Generally speaking, hand coffee will need to use bean grinder, hand pot, filter cup, filter paper, coffee pot and so on. For those who like to drink and study coffee, these utensils are necessary and it is easy to tell which product belongs to what type of equipment, but it is a great knowledge for a novice who wants to get in touch with it. The flow rate of the hand pot can stumble a novice. Filter coffee, on the other hand, solves part of the problem.

In fact, filter-hanging coffee is also a kind of hand-brewed coffee, which means Drip Bag Coffee coffee bag. Filter-hanging coffee brewing method is similar to hand-brewing coffee, and the filter bag of filter-hanging coffee is filter paper, while sellers usually fill the coffee bean grinder first and then seal the film, eliminating the need for a bean grinder, and you don't have to use a hand pot in the brewing process. However, if you want to ask how the taste of the coffee brewed in this way compares with that of the traditional hand-brewed coffee, the answer is probably that the traditional hand-brewed coffee will be more delicious. After all, the brewing adjustment can be adjusted according to the characteristics of each kind of bean. and filter coffee to simplify these adjustments, can still make a good grade of coffee. It is even recommended to test / try the taste and quality of coffee beans in a coffee shop from filter coffee.

How did filter coffee come into being?

In 1990, Japan Yamanaka Industrial Co., Ltd. applied the concept of tea bag to coffee for the first time, invented filter-hanging coffee and applied for a patent, but it was not mass-produced because it would lose balance in the process of brewing coffee. It was not until Daji Commercial Company improved its original invention eight years later that today's hanging-ear coffee came into being.

The principle of using filter-hanging coffee:

Filter-hanging coffee is ground from coffee beans and filled into coffee filter paper, and the ears on both sides of the filter paper are designed to easily hang on the edge of the mark cup. As long as the cup and hot water are prepared, even if you are not a coffee expert, you can easily use it.

However, the average coffee bean's best flavor period is only one month. After the coffee beans are ground into powder, the flavor dissipates quickly, so how long is the storage period of the filter-hanging coffee? The answer is three weeks! It doesn't mean you can't drink it for a long time, but what you drink may have no flavor, leaving only those bad wood smells.

Moreover, after baking, coffee beans continue to interact with the air and release carbon dioxide, so most of the earbags show a "bulging appearance" after being stored for a period of time, which means that earbags are produced when coffee beans are fresh.

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!

Now let's talk about the steps of filter-hanging coffee brewing:

1. Take the ear bag out of the bag, hold the upper edge of the ear bag, and gently shake the coffee powder to the bottom.

two。 Tear it off along the dotted line, pull open the ears on both sides and hang it on the edge of the coffee cup.

3. First inject hot water into 30ml and let it steam for 30 seconds to release the aroma of coffee.

4. Continue to inject hot water 120-150ml and wait 1 minute and 30 seconds.

5. The coffee liquid filtered by the filter paper flows into the coffee cup to complete brewing.

Details that should be paid attention to when brewing:

▲ brews coffee with a hot water temperature of about 90 degrees.

A bag of ▲ earbags can brew 150ml-180ml coffee, which is about half a cup of mugs.

When injecting ▲ into hot water, use a small amount of water for many times to prevent the water from overflowing and cause the coffee powder to fall into the cup.

▲ is not that the longer the soak, the stronger the flavor, but too long soaking will easily extract too much uncomfortable flavor, and will flush out the impurities in the coffee beans. It is recommended that when the amount of water arrives, stop injecting water and let the coffee powder soak for about 30 seconds!

Of course, filter coffee is the same as hand-brewed coffee, only once is recommended. It's unlikely if you want to recycle, because basically everything that can be flushed out and what you need has already been extracted. Therefore, do not flush back the earbags that have been brewed, otherwise you will only drink bad coffee because of excessive extraction.

Qianjie filter-hanging coffee brewing suggestion:

Choose a shallow coffee cup to soak the coffee in the cup and brew it with 90 ℃ of water. The ratio of powder to water is 1:15 and the time is about 1 minute and 30 seconds.
