How-to-Brew-Vietnamese-Coffee.wmv

Genuine Vietnamese coffee brewing style includes the use of a stainless steel single-cup brewer/filter called a Phin, real Vietnamese coffee, and generally includes sweetened condensed milk. We show several different types of Phin filters and how to brew this style of coffee easily.

i feel like im watching an old 1950s kitchen appliance ad/commercial. lol i love this so much

[@laurakondrick1635]

Great demonstration. Clear and concise. And the presenter has lovely hands.

[@LenBrault]

Grind is important. Most grinders settings of medium or coarse drip work best. This looks like coarse corn meal. If you go finer, the filter holes will clog; if you go coarser, the water will run through too fast. To make it stronger you can add up to 50% more coffee, I suggest under the insert. If you use the screw-down type, don't tighten it, just screw down till it sits on the coffee grinds, and no more. Larger Phins do not drip faster per se, they drip more volume across a wider base.

[@RadioResearcher]

The best instructional video I have seen on this subject. I make mine this way and it's delicious. I drink the coffee "black" without stirring almost down to the milk, then swirl vigorously for a sweet, coffee-flavored treat to finish. All a matter of taste, of course.

[@rngr900]

Very easy to follow. Thank you. I've been using a phone for about 5 years but never understood the idea of giving the coffee room to expand. Great instruction. Thank you.

[@rngr900]

Phin that is.

[@cyrusbardouille3149]

You made a beautiful presentation! I drink the instant Vietnamese coffee, Vinacafe Ca Phe Hoa Tan 3 in 1. I am a single guy and student and work too. I have no time to make coffee like you showed during the week. However, I will try to make fresh coffee on Saturday or Sunday now that I have seen your video. Great job and Thanks for sharing, Cyrus

[@Spadoinka]

When I first tasted a Vietnamese coffee when travelling through Vietnam I couldn't believe my taste buds! Condensed milk and that buttery flavour....unbelievable! I brought eight bags of beans back home with me. Vietnam is awesome, great coffee, great food, great beer and great people, what more could you ask for!

[@JKTF476]

THANK YOU. This is best video on the subject out there! I was curious about the difference between gravity press and twist press and which was more traditional. This is first video that clearly explains the differences and demonstrates perfectly how to use the twist one. You are terrific.

[@levigr]

One of the most informative videos until now. Really good, thanks! :D

[@philg311]

Thank you for the demonstration on how to make the coffee. Santa brought me a Phin, Lady Fox and Sun Vietnamese coffee,and now I know what to do with it.

[@XeonProductions]

Thanks, someone gave me one of these style coffee makers and i was puzzled as to how to use it.

[@ApathyofHeart]

Thank you for this video. I just recently bought a phin filter and found it had no instructions, so this really helped!

[@tiggersmith7393]

Oh you are sweet! love the little laugh at the end! but seriously, great video and well explained, felt I was watching something from the 1970's!

[@LenBrault]

The proper amount of coffee for a standard 7-cm Phin filter (makes 6 ounces) is one level tablespoon. Coffee scoops are supposed to be a tablespoon, also. The number of beans depends on the size of the beans. I suggest using a rounded tablespoon/coffee scoop of beans. After you grind them it should be about a level tablespoon. The right grind looks like cornmeal. It should be big enough not to clog or slip through the filter holes and not much bigger.

[@512kvinion]

My son ( after visiting Vietnam), sent me one of these ( the tiny 1), as well as coffee -- Wessel coffee!! Thank you for the demonstration, had no idea how to use and make coffee! ;))

[@LongVu-lh9el]

512kvinion weasel coffee is one of the most expensive coffee in Vietnam and very hard to brew. If you brew its wrong it is complete like normal coffee but if you do it good this is one of the most flavor coffee i ever taste.

[@leanneyee2323]

Managed to make coffee with the phin after watching this tutorial. Thanks!

[@andrew4558]

@hippt Vietnamese coffee drinkers like bold, smooth flavor and strong coffee. The golden rule is more coffee and less water for a good cup of coffee. Choose a filter in which the presser is pretty tight to the vessel. Pour first little water for a best absortion and the coffee to be expanded, and press down again the presser before pouring the hot water. You have to be sure approximately one drop per second then you get it right.

[@elms350z]

Thanks for sharing. I love Vietnamese coffee.

[@LenBrault]

(coffee far right) Indochine Estates, a company that operates out of the Dalat region and runs a few coffee shops called Brio, and (coffee second from the right) Highlands Coffee, one of the leading brands by a company that operates about 60 coffee shops. Trung Nguyen is the largest coffee company, shipping to 20 countries and operating about 800 coffee shops in SE Asia.

[@carolm7759]

Thank You for this. Very nicely done.

[@jennimah]

Love this video and all the different coffees you offer, Len at your site! Gettin ready to put my fall order in! Can't wait to try the moka!

