Understanding Drip Coffee Bag Brewing

You should know that convenient drip coffee bags and hang ear coffee bags aren't as simple as tearing open the packaging and directly pouring in hot water to brew rich, aromatic good coffee - they still require some technique!

1. How much water is needed for one drip coffee bag or hang ear coffee bag?

Commercially available drip coffee bags and hang ear coffee bags typically contain approximately 10-12g of coffee grounds. If you prefer a stronger brew, use about 120g of water. The general recommended brewing water amount is 150-180g, which can of course be adjusted according to personal taste. (FrontStreet Coffee's hang ear coffee bags all weigh 10g, primarily medium to medium-dark roast, with a recommended water amount of 150g.)

2. Do brewing temperature and speed affect coffee flavor?

For office workers without a pour-over kettle, it's recommended to press the water dispenser with lighter force to allow the water to flow down more slowly and gently. Pour approximately 30-50g of hot water first, then wait quietly for 20-30 seconds of steeping before continuing to pour water into the cup until the total water volume reaches 150-200g.

If you have a pour-over kettle and thermometer, that's even better. The recommended brewing water temperature is 86-90°C for optimal results. The pour-over kettle's narrow spout design allows for more uniform water volume and flow rate, ensuring the most complete extraction during the brewing process. Of course, if you don't have a pour-over kettle and thermometer, that's fine too - let boiled hot water sit for a while, perhaps about the time it takes to read a WeChat official account article, and it should be about right.

Drip coffee and hang ear coffee are different from tea leaves - never attempt to re-brew them. Because after extraction, the coffee grounds only retain bitterness and astringency, and the flow rate will also become very slow. At this point, the coffee will be very unpleasant to drink.

FrontStreet Coffee's Recommended Hang Ear Brewing Data:

Water temperature at 90°C, using a shallow coffee cup. Brewing while steeping can increase richness and body. With a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio, 10g of coffee grounds with 150g of water is perfect.
