What Brewing Methods for Drip Coffee Bags Are Wrong?

1. Brewing a Full Mug of Coffee at Once

On the back of the packaging, we have a thoughtful reminder suggesting a water amount of 160-200cc, because exceeding this amount will not only make the coffee weak but also extract undesirable bitter flavors. Therefore, if you prefer a milder taste, you should stop brewing at 160-200cc and then add additional hot water to reach your desired strength.

2. Letting the Coffee Bag Continue Soaking in the Cup After Brewing

While this soaking method can indeed make the coffee stronger, it also extracts undesirable components like caffeine and bitterness.

3. Brewing Coffee Bags Like Tea Bags

When hot water is poured into a ceramic cup and then the coffee bag is dropped into the water, the water temperature has already dropped significantly, which is insufficient to extract the delicious flavors from the coffee. Our thoughtful suggestion on the back of the packaging recommends a water temperature of 90°C, meaning that 90°C hot water should continuously pass through the coffee grounds to brew delicious coffee.

4. Thinking It's a Waste Not to Brew Such a Large Coffee Bag 3-4 Times

This is the main reason why your stomach might feel uncomfortable. Coffee bags should only be brewed once, as the coffee brewed at this time is full of wonderful flavors. If brewed more than twice, bitter caffeine alkaloids will continue to be released.

Although drip coffee bags were created for convenience, some principles must be observed to avoid harming your health and ruining the pleasant experience.

Shelf Life and Freshness

Most people think that drip coffee remains just as delicious after a long time, and that unopened packages won't affect the taste.

Here, I must honestly tell everyone: "The optimal tasting period for drip coffee is also one month."

The production of drip coffee bags involves grinding coffee beans into coffee powder, which greatly increases the surface area of coffee exposed to air, making preservation difficult. Even when sealed, it cannot prevent the dissipation of coffee aroma. After coffee beans are roasted, they continue to react and release carbon dioxide, which is why our drip coffee bags appear slightly puffy. This indicates that the coffee was packaged when fresh. When the carbon dioxide in the coffee is completely released (about two weeks), it begins to release its aroma. While there may be no visible changes on the surface, the coffee is gradually deteriorating. If left at room temperature for more than a month, much of the coffee's aroma will have dissipated. However, because drip coffee bags are sealed packaging, you can still smell the aroma when opening them, but it won't be as fragrant after brewing.

Therefore, we recommend that whether you're buying coffee beans or drip coffee, please first evaluate your consumption timeline before considering the purchase quantity. Drinking while maintaining freshness allows you to taste the original complete, multi-layered flavor and aroma!
