The last time I tried hanging-ear coffee should have been more than three years ago, and I hadn't started playing hand-made coffee at that time. The correct way to say it was that my opponent had no idea of making boutique coffee. I still remember that I tried Yega Xuefei at that time (I remember that the price I bought at that time was about 12 yuan). At that time, I thought that hanging-ear coffee could just pour hot water into it. I didn't know that the water temperature and powder-water ratio was the key, so it was too easy to think about hanging-ear coffee, so I boiled it directly. the water directly from the water heater is added until the water flows out to become a cup of coffee and drink it. As a result, it tastes like sour stewed ribs with medicine. This memory has always followed me, and for a time I never had a good impression of Yega.

Over the past three years, I have not tried hanging-ear coffee again, but there are so many coffee shops selling hanging-ear coffee, I believe it must have its charm. Through this experience activity, we will seriously explore the brewing method of hanging-ear coffee.

The brewing method of hanging-ear coffee:

Brewing mode:

1. Tear open the top seal of the filter bag

two。 Pull this and hang it on the rim of the cup.

3. Soak: soak for 20-30 seconds, and then inject water in stages

4. Take out the filter bag and discard it

What is the temperature and amount of water? There are instructions on the back of the other filter bag.

The recommended water temperature is 88-92 degrees, and the recommended water intake is 180~220cc. The capacity of one packet is 10 grams, so it is equivalent to 1-16-15-20 water intake, which is much higher than the 1:13-15 I usually use.

After opening the package, the filter bag containing coffee powder looks very dense.

If you gently pull in the direction of the opening arrow, you can easily tear off the bag seal.

Then the paper on the left and right sides is stuck on the edge of the cup.

The cup you choose must be deep enough, or you will make coffee instead of coffee.

The fineness of coffee powder is so fine that it feels like Pegasus scale 1 or so, which is similar to the fineness of black sugar.

First, in a regular way, fill the kettle with 92 degrees hot water. The way of brewing is actually very similar to hand brewing.

First make the pre-moistening, probably all the powder is slightly soaked in water.

Hold for 30 seconds.

Then fill the water in stages, put it almost on top, and then inject water after the flow is over. About 3-4 times of water injection will be completed.

Because the powder is fine, the hole of the mesh bag is thin, so the flow rate will be slower, especially the second and third water injection, the outlet speed of the tail section becomes very slow. Generally speaking, hand flushing will be completed within 2.5-3 minutes, but it will take about 4 minutes to use the ear-hanging coffee in front of the street in the season.

Fine powder and fine mesh can achieve higher extraction, so it may be possible to make a higher ratio of water to powder.

If you have the right time and enough water, you can actually make two cups at a time.

After flushing, clamp up the paper on both sides of the hanging ear, and you can take it off without getting wet your fingers, which is very convenient.

Perhaps because the coffee powder has a fine scale, it can be clearly felt that the coffee made from hanging-ear coffee bags in the front street is a little thicker, but it will never be as exaggerated as a French kettle.

Later, I will introduce an incorrect but convenient practice.

It's still not good for the office to swing around with a hand pot.

In fact, as long as there is a water heater, as long as pay attention to a few key points, the flavor will not be too bad.

1. First confirm that it has the function of boiling, not warm water.

two。 The first step is to flow out the lukewarm water in the outlet pipe before pre-moistening.

3. All processes must be the same as the normal steps: pre-moistening for 20-30 seconds and water injection in stages.

It's like a barreled water fountain used in the office.

Or the drinking fountain with heating function will be installed at home.

In fact, the reason for daring to make such a test is that the temperature of the water from the drinking fountain has been measured before, at most 90 degrees. It is speculated that the reason is that after the water stored in the hot water tank is stored internally and then through the heat pipe to the outlet, in fact, the water temperature will not be 100 degrees, but no more than 90 degrees.

Therefore, this kind of water temperature is very effective for brewing hanging-ear coffee.

The first time to seriously experience hanging-ear coffee, the brewing method is very simple, regardless of the flow rate, do not use a hot kettle, skills and instruments are much less than hand brewing.

If you are interested in boutique coffee beans, are not sure of your favorite flavor, and do not want to invest too much in the first place to buy too much equipment, hanging coffee bags are a good starting point.

In particular, the taste of Qianjie seasonal coffee is quite close to that of hand-brewed boutique coffee, and the coffee beans used are all manor grade, not only bitter and sweet, but all kinds of medium-and light-roasted coffee with a touch of pectic acid and pectin. It is recommended to friends who want to further explore the world of coffee.

As a coffee controller, I will consider bringing hanging-ear coffee on my next trip. I don't have to bring a filter cup, filter paper, coffee powder and ladle, which can greatly save suitcase space.
