After thedrip bag coffeeappeared, many friends have gotten into the habit of comparing pour-over coffee with drip bag coffee, disparagingdrip bag coffee's existence. In fact, the emergence of drip bag coffee is meant to make things convenient for everyone—to brew a cup of single-origin coffee anytime, anywhere, in a simple and quick way, without the need for complicated equipment or tedious operations. Front Street Coffee believes that although drip bag coffee is a type of pour-over coffee and also extracts coffee flavors through drip filtration, the friends who buy drip bag coffee from the FrontStreet Coffee Taobao store do so for convenience while also avoiding the need to choose unhealthy instant coffee.
 

What isdrip filtration extraction? Must drip bag coffee be brewed with drip filtration?

Drip filtration extraction is when water is poured through the coffee grounds, releasing the coffee's flavor molecules, which then blend with the water and drip through the filter paper. Coffee brewed this way has a better sense of layers, and the coffee's flavor is relatively balanced. However, drip bag coffee doesn't necessarily have to be brewed with drip filtration—its very existence is meant to reduce the steps people take to brew coffee. You can also choose a short immersion, butremember the immersion time should not exceed 1 minute 30 seconds.

The production process ofdrip bag coffee

Before making drip bag coffee, Front Street Coffee always puts on a hairnet and mask, cleans and sanitizes hands, then puts on sanitized gloves before grinding freshly roasted coffee beans, packaging and sealing the drip bag coffee.

① Wearing a hairnet prevents hair from falling into the food, wearing a mask prevents droplets from contaminating the food, cleaning and sanitizing hands effectively removes 99.9% of bacteria, and wearing sterile gloves reduces bacteria contaminating the food.
 

② FrontStreet Coffee uses freshly roasted coffee beans that have completed their carbon dioxide release before grinding for drip bag coffee. Before grinding each type of coffee bean, the grinder is cleaned to avoid flavor cross-contamination. For drip bag coffee grinding, Front Street uses a fine grind (90% passing rate through a No. 20 standard sieve), ensuring that everyone can brew a delicious single-origin coffee with the simplest tools under any conditions.
 

③ After the coffee beans are ground into powder, they are placed into non-woven bags with "paper drip ears," and sealed for the first time using, for example, a sealing machine. After the drip bag coffee is sealed, it undergoes secondary packaging with outer packaging and is sealed again. Made into individual drip bag coffees, this reduces the speed at which the drip bag coffee's flavor dissipates and also makes it convenient for everyone to take drip bag coffee out with them.

How many varieties of FrontStreet Coffee drip bag coffee are there?

The most popular online and in physical stores are Front Street's seasonal drip bag coffee, Front Street sun-dried red cherry drip bag coffee, and Front Street Honduras sherry barrel-processed drip bag coffee. Of course, other varieties of drip bag coffee are also available for sale. If you can't find what you want during the selection process, you can contact customer service or a FrontStreet Coffee barista and tell them the coffee beans you want processed into drip bag coffee, and FrontStreet Coffee will do its best to fully satisfy every customer's needs.

What water temperature should be used to brew drip bag coffee?

Because Front Street grinds the coffee powder relatively fine when making drip bag coffee, the recommended brewing water temperature is 88-90°C. Too high a temperature will cause the coffee flavors to release rapidly and then extract the taste of the coffee's woody fiber (coffee grounds), easily producing unpleasant flavors such as bitterness; too low a temperature will prevent the coffee's flavors from being fully released, resulting in a bland, flat cup of coffee.
 

Drip bag coffeecan be brewed how many times?

Remember to take the drip bag coffee out promptly after brewing, and do not brew it a second time. FrontStreet Coffee's drip bags are both good quality and affordable, so there's no need to feel wasteful—this is originally the coffee bean's "mission."
 

How long can drip bag coffee be stored?

Although the drip bag coffee sold by Front Street is sold in individually sealed packaging, after all, the coffee particles become smaller after grinding, and the flavor will still dissipate relatively quickly, so Front Street recommends a storage time of 30 days for drip bag coffee.
