I. Can the hanging ear coffee be brewed directly in it?
The hanging ear coffee is a filter bag with a hanging ear paper card, which is wrapped with coffee powder. The coffee powder here is ground coffee beans, not instant coffee. It has slag and is not completely soluble in water. So it’s not a wise choice to open the hanging ear bag and pour it into hot water, because it will lose the function of the hanging ear and you will be full of coffee grounds. So the correct way should be to tear the upper opening along the “Open” line, and then open the small card of the hanging ear and stick it on the mouth of the cup.
Second, the number of times the coffee can be brewed with ear hooks
Different quality of coffee with ear hooks can be brewed for different times. Generally speaking, ordinary hanging ear coffee is recommended to be brewed once, but not twice, because after the ordinary hanging ear coffee is extracted with hot water, its nutrients and aroma will basically be released, even after brewing. There may still be some residual nutrients, but more impurities and miscellaneous flavors will also be poured into the coffee liquid, resulting in a cup of inferior coffee-colored liquid, and the drinking taste is not good. For better quality hanging ear coffee, you can try to brew it twice.
3. How to brew coffee with ear hooks
1. Warm cup
Ready to brew For the cup of hanging ear coffee, first pour some hot water into a warm cup. The function is to keep the brewed coffee from cooling down too fast, because coffee will produce different flavors as the temperature drops, that is, the layering of flavors, so if the temperature is too fast, you will miss many different tastes.
2. Water temperature
The temperature of the brewed water is very important. The recommended temperature is between 85 and 90 degrees. Bitter, you can try lowering the water temperature. Conversely, if it is too bland or too astringent, you can raise the water temperature, but the range should still be between 85 and 90 degrees.
3. Hang on the back edge
Shake the ear bag slightly first to let the coffee powder fall, to avoid the coffee powder being scattered when tearing, and then pour it out The hot water in the cup, after tearing off the seal on the hanging ear bag, spread the paper hanging ears on both sides, shake it to make the coffee powder flat, and finally hang it on the edge of the cup.
4. Pre-moistened ear coffee pods
The first time you fill in water, you should fill in the amount of coffee powder that is just soaked, too much or too little. Affect the flavor, then wait 20 seconds for the ground coffee to fully absorb the water. The strength of the coffee can be adjusted with the pre-wet time, and it can be extended to 40 seconds to get a stronger coffee.
5. Water injection
The second water injection can be poured to the full eighth of the filter paper. After the pre-wetting height, you can continue to fill with water until 150 to 180cc is quenched. Once the quenching is completed, you don’t need to wait for all the water in the filter paper to flow out, just throw it away. Then add sugar and milk to your taste and stir gently.