[@clarke6814]

You have a very relaxing and calmong voice😊

[@MissNe2]

it depends~ normally it's about 1/3 of your coffee phin filter( 2 spoons)~ it takes around 2 minutes to let the water drop all

[@cat5fan]

15 videos and this is the best, thanks! If you were to make is a lot stronger would you first put the heaping Tablespoon, screw the filter on, then put extra on top? I'm assuming the compression must be correct to get the right drip rate. Also, will the grind play into the drip rate? Also, all things the same will not a larger phin drip faster? Due to the larger surface area that will create more dripping? I'm thinking an Aeropress with a stainless filter will get the job done.

[@Your_Degenerate]

I'm glad Sidney Frederickson linked to this in another video. It looks interesting. Since espresso makes so little an inbetween strength alternative sounds great since it makes the same amount I would have from an automatic drip machine.

[@LenBrault]

@luongbinhhai Of course she is not a barista, she says herself "this is the way I brew it at home." This is a home brewing guide, not barista training. It's here to give a brief demo to our customers and others who want to know how to use their Phin filters. Everybody uses their filter a little differently. Some people like to use twice as much coffee and let it brew for 12 minutes even if it gets cold. Every coffee shop serves it a little differently. This is an introduction only.

[@ericd4020]

Excellent! Thanks!

[@Marrow9000]

My friend gave me a couple bags of Trung Nguyen Vietnamese coffee recently. It doesn't taste right in my normal brewing machine. Thanks for the video. I will go buy a phin and brew it correctly now!

[@karenduenas5605]

Great video and perfect demonstration! Thank you so much!! 😄😊

[@fromtheflightdeck252]

Phin from Highland Coffee..good coffee shop in Da Nang by the river Han...been there!

[@LenBrault]

Most likely you are using too little coffee or using an American style coffee, which is often very porous in comparison. Make sure you are using at least a rounded tablespoon of coffee and tamping it just a bit. If using a porous coffee you can probably add 50% or 100% more volume to get the right brew time. That always brings the best flavor.

[@_TTS_]

thank you for the tutorial! it was simple and easy to understand, i'll go brew the coffee now! :)

[@HuynhTuanAnh91]

It's so good. It's so tasty. It's so coffee.

[@JenR1215]

Thanks for sharing the size difference!

[@stevehoge]

Thanks for the details on proper pressure on the screw-on tamper and backing it off. Would be useful to know coffee/water volumes in ml/grams

[@fivepenni]

Definitely getting one of these for bushwalking -- and, although this is irrelevant, wow! How attractive is the presenter!

[@susannahdean584]

Great video!

[@yuunjac]

Just recently got back from Vietnam. Bought the Phin and was quite puzzle on how to correctly use it. Glad to have this video. A question though... can I just simply throw in the coffee into the Phin without screwing it down with the compressor?

[@EliezerPennywhistler]

+yuunjac No. It's there for the reason she explained.

[@Docentino1914]

My Phin Coffee Set came in the mail yesterday. I have tried it and It's Great! By itself, I say It's way better than Italian Espresso - except... by the time it finishes brewing/dripping it's a bit cold. Great for Ice coffee, sure! :) I have figured that you can put that Phingy on top of a small boiling milk pot. Haven't tried it yet. Will follow up tomorrow. Chúng tôi yêu Việt Nam!

[@Docentino1914]

Hope my google translations were accurate.

[@ArkhamJacks]

Thank you!

[@900cc]

I've been doing it wrong ever since i bought my own dripper. I totally forgot that i had to pack the coffee in first and then screw the cap thing on to pack it. I just dumped the coffee grounds into it and poured water over lol.

[@nialljudge5073]

I bought 2 of these in Vietnam just in case I ever lose one. Also if u just on a stopover u can find them for sale in the airports. Alternatively, possibly try an asian shop or online

[@jjong4590]

I have one question, I have whole bean coffee and I use a coffee grinder to ground my coffee. How much coffee beans do I use and how long do I ground it for? Thanks!

[@JackGilbertJr]

Excellent video. Thank you very much!

[@Ericpoon2001]

Hello, how much coffee powder we should put into the filter? I try to do once, but after 3hours, it only has dripped half of the water.

[@lgic1]

Thank you, that was helpful...

[@davidsain2129]

Thank you for this very helpful video. I bought the gravity type & enjoy it. How do the screw down & gravity types compare?

[@LenBrault]

+David Sain The world's largest Asian coffee company, Trung Nguyen, uses only gravity insert in their shops. We also find that people prefer the gravity and they work as well or better. All the shops we supply eventually switch to the gravity ones... the woman who was nice enough to do the demo for us, like many Vietnamese who brought the tradition here, still use the screw-down, but part of the issue is that you need to reach into the hot water to adjust it afterwards, usually. We figured that since the screwdown is so common in Asian stores here, we would use the screwdown for the demo, but really, we prefer the gravity!

[@davidsain2129]

Thank you, Len Brault! Trung Nguyen is the brand of brewer & coffee I ordered, & it was delicious.

[@thomashoang6789]

What are the two brands of coffee on the right?

[@LenBrault]

Sorry to be late on reply. The problem may not be the phin but the grind or amount of coffee. Try 50% more coffee or finer ground to get it to drip slow. Phins can be purchased at vietnamesecoffee. com if you do decide you don't like your filter.

