How about hanging-ear coffee compared to instant coffee?

Guide to Caxiang: "hanging earbags"-who is a stranger to this magical and convenient coffee bag? When we travel, when we go to work, when we relax, this simple and convenient "earbag" is a favorite of coffee people.

First of all, let's talk about instant coffee. Instant coffee is extracted from roasted coffee beans after grinding at a certain temperature and pressure, and then dried and produced. It is concentrated in vacuum to facilitate the drying process. Drying, which is the forming process of instant coffee powder, is also the process that has the greatest impact on the quality of coffee powder. At present, spray drying is generally used, but because the aromatic substance of coffee is very sensitive to heat, it is very volatile at high drying temperature (there is a certain volatilization in the process of extraction and concentration). This is the main reason why instant coffee is not fried and ground coffee has a strong aroma.

I once read in a foreign article that, in fact, the chemical composition of instant coffee is no longer coffee. Instant coffee is a synthetic product of industrialization, and it is a good substitute for coffee in some specific circumstances, such as long-distance travel on trains and airplanes, instead of coffee in the original sense. Because in the enjoyment of traditional coffee, from the grinding, cooking, filtering of coffee beans, as well as the selection of utensils and different blending techniques, are very particular. In the process of synthesis, the original nutrition and health ingredients of instant coffee are destroyed and disappear, although it also has the taste of coffee, but it has lost the rich nutrition and health care effect of coffee, as well as the thick cultural taste and atmosphere.

How about hanging-ear coffee? let's discuss and clarify it in two points.

one。 Convenience in use

It is estimated that there will be a lot of friends who do not understand that hand-flushing the pot is actually superfluous. Perhaps the instant solution gives everyone the feeling that it is OK to rinse the boiling hot water high onto the coffee powder, leading to the mistake of understanding.

So how much impact does a handmade pot have on a cup of coffee? Big or small. Like some induction cookers used now, the water outlet of the kettle itself is not blocked by a hole-shaped network, and the spout is slender and slender, which can control the flow of water. However, there are many hot water kettles that do not have the two conditions of fine stability of the effluent, so it is almost difficult to do so. So let's answer, what exactly is the function of a hand-made pot?

First, I think it is to control the flow and speed of the water. Hand brewing requires steaming for 20 seconds to open the flavor of a cup of coffee and let the coffee powder absorb water to form a hamburger. The next step is extraction, if your water rushes directly to the filter paper, then this part of the water will go directly to the bottom of the pot without participating in the extraction process, which is like dilution with water, which greatly affects the body of a cup of coffee. More importantly, extraction takes time, and to control the size of water flow is to control time. Therefore, if there is no controllable and stable flow, there can be no extraction, and without extraction, it would not be a cup of coffee.

The second point is the heat preservation of water. Generally speaking, hand-brewing 15g beans takes one and a half minutes to two minutes, and the water temperature is relatively high. If you determine the water temperature of 88 degrees, but the water temperature drops rapidly to 80 degrees in a minute, it will greatly change the production of a cup of coffee. This is like Yinli kettle, 30 or 40 yuan each, the appearance is also good, the spout is slender and controllable, but the water temperature is lost quite quickly. On the other hand, the materials of most brands in Japan are very good at temperature control, and the price gap is also obvious.

Well, now the ears are square. In other words, his extraction is not quite the same as hand flushing, or even more like dharma pressure. Is to make the coffee with pressure extraction rate by hand, so the importance of the hand pot is relatively increased. Take a hand to flush, a small hand to make a pot, which is much more convenient than a pile of things. The portable earbag is a patented design developed by the Japanese, in which the coffee powder is packed in a filter bag, and the splints made of cardboard on both sides can be hung on the cup and thrown away after rinsing, so that it is convenient to drink ground coffee like filter droplets. Hanging ear bag Coffee is a ready-to-enjoy freshly ground coffee. The coffee is brewed by drip filtration, and the sour, sweet, bitter, mellow and fragrant coffee is perfectly embodied. As long as there is a hot water source and a coffee cup around you, it is convenient to enjoy. Especially suitable for home, office and travel.

two。 Is it good?

If the product of hanging-ear coffee is extremely bad, it is not as sweet as instant coffee. So let's put aside his applicability for the time being.

Compared with instant coffee, it is made from fresh coffee beans ground into powder and directly brewed, which can maximize the aroma and flavor of coffee beans. The weight of each bag of hanging-ear coffee is about 10 grams, which happens to be 150 to 200 milliliters per cup. The design of the earbag gives the coffee powder as much "room to breathe and tumble" as possible, so that when it is brewed by hot water, it can stew out a deep aroma. Its design can be said to cover the functions of beans, bean grinders, electronic scales, filter cups and filter paper. When brewing, all you need is a hand to make the pot and a cup.

According to experts, hanging-ear coffee with floral and fruity aromas is the most popular, with soft acidity. When matching this kind of coffee, it is recommended to choose fruit-flavored desserts with the same outstanding aroma, such as durian halberd, coconut ice cream, mango thousand-layer cake and so on.

Of course, if you don't even bother to make hanging-ear coffee, you can go directly to the city's professional hand-brewed cafe, such as Qianjie Cafe, Nest Cafe, Bank Cafe, and so on, so that the waiter can "serve" you personally.

Hanging-ear coffee allows more people to find a balance between busy life and boutique coffee. This is very important, want to let more people understand and enjoy the individual coffee in a better way. Single item, it shows your attitude towards life. A person who loves coffee, especially one who is infatuated with items, must be everyone in life, with dreams and directions.
