume the aroma of the coffee itself. although it cannot be seen on the surface, when you actually drink it, you will find that the aroma is reduced and the taste will be bitter and astringent. So the editor suggests that we should try to finish the coffee within two weeks to a month.

Editor's Note: as mentioned earlier, coffee beans continue to interact with the air and release carbon dioxide after baking, so most of the earbags show a "bulging appearance" after being stored for a period of time. This means that earbags are produced when coffee beans are fresh.

After talking about two or three things about hanging-ear coffee, I'm going to get into the best part of this article, "brewing eyebrows"!

Brewing ears seems very simple, but there are still many small details, as the saying goes: the devil is hidden in the details, if these small details have been noticed, the brewed coffee will not lose hands to make coffee!

Hang ear bubble eyebrow corner small theater, action!

NG: take it directly to the water cooler and use "Please use hot water" to hang up your ears! I know that many office workers use this method because they are too busy. The editor used to be an office worker whose ass was glued to the chair. I feel the same way. )

Editor: force--! Water temperature is very important, but also an important key to brewing a cup of earbag. Too high water temperature will make the astringency of coffee super obvious and even a little bitterly scorched. The suitable temperature is about 90ml / 85. If there is no thermometer, it will probably be boiled for about 2 minutes before brewing. If it still doesn't work, you can only brew it with hot water directly, the editor suggests drinking it after it is a little cooler, it won't have a bitter taste.

NG: a package of hanging ears will cost 500c.c.

Editor: I know everyone is a petty bourgeoisie, but a bag of ears against 500cc is a bit of an exaggeration. Generally speaking, 1 g of coffee powder will match the water of 15--20cc, which translates to about 170--200cc (a little more than half a cup of a normal mug). If you want to drink a little light, you can add hot water after you finish it. If a bag of hanging ears constantly rushes to the 500cc, not only can not taste the rich level of coffee, what is worse, it will over-extract the bitterness, astringency, impurities and caffeine of coffee!

NG: after rinsing, keep the hanging ear in the cup all the time!

Editor: no, no, no. If you like to drink a little stronger, you can increase the water temperature but avoid more than 90 degrees, otherwise it is easy to smell scorched.

NG: directly treat the hanging ear as a tea bag!

Editor: oh--, are you kidding me? It is said that it is hanging ear coffee, it is too strange not to hang it on the cup-you can flatten the powder before brewing, so that the powder can be concentrated and evenly on the ear paper, so that no slag will accidentally run into the cup during brewing, and it can also be evenly extracted to prevent some powder from being over-extracted and some powder not yet wet.

NG: repeat brewing!

Editor: referee-- can anyone soak again and again like this? When a certain amount of coffee is extracted, only bitter hot water without coffee flavor will be brewed, and there will be a lot of caffeine and impurities. So I'd better not--