[@noodlejamp]

where can i buy the phin? online... because i bought one in an asian market and the phin drips so fast, it takes five seconds to drain the whole phin. even when i do everything in the video and adjust here and there.

[@oak415]

I can't seem to make mine like Lee's Sandwiches. When I asked the cashier what brand they use he said the franchise sends them pre-made coffee by the gallons. Anybody know what I may be doing wrong?

[@nguyenduongtuongthuy]

@hippt : I guess how coarse your coffee ground is affect the timing.

[@whymoney79]

Thank you.

[@LenBrault]

You can buy top quality phins of three different sizes at vietnamese-coffee . com. The gravity insert phins are easier to use and we prefer them.

[@dinnae]

How finely do you grind the coffee for this preparation? Thank you for the video!

[@simonasanchez6558]

Whatever you want. I think something a tad more coarse than drip.

[@Wuei108]

Formidable!

[@mike97525]

thanks

[@danubiadasilvasimoes5721]

Maravilhoso

[@vitannah]

Great video! I tried to share a link to this on my Amazon review, but my review was then declined due to an outside link. Great instructional video! It helped me purchase the items to create delicious coffee. {{QUESTION:}} can you re-use the grounds to make another coffee, perhaps of a smaller amount??

[@gookskywalker]

Where can one buy Vietnamese Coffee in the US without having to fly all the way to Vietnam?

[@scopedynasty]

Check out Lee's Sandwiches or if you're making your own, Cafe Du Monde brand

[@johnbrookhaven7134]

Go to Vietnamese restaurance..they sell coffee too

[@Yakplanet_tv]

What size was the big mug phin?

[@LenBrault]

The one in the film is 11 ounces. We have 11 ounces and 15 ounces. But a 15 ounce phin is so wide it will not fit normal mugs, you need an extra-wide mug :-)

[@martenlandstrom]

I wonder where to buy the large version of the drip filter? Any source online for that?

[@LenBrault]

+martenlandstrom You can buy 6 ounce, 8 ounce, 11 ounce or 15 ounce filters on www.vietnamesecoffee.com. Best regards!

[@sachabruyn3481]

your accent is mesmerizing o___o

[@ThePopbanks007]

Her accent is insanely annoying

[@chajang7292]

You look like Park Shin Hye!

[@FlyingPigNJ]

Is that 11 or 15 oz you used for the regular mug at home?

[@LenBrault]

Use the 11 ounce phin for small mugs and the 15-ounce for large mugs. The 15 ounce filter is very wide (fits in a minimum diameter of 3.25"). Make sure it will fit on your mug, or else brew into a jar or something you can transfer into your mug.

[@FlyingPigNJ]

Thanks...trying to get the 11 ounce, but they are all gravity inserts:(

[@KishorTwist]

I use mine every day, one cup at least a day. Hmmm, good black coffee, no sugar, no cream, as is.

[@edwinleyno6813]

could you tell me where to buy a set of Phin ?

[@lilytranlily6530]

You can buy any in vietnamese or asia market or even local supermarket its easy to found & cheap, not expensive at all. You also can mix with coffe+fresh milk+Condense milk(condensed milk is really sweet) so if you want less sweet just put it a bit. i was use condensed milk only but nowadays i use half condense & half fresh milk, its less sugar & still taste the same. Im Vietnamese too. (Sorry everybody my bad english :)

[@lilytranlily6530]

If your place dont have any vietnamese coffee shop/market. You can use some others product powder coffe in pack then dissolved with a bit hot-water & put ice+milk then mix, its easy & fast. But this way, less coffe so savor not the best, but you can try one. Sometime i use that too, its easy & fast, cheap so i have it everyday, when i have time i do original vietnamese coffe like that. Hope it help

[@ThursdayDog]

Amazon sells them too!

[@kimurafrank]

thanks a lot for this video. i brought home 5 phin filters from my vietnam trip 1 week ago. sadly none of the filters have a screw-filter. so i pour in 20 ml first...then another 50 ml of water. but because there's no screw on the filter... the filter goes up and tilts inside the container. how can i prevent this if the filter doesn't has a screw? thanks for helping

[@LenBrault]

The gravity type works very well if you don't pour all the water in at once. Prime it with just a couple tablespoons, wait 10-15 seconds, then add the rest of the water slowly. This seats the insert against the coffee so that it won't rise up.

[@user-vj5ty1ex1m]

Great Video👍

[@lovestoryim]

She poured too much water in the chamber, it makes coffee diluted.

[@QJSquall]

Amazing tutorial! Thanks for going into this much detail. ^ _^

[@НикитаРозвод]

she's so damn hot!

[@bennyoaks131]

Probably one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. Seems very intelligent as well.

[@ilovehoneyandbabyy]

Dude hurry up. Too much talking

[@techibabe]

these can be found in most Vietnamese supermarkets in the US now and they are super cheap, just a couple of dollars. Make sure you do very fine grind or the water will just go right through. It reminds me of several espresso shots because it is so dark. Condense milk makes it taste so much better.
