Drip coffee bag and coffee filter paper are both coming to our life to satisfy our life, including the metal filter. So as coffee lover, which coffee brewing method comes to your mind?
Who invented coffee filter paper: Miss Melitta Bentz invented coffee filter paper. Thanks to her so that we can enjoy your coffee with a better life!
German housewife Melitta Bentz liked freshly brewed coffee, but she was a perfectionist who hated the coffee grounds left between her teeth. One day she had a whim, made a hole in the bottom of the copper bowl, took out a piece of blotting paper from her son’s schoolbag and placed it on it, flushed in hot water, and suddenly the mellow coffee dripped through the blotting paper in the pot. In this way, she invented a follicle method that can filter the residue and retain the mellow coffee aroma. That is how the coffee filter paper was invented and then small filter paper opened the concept of coffee filtration, and has led the trend of specialty coffee for centuries today. Feel so gratitude!
So how the drip coffee bag is invented: Japan's Yamanaka Sangyo Co., Ltd. applied the concept of tea bags to coffee in 1990, invented hanging ear drip coffee bag and applied for a patent. However, the hanging ear bag designed by Yamanaka Industry cannot bear the weight of brewed coffee, and it is easy to lose balance during the brewing process, so it has not been successfully commercialized. It wasn't until 1998 that Daji Corporation improved the original invention and extended the hanging ears, so that you find today hanging ear drip coffee bag is available and popular.
The pour over coffee is popular in Japan, but it is not that easy to grab one cup of tasty coffee for young Office worker with a fast-paced life do not have time to wait for a cup of hand-made coffee. So hanging ear drip coffee bag comes out to satisfy the need.
Which is better to use metal filter or filter paper or drip coffee bag: If you consider the unit price alone, the metal filter is much more expensive than the filter paper. But the filter paper is disposable and needs to be purchased repeatedly. If you drink a lot of coffee, the cost of the filter paper will continue to add up. Therefore, from a long-term perspective, the metal filter is more economical and practical. Which has greater impact on the environment? Each of us is very concerned about the impact of coffee on the natural environment. From this perspective alone, the metal filter wins out with an absolute advantage. After all, the filter paper and drip coffee bag are disposable and has to be discarded every time it is used up, which will more or less cause adverse effects on the environment. Which is easier to clean? Considering the ease of cleaning, filter paper and drip coffee bag definitely has an advantage, because after use, you don’t need to clean up the leftover filter paper, just throw it away. If it is a metal filter, you must clean it every time you use it, otherwise the remaining coffee grounds and oil will directly affect the quality of the coffee. Which is better for health? We all know that coffee is good for health, but coffee does contain some undesirable substances, such as coffee alcohol. Excessive intake of this substance will increase the body's cholesterol content. Fortunately, scientists have proven that filter paper can effectively filter coffee alcohol, so from a health point of view, filter paper is the best choice. But not all filter papers are 100% healthy. Bright and white filter papers are all bleached, and bleaching requires many chemicals, including dioxins. Experts say that the use of bleached filter paper will cause some residual chemicals to enter the coffee, causing adverse effects on the human body. Therefore, if you prefer filter paper, please use unbleached filter paper, which not only contains no chemicals, but also filters more coffee alcohol. Which one tastes better? This may be the most critical issue and the issue we are most concerned about. The taste of coffee made with metal filter and, drip coffee bag, filter paper is completely different. First of all, because the metal filter cannot filter the coffee alcohol, the oil content in the coffee will be more, and the taste of coffee will be more mellow and full. If you like coffee with a heavy taste, it is best to choose a metal filter. On the contrary, the filter paper will filter out more substances in the coffee, and the taste of the coffee will be brighter and the taste will be more refreshing. But the problem is that if the coffee is brewed incorrectly, and the filter paper is not wetted and preheated in advance, your coffee may taste a little "papery." Generally speaking, if you like coffee with a more mellow taste and don't care how much coffee is filtered, then please choose a metal filter; but if you prefer a refreshing, bright coffee and care about the health effects of coffee , Then please choose filter paper and drip coffee bag.
