Home Brew Guide: Brew with Vietnamese Coffee Dripper

Move over Iced Coffee, the Vietnamese coffee dripper can make a sweet, intense cup of pour over coffee. No more bitter, gross espresso drinks, this is an easy way to make your morning cup of coffee with this inexpensive brew method.

exactly what I do every morning. I now prefer this to any other brewer I have

as a vietnamese, there are some mistake when making vietnamese coffee. first, you need to put some hot water on the lid then put the phin on it and pour enough amount of water inside the phin and bloom for 30 - 1min. secondly, don't press it, just put the insert thing on coffee, and pour some hot water and wait. finally, using aluminum phin can make better coffee than stainless steel one.

Is the hot water on the lid thing to heat it or something else?

Great tip!! Also size of the grind is important.. too course, coffee drips too fast, sour or weak coffee. Too fine (espresso) clogs it up. Medium-Medium Fine is best. I often use a paper filter under the grounds.. I cut them round ... to reduce grit and residue. Finer grind = longer extraction time, rich ... I rarely use milk or sugar, just use Phin for pour overs.

@@wherezthebeef phin is best use for black coffee only, if you make so bitter, or so sour you could try it with condensed milk to make cà phê sữa our traditional drink.

Nice work. I bout a Finn unknowingly like 3 months ago. I plan to use it instead of the regular pour over at my desk. This was great. Thanks!

Tip: Phins come with either the screw-in top piece or 'gravity insert', i.e., the metal part that covers the grounds from the water poured in from above. Get the Gravity, not the Screw-In... Screw In rarely works anyway, and big advantage of the Gravity insert (just rests on top) is that can easily use paper filters under the coffee grounds if/when needed. With the screw-on type, that's near impossible.

Good guide. Im using 125ml version with 35ml condensed milk and 12g coffee with total volume about 180ml.

Remove glue from the lip of Oui yogurt jar. Nice video!

I prefer this taste; to me it is balance between traditional Vietnamese phin (too strong) and normal pour over (litle light). I actually not using filter paper.

[@vhouse6520]

no condensed milk?

[@mylittlevangoghcantbethisc5848]

That usually cost around 2$ in Vietnam

Too much work

A coffee person doesn't mind the process, but for the likes of Starbucks..i understand

Sorry mr moneybags i cant afford to waste a paper towel every time i want coffee. Thats ridiculous.

[@CNile-se9xw]

@7531monkey. I'm with you. I do not like paper towels, tissues or single-use products. We often use microfibre cloths instead of paper towels around our home. Set aside a medium nap version; it could be the perfect substitute. They're dirt cheap and easily cleaned.
