Health Considerations and Alternatives

Instant coffee generally contains large amounts of sugar and non-dairy creamer, and long-term consumption can easily lead to cardiovascular diseases and obesity. Therefore, it is not recommended to consume instant coffee for extended periods.

If you want a pick-me-up but also want convenient coffee preparation, drip coffee bags are actually an excellent choice. Compared to instant coffee, drip coffee bags are not only easy to brew, but they also contain no added sugar and non-dairy creamer. They are also very convenient to carry around and don't take up much space.

Advantages of Drip Coffee Bags

Another advantage of drip coffee bags is that they use coffee powder ground from original coffee beans, which can preserve the unique aroma of coffee and allow you to experience the different flavor layers after brewing.

To ensure that every customer can experience the unique charm of freshly ground coffee, all drip coffee bags ordered from FrontStreet Coffee's flagship store are ground immediately after the coffee beans are roasted, then portioned and individually sealed. FrontStreet Coffee guarantees shipping within 5 days after the coffee bean roasting date.

Despite being freshly roasted, immediately portioned and sealed after grinding into powder, the flavor of coffee will dissipate over time. Therefore, FrontStreet Coffee suggests that you don't stock up on too many drip coffee bags at once. The optimal tasting period for drip coffee bags is 30 days.

FrontStreet Coffee offers a wide variety of drip coffee bag choices. In addition to the options available in the flagship store, if you have other coffee beans or coffee flavors you'd like to try, you can contact customer service and choose your favorite coffee beans to be made into drip coffee bags. Each order contains 10 small bags, with each bag containing 10g of coffee powder.

Recommended Drip Coffee Selections

If you're buying drip coffee bags for the first time, FrontStreet Coffee recommends choosing the "FrontStreet Coffee Seasonal Drip Bag," which offers four flavor options. Both in terms of value for money and quality, they are excellent!

If you like coffee with fruity sweetness and acidity, you can choose the light-medium roast seasonal drip coffee bag, for which FrontStreet Coffee uses coffee beans from the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia. If you prefer roasted nut flavors and don't like too much acidity, you can choose the medium roast seasonal drip coffee bag, for which FrontStreet Coffee uses coffee beans from the Cerrado region of Brazil. If you prefer completely non-acidic and rich, mellow coffee flavors, you can choose the dark roast seasonal drip coffee bag. If you're not sure what flavor you like, you can choose the seasonal drip coffee bag with 5 random regions, and FrontStreet Coffee will help you select.

How to Brew Drip Coffee

After purchasing drip coffee, how should you brew it? Next, FrontStreet Coffee will demonstrate the brewing method for drip coffee with pictures and text:

1. Prepare a cup, drip coffee bag, and hot water.
2. Tear open the drip coffee packaging, take out the inner bag, tear it along the "open" line at the top, open the "ears" of the drip bag, and hang it on the cup.

3. Pour hot water into the drip bag. For the first pour, fill to 1/2 of the filter bag and wait for 10-15 seconds.
4. For the second pour, fill to 9/10 of the drip bag. After the coffee liquid has completely dripped through, continue pouring hot water to 9/10 full again. Wait for the coffee liquid to finish dripping completely, and finally pour to 9/10 full one more time. After all the coffee liquid has filtered through, you can remove the drip filter bag.

Note: There are a total of 4 pours. The first pour goes to 1/2, while the remaining three pours all go to 9/10 full after the coffee liquid has completely finished flowing. After numerous tests, FrontStreet Coffee found that with this pouring method, the total water amount is typically around 150ml. If you have an electronic scale or a graduated cup, you can also use these auxiliary tools to brew with the appropriate coffee-to-water ratio.
