The reason why the hanging-ear coffee is too light to taste what's the difference between the hanging-ear coffee and the hand-made coffee?

There are many similarities between the two brewing methods of hanging-ear coffee and hand-made coffee. But for the same kind of coffee beans, hand-brewed coffee tastes better than hanging-ear coffee.

There are two main reasons why the coffee brewed from hanging-ear coffee is not as good as hand-brewed coffee. First, hanging-ear coffee is a pre-ground coffee powder, and its flavor volatilizes more before brewing, so it is naturally difficult to compare the flavor with hand-brewed coffee; second, hanging-ear coffee filter bag only has the function of filtering. compared with the combination of filter cup and filter paper of hand-brewed coffee, the effect of even extraction is inferior.

Therefore, it is a bit difficult to ask for hanging-ear coffee according to the taste standard of hand-brewed coffee. But pull the standard back to the hanging-ear coffee, what kind of way can make the relatively good hanging-ear coffee is worth exploring! Qianjie learned from the brewing feedback of some guests that it is usually too light because it does not have a good grasp of the ratio of powder to water, and when the amount of water injected is more, the coffee will naturally become very light. Brewing hanging-ear coffee is not like hand-made coffee to be equipped with an electronic scale, but pay attention to a convenient, how convenient how to come. So maybe some friends will find a mug at random, hang up the earbag and fill it directly. The capacity of an ordinary mug is about 250-350ml, and the coffee powder content in a bag of ear bags is 10g. With 1:15-1:18 as a reasonable powder-to-water ratio, the coffee liquid is about 130-160ml, which is equivalent to half the position of the mug. The brewed coffee has little flavor, probably because the cup used is too short and the water has soaked the coffee powder for too long. Make hanging ear coffee, the cup is also fastidious, generally use a tall mug or glass, so that the coffee liquid can be filtered out directly. If the cup used is too small, then the filtered coffee liquid is returned to soak the coffee powder, and the taste of the whole cup of coffee tends to be heavy and bitter, and the flavor is naturally not prominent.

Hanging-ear coffee wants to flush out a better taste, in brewing, just pay attention to the water temperature, proportion and prevent the coffee liquid from soaking into the filter bag. Qianjie recommended that the water temperature is about 90 degrees, if you do not have a thermometer or thermostat, you can boil the water, then turn off the fire and open the lid for 60-90 seconds, the water temperature will drop to 88-95 degrees.

The next step is to confirm the amount of water injection, if you are not sure how much water injection is, you can inject water in this way. The first paragraph is injected to the position of 1ap2 in the ear bag and steamed for 20 seconds; the second paragraph directly fills the ear bag with water; after waiting for the coffee liquid to be filtered, the third paragraph continues to fill the ear bag and wait for the coffee solution to be filtered again, the fourth paragraph is also to fill the ear bag with water, and after the drip filtration is finished, the ear bag can be removed. If the water is injected in this way, the total amount of water injection is about 150-160ml.
