Thoughts on drip bags
This is Kojima from Fuglen Coffee Roasters.
This year is completely impossible, but normally I go abroad several times a year to meet coffee producers. Whenever I go abroad, especially to a producing country, I always bring my own brewing equipment, grinder, and coffee beans, and equip myself so that I can make coffee anywhere as long as I have hot water.
It may come as a surprise to some, but for a variety of reasons, the odds of getting good coffee in a coffee-producing country are pretty low.
However, carrying all the coffee brewing equipment other than hot water will take up a lot of weight and space, but I can't live without delicious coffee, so I will bring it even if it means reducing other luggage. .
Comandante heavy grinder for grinding beans, aeropress, scale for weighing beans and hot water, and a tumbler. If you have this, you can make coffee with the same quality as a cafe wherever you go. But I think about it. What do you think of the drip bag?
Even if I went to the mountains on the other side of the earth, the drip bag was the last and last weapon for me who always made coffee from scratch.
But you won't know unless you try.
So I thought I'd give it a try as soon as possible.
First, I contacted the manufacturer of the drip bag and had them send me an empty drip bag.
When I tried extracting it, it was surprisingly easy to do, and I thought this might be cool.
Next, in order to test the grain size of the beans, we asked them to grind the beans with a grinder at the manufacturer's factory with 5 types of grind size, from medium to fine, to test the extraction.
The grains I found were very delicious, and I wanted to commercialize it as soon as possible and have everyone drink it.
Finally, two types of drip bag coffee were completed.
Drip bag / Chelbesa Danche, Ethiopia
Drip bag / Aristides Guarnizo, Colombia
This time I made it with Cerbessa Danche from Ethiopia and Aristides Guarnizo from Colombia.
Ethiopian Cervessa has a fresh fruity flavor and sweetness like peach and muscat, and a soft fragrance like Ethiopian jasmine.
Colombian Aristides has ripe prunes, red grapes, wine-like flavors and chocolate-like sweetness.
In making this drip bag, we were particular about the amount of beans.
A normal drip bag is 12g, but we put 14g of coffee beans in a slightly larger bag. It is a size that can be fully extracted with a mug.
Try hot water around 200cc to 230cc. The temperature of the hot water is around 93 degrees.
Beans that have already been ground are easy to lose flavor, so nitrogen is added to delay the loss of flavor.
You can purchase from one piece, so I think that it will be appreciated when you want to try the coffee beans before buying them, or as a gift for your friends.
Also, from now on, I think it would be great to take it with you when you go hiking or camping in the fall, boil water, and enjoy delicious coffee in the middle of nature.
From now on, I would like to leave my heavy equipment at home once in a while and use a drip bag to enjoy my coffee while traveling.
