Driven by the third wave of boutique coffee, the demand for coffee taste is getting higher and higher, and the coffee flavor is more inclined to the flavor of the coffee producing area, in which hand-brewed coffee is the dominant position. In addition, hanging-ear coffee is equivalent to a simplified version of hand-brewed coffee, which is very popular because of its convenience. The front street of this article will share with you the problems that need to be paid attention to when buying hanging-ear coffee.

What is hanging-ear coffee?

Hanging-ear coffee is very similar to hand-brewed coffee. Hanging-ear coffee is a kind of simplified hand-brewed coffee, which belongs to a relatively simple way of brewing coffee. It originated in Japan and is gradually known with the tide of boutique coffee.

Why does Qianjie compare hanging-ear coffee to a simple version of brewing coffee? because hanging-ear coffee is by grinding the fresh coffee into a suitable coffee powder, then putting it into a filter paper bag and packing it into a small independent package. The grams of coffee powder are also different. Like Qianjie coffee, the grams of hanging-ear coffee is generally 10 grams, which is very easy to carry.

Matters that should be paid attention to when buying hanging-ear coffee

Just like Qianjie mentioned a small detail above, that is, compared with hand-brewed coffee, hand-brewed coffee is grinding beans before brewing, and the hanging-ear coffee we buy is generally ground, so the best taste period of hanging-ear coffee will be relatively short. Even if the hanging-ear coffee is freshly ground coffee powder, it will lead to the loss of flavor with the increase of storage time.

Therefore, when you buy hanging-ear coffee, you have to look at the production date. Although the production date of hanging-ear coffee is 6 to 18 months, but this is only the shelf life of coffee, the most important thing about coffee is the best taste period of coffee. The best taste period for hanging-ear coffee is usually two weeks. Therefore, Qianjie suggests that when buying hanging-ear coffee, it is just enough to drink for two weeks.

How to choose and buy the common hanging-ear coffee on the market?

The final flavor of hanging-ear coffee is determined by the flavor of coffee beans, so what kind of coffee beans we buy determines the flavor of hanging-ear coffee. So how do you choose a kind of hanging-ear coffee that suits you? Here are some tips from Front Street Coffee.

Hand-brewed coffee beans can be divided into two kinds, one is single coffee beans, the other is mixed beans. Beans of hanging-ear coffee can also be classified in this way. A single product refers to single-origin beans, which are usually named after the producing area, such as Yegashifi coffee beans, Guatemalan coffee beans and so on. The hanging-ear coffee of Qianjie coffee belongs to individual coffee beans, such as Qianjie Shirley hanging-ear coffee, golden manning coffee beans and so on. The mixed beans are coffee beans from multiple producing areas, which match the coffee flavor you want through the matching of beans.

Another tip for buying hanging-ear coffee is to look at the flavor description on the package. For example, citrus, cream, jasmine and other flavor words are to describe the flavor tendency of hanging-ear coffee, these are some professional words to describe the flavor of coffee, we can use these words as a reference.

The third trick is to look at the treatment of coffee beans. The most common treatments of raw coffee beans are sun treatment, water washing treatment and honey treatment. Washed coffee beans taste the cleanest and brightest, sun treatment is on the basis of washing treatment, to increase aroma and sweetness, and honey treatment is the most sweet treatment. If you hesitate between these three treatments, Qianjie suggests that you first consider the washed coffee beans, because the washed coffee beans best represent the flavor of a producing area.

So which brewing methods of hanging-ear coffee are wrong?

1. Make it a cup full of mugs at a time.

Qianjie Coffee recommends that the amount of water brewed by hanging-ear coffee is 160cc~200cc, because beyond this amount, the coffee will not only become lighter, but also extract bad flavors such as bitterness. So if you want to drink something light, you should add hot water to your suitable shade after rushing to the stop of 160cc~200cc.

two。 After brewing, continue to soak the coffee bag in the cup.

Soaking in this way does thicken the coffee, but it also extracts bad ingredients such as caffeine and bitterness.

3. Brew coffee bags by brewing tea bags

Pour the hot water into the porcelain cup and then throw the coffee bag into the water, when the water temperature has plummeted, not enough to extract the delicious coffee. Our thoughtful suggestion on the back of the bag is that the water temperature is 90 degrees C, which means that the hot water of 90 degrees C should continue to pass through the coffee powder so that delicious coffee can be brewed.

4. It's a pity that such a big bag of coffee should not be brewed.

Hanging-ear coffee can only be brewed once, and the coffee brewed at this time is full of beautiful flavor. If you brew more than twice, the bitter caffeine will continue to be released.

These are all the questions that you need to consider when making hanging-ear coffee. Next, the correct brewing method of hanging-ear coffee is attached in front of the street.

How to make a delicious cup of hanging-ear coffee?

One warm cup-

Get the cup ready and pour in some hot water cups first. The effect is that the brewed coffee will not cool down too fast. As the temperature drops, the flavor of the coffee will change all the time. If you cool down too fast, you will miss out on many different tastes.

Second water temperature-

The temperature of the brewed water is very important. It is recommended that the temperature be between 85 and 90 degrees. If the brewed coffee is too bitter, try to lower the water temperature. On the contrary, 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.

Three-pack coffee-

First shake the earbag slightly to let the coffee powder fall to avoid the coffee powder being scattered when it is torn open, then pour out the hot water from the cup, tear open the seal on the earbag, extend the paper ears on both sides, and shake so that the coffee powder is smooth, and finally hang to the edge of the cup.

Four pre-wetting-

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

Fifth, water injection-

The second injection of water can be poured to the filter paper eight full, it is best to use a slender flow, wait until the flow down to the pre-wet height, you can continue to fill water to the full, until quenching out of 150 to 180cc so far, once quenching is finished, do not need to wait for all the water in the filter paper to flow out, just throw it away.

Six, enjoy your coffee! Remember that with the difference of temperature, you can taste different flavors.
