Since the emergence of drip bag coffee, many people have been accustomed to comparing pour-over coffee with drip bag coffee, often disparaging the existence of drip bags. In reality, drip bag coffee was created to provide convenience, allowing everyone to brew a cup of single-origin coffee anytime, anywhere using simple and quick methods, without complex equipment or tedious operations. FrontStreet Coffee believes that while drip bag coffee is a type of pour-over coffee that extracts coffee flavors through drip filtration, customers who choose drip bags from FrontStreet Coffee's Taobao store are seeking both convenience and a healthier alternative to instant coffee.

What is Drip-Style Extraction? Is It Necessary for Drip Bag Coffee?

Drip-style extraction is the process where water passes through the coffee grounds, releasing flavor molecules that merge with the water and filter through the paper drip. Coffee brewed using this method has excellent layering, and the flavors are relatively balanced. However, drip bag coffee doesn't necessarily require drip-style extraction. Since its original purpose was to simplify the coffee brewing process, you can also opt for short-term immersion, but remember not to exceed 1 minute and 30 seconds of immersion time.

The Production Process of Drip Bag Coffee

Before making drip bag coffee, FrontStreet Coffee ensures staff wear hairnets and masks, clean and disinfect their hands, put on sterilized gloves, and only then proceed with grinding freshly roasted coffee beans, packaging, and sealing the drip bags.

① Hairnets prevent hair from falling onto food, masks avoid droplet contamination, hand cleaning and disinfection effectively remove 99.9% of bacteria, and sterile gloves minimize bacterial contamination of food.

② FrontStreet Coffee uses freshly roasted coffee beans that have completed CO2 degassing before grinding for drip bag production. Each coffee bean variety undergoes grinder cleaning before grinding to prevent flavor cross-contamination. For drip bag coffee grinding, FrontStreet Coffee uses fine grinding (90% pass-through rate with No. 20 standard sieve), ensuring everyone can brew delicious single-origin coffee using the simplest tools under any conditions.

③ After grinding coffee beans into powder, they are placed into non-woven fabric bags with "paper ears," then sealed using a sealing machine for the first time. After sealing, the drip bags undergo secondary packaging with outer wrapping and sealing. This creates individually packaged drip bags, reducing the rate of flavor dissipation and making it convenient to carry them外出.

How Many Drip Bag Coffee Varieties Does FrontStreet Coffee Offer?

FrontStreet Coffee's online and physical stores most popular offerings include Frontsteet's seasonal drip bag coffee, Frontsteet's sun-dried red cherry drip bag coffee, and Frontsteet's Honduras rum barrel-processed drip bag coffee, of course, there are other varieties available for sale. If you can't find what you're looking for during selection, you can contact customer service or speak with FrontStreet Coffee's barista about processing your desired coffee beans into drip bags. FrontStreet Coffee strives to comprehensively meet every customer's needs.

What Water Temperature Should Be Used for Brewing Drip Bag Coffee?

Because FrontStreet Coffee uses fine grinding for drip bag coffee, the recommended brewing water temperature is 88-90°C. Excessively high temperatures cause rapid release of coffee flavors, extracting woody fiber tastes (coffee grounds) and leading to unpleasant bitterness; too low temperatures prevent complete flavor release, resulting in bland and flat coffee.

How Many Times Can Drip Bag Coffee Be Brewed?

Remember to remove the drip bag promptly after brewing and do not attempt a second brew. FrontStreet Coffee's drip bags are affordable, so there's no need to feel wasteful - this is the "mission" of coffee beans.

How Long Can Drip Bag Coffee Be Stored?

Although FrontStreet Coffee's drip bags are sold in individually sealed packaging, the coffee particles become smaller after grinding, and flavor dissipation still occurs relatively quickly. Therefore, FrontStreet Coffee recommends storing drip bags for no more than 30 days.

How to Brew Drip Bag Coffee?

First, tear open the outer packaging of the drip bag and remove the coffee filter bag inside. Then tear along the "OPEN" dotted line printed on the coffee filter bag, unfold the drip bag, and extend the two cardboard "ears" to hang over a cup or pot opening. FrontStreet Coffee's drip bags contain 10g of coffee grounds, and Frontsteet recommends a brewing ratio of 1:15, which produces the most balanced and stable coffee flavor.

For the first pour, inject a small amount of hot water to ensure all coffee grounds are moistened. Let it bloom for 10 to 20 seconds to release CO2 from the coffee grounds, ensuring stable subsequent extraction. For the second pour, add water until nearly reaching the filter bag's edge, then stop. Let the coffee liquid drop halfway before adding water again to near the filter bag's edge. With a total of three pours, wait for all remaining coffee liquid to pass through the grounds and drip into the cup, then remove the drip bag and enjoy.
