Invent

1990

For young office workers with a fast pace of life, Yamanaka Industrial Co., Ltd. of Japan applies the concept of tea bag to coffee. Filter-hanging coffee was invented, but the initial ear-hanging design was only unilateral on the upper edge of the filter bag, the supporting force was uneven, and the opening could not be fully opened, and the consumer experience was not good, so there was no successful commercialization.

Improvement

In 1996, the same Japanese company, Daji, improved the original invention and moved the ear to the lower edge of the filter bag.

In 1999, Daji developed bilateral ears and applied for patents, so that today's filter-hanging coffee has become the mainstream of the market.

East Asian market

Why can filter coffee grow rapidly in East Asia? The reason is that it combines the advantages of instant and hand-brewed coffee. In 2011, global sales of filter coffee reached 1.4 billion packets, 94% of which came from Japan, where Starbucks also launched filter coffee.
