Many small partners like to compare ear coffee with hand-brewed coffee, while Front Street Coffee believes that ear coffee and hand-brewed coffee are not in conflict, not a competitive relationship, but an expansion relationship. Ears coffee is an extension of hand brewed coffee. Let us first understand that both hand-brewed coffee and ear-hanging coffee are forms of brewed coffee. Hand-brewed coffee started after World War II, while ear-hanging coffee was born in Japan in 1990 and patented and marketed by UCC in Japan in 2001. This brewing form is horizontally compared to hand-brewed coffee, which can be said to have no advantage in flavor and taste, but it is not useless. It solves a problem of making coffee by hand, which is cumbersome. Like the process of hand brewing coffee, you have to start preparing coffee equipment such as grinders, filter cups, coffee containers, hand brewers, filter papers, etc., which are numerous and expensive, and most importantly, coffee beans. It needs to be brewed by grinding coffee into powder and then pouring water. If you cook a cup at home, including preparation time, a set of time down, spending 10 minutes is a normal range. Ears optimize this problem very well. All you need is an ear coffee bag, a cup container, a water bottle, and a cup of black coffee in 2 minutes.

Hang-ear coffee makes up for the cumbersome gap of hand-brewed coffee and advocates convenience. If you are pressed for time and want a cup of hand-brewed coffee, you want to drink hand-brewed coffee at work but do brew equipment, you want to drink hand-brewed coffee outside, these hand-brewed coffee can not provide you, and ear coffee is a good way to fill this gap. Back to flavor and taste, although we always say that ear coffee is inferior to hand brewed coffee, but how much difference, no one answered. Front Street believes that there are two differences in their flavor, one is the storage mode, hand-brewed coffee will generally use coffee beans freshly ground, while ear-hanging coffee is to take the form of pre-ground, it is in this factor, creating the same coffee will exist flavor lack.

Second, rigor, brewing coffee, you will pay attention to the technique, filter cup, injection kettle, any parameter will affect the flavor trend of a cup of coffee. These things don't exist with ear-hanging coffee, and this limitation leads to a good representation of the basic flavor of the cup of coffee. If you do not pursue the best flavor, only in the requirement of "flavor pass line", the threshold for hanging ear coffee is lower than that of hand brewed coffee. You can easily brew the flavor you want with ear-hanging coffee, but don't be too demanding. Although ear coffee is not as exquisite as hand brewed coffee, basic brewing methods are still needed. Front Street Coffee shares a brewing method for ear-hanging coffee. 1. The amount of ear powder in front street is 10g, the ratio of powder to water is 1:15, and about 150ml of hot water is injected. If you like rich, you can add less water. If you like light, you can add more water. The ratio can be adjusted according to personal taste.

2. Remove the outer packaging of the ear-hanging coffee bag, which is a white coffee filter bag. Most brands of ear-hanging bag seals are lightly marked with "OPEN", and the ear-hanging bag of Front Street Coffee is also marked with the word "OPEN". Some friends thought that hanging ears were hanging tea bags, so they didn't expect to tear open the mouth. However, without tearing open the opening, there will be less water brewing process, it is inevitable that there will be insufficient coffee flavor extraction phenomenon, front street coffee suggestion, hanging ear bag in the brewing before the first step is to tear the mouth!

3, open the two "small ears" of the filter bag, hang on the cup, use the temperature of water control between 88-90 ° C, the first stage injected a small amount of water to wet the coffee powder, about 20g water. Wait for 20 seconds, then pour water slowly until you get 150ml of coffee solution. If the water overflows during the injection, stop the injection slightly and continue to pour water after the water level drops.

Brewing ear-hanging coffee way, front street also encountered a lot of guests will ask whether to segment, in fact, small water flow around the circle directly injected water to 150ml, ear-hanging coffee is simple and convenient, there are not too many requirements. There are also many guests who often go to the front street coffee shop to ask, can the ear coffee be recycled? In fact, a small bag of ear-hanging coffee generally 10 grams of powder, 10 grams of powder generally can only be brewed once, when you cycle brewing, you may find that the taste of coffee is still very strong, should still be able to drink. In fact, this is not the case, because when you brew ear-hanging coffee for a long time, because the longer the coffee is brewed, the more caffeine is released, this is because the coffee has been over-extracted, and over-extraction will make the bitterness and astringency in the coffee released. Even if this coffee is in the best taste period of coffee, but multiple brews will make the best flavor of coffee dilute, so Qianjie generally does not recommend guests to brew the same ear coffee cycle.

Of course, ear coffee and hand brewed coffee, drink is the flavor of coffee beans, good coffee beans even if pre-ground into ear is still flavor. In the face of many flavors of ear-hanging coffee, many small partners "choice difficulties" committed. Therefore, Qianjie recommends ear bags for the season.

The seasonal ear-hanging bag is randomly selected from the seven major producing areas on the front street to make ear-hanging coffee bags. The seven producing areas are Esseye Sherfie (citrus fruit tone), Indonesia Mantenin (herbal fragrant nuts), Brazil Hilado (nut clean), Colombia Cymbidium (peanut butter), Costa Rica Tara beads (nut toffee), Yunnan small grains (fruity tea feeling) Guatemala Vivienne (citrus, smoked). Choosing the season to hang ears is like drawing blind boxes, there may be unexpected surprises ~ there is always one that meets your taste!!!
