1, the difference of raw materials
Hanging ear coffee will select high quality 100% arabica beans. The choice of instant coffee is coffee beans grown by Robusta.
2. Different manufacturing processes
Ear-hanging coffee is a single coffee bean freshly roasted, ground and bagged directly, without adding anything. Freshly roasted coffee beans are professionally ground into powder, then put into ear-hanging filter bags, and then put into aluminum foil outer packaging bags for heat sealing.
Instant coffee is a dry coffee extract obtained by evaporating water in the coffee extract.
3. Different tastes
Hanging ear coffee is definitely not added. Because the ear-hanging coffee is ground from freshly baked 100% arabica beans, the coffee has obvious flavor and strong aroma.
In the process of making instant coffee, most of the aromatic substances in coffee beans will be lost in many high-temperature operating environments, which makes the flavor and taste of the finished products not as rich and pure as those of directly fried and ground coffee beans.
