How to Make Vietnamese Coffee

[@doctorbea]

I just bought a Vietnamese coffee brew kit (including whole robusto coffee beans and the phin), and I can't wait to try this. I appreciate the specific measurements you gave as a starting point for a proper concentration/strength. I also very much appreciate how you showed the detail of the blooming process. This is a fantastic share. Thanks for offering us your experience.

[@seeyouinvietnam]

Glad to know. how has your coffee experience been?

Perfect English. Sober and sound explanation. Please more about adding coconut milk and milk. Excellent comment on what is perfection. Different grind, Type and quantity of coffee, tightening or not or just gravity. Temperature of water. So much to explore

[@stinkyplum]

Thank you. This is the first Phin video I have seen that told me the weight of coffee to grind. Very useful. The others are like "2 or 3 tablespoons".

[@rolandquilente9318]

To be fair with others, he used 3 tbsp 😁

No doubt I will return. Hopefully next summer.

[@fromtheflightdeck252]

I pick my own coffee cherries in northern Thailand, squeeze the seeds out. After drying in the sun I roast them myself in a drum roaster on a picnic gas stove. Grind and all within 14 days from coffee cherry to cup makes a huge difference! Now I send my fresh coffee back to Canada and UK and they cannot believe the great taste either. Coffee from stores, especially if pre-ground is old, stale and dead! I like your style. See you in Viet Nam!

[@seeyouinvietnam]

Love it love it. We love to do coffee experiences as well. Been to numerous coffee farms, picked the cherries, and through all the process, tried some of the most expensive coffee varieties and also cheap ones. The reality is, it's mainly not the barista who makes the coffee taste good, it's the farmer who put their love, effort into taking care of the cherries, like taking care of their children. It's sad how poorly they are paid nowadays despite how much Starbucks charges for a cup of coffee. Anyway, contribute little effort to erase the inequality. Let us know when you back to VN, we'll make you some good coffee.

Love Vietnamese coffee, found 2 PHIN'S at a thrift-store for less than 3 euro total. best bargain I got in a while. only downside is that the included glass was a bit too small for my taste. since the PHINS I got is quite large, and looks to be more for 3-4 cups than 1-2 cups

I use a South Indian coffee filter which works exactly like this. Thanks for the tip about blooming the coffee, I'll surely try that next time. Our coffee has chicory in it though, will that interfere with that? A tip from my side for those looking to cut back on their sugar- honey or jaggery goes great with this filter coffee.

Sir saw this video just now and I find that a small plate to press the coffee powder inside the phin is missing . is this a different model of phin I am really fond of Vietnam coffee love from India thanks god bless you

Liked and subscribed as you are very precise in your video and I like phin to take camping as it's very portable for travel. Also not expensive. And everything is up to you to make the best coffee. Fresh Arabica beans or Robusta ...it's up to you! Was in Da Nang last year before lockdown began and loved it. Was in Hanoi 4 years ago..loved it. Will be back soon as things open up.

[@seeyouinvietnam]

Things will be back to normal soon. We have been through 2 years in hell, things could not go worse. Fingers crossed and hey, see you in Vietnam

Thanks! I just got a fin but it’s a screw down. Is that still good?

[@seeyouinvietnam]

Hi Jack Rinderer, Yes, it is. It is a new version of "Phin" but still good.

[@airinbone]

How I use screw down , taught to me by my Veitnamese neighbors, --> grind beans medium course , add in to Phin, screw down until a little resistance from coffee then backwards a few turns, add first water, wait 1 - 1.5 minutes, add the rest of water. Getting the bean grind is the hardest part, but after a few tries you will know.

[@vivienneandersson6019]

what type of coffee do you have to use for authentic taste?

[@seeyouinvietnam]

Vivienne Andersson in Vietnam, people mostly used Robusta coffee, dark roast to get the bitterness of the coffee. I recommend 50% Arabica 50% Robusta for the best balance. Cheers mate.

[@vivienneandersson6019]

@@seeyouinvietnam thanks, I love this coffee

[@fromtheflightdeck252]

What is different to ice milk coffee???

[@vhouse6520]

thanks for the vid, yet notice two things: first, seemingly the dripping set is made with aluminum? if so, switch it to stainless type, 'cause aluminum is risky for human health when contact with hot food. second, isn't it supposed to use a presser to press down the coffee while dripping?

[@seeyouinvietnam]

Thanks for your feedback! Whether or not to use a presser when making Vietnamese coffee is a matter of personal preference. While some people prefer to use a presser to get a stronger brew, I find that it makes the coffee taste too bitter. As for the use of aluminum dripping sets, you've raised a valid concern about potential health risks associated with using such materials with hot food. Using stainless steel or other non-reactive materials may be a safer option. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, and I'll be sure to keep it in mind when making Vietnamese coffee in the future.

[@davidgriffith6627]

I wish to purchase a phin but I’m not sure what size. What size or how many ounces is the phin you used in this video? Many thanks.

[@hiimmikecastro]

I've read that 4oz is perfect for a single cup

[@NgocHongDo]

I think coffee Phin has 4 parts, but you only use 3 parts to make a coffee, how's about another one? And can you share more what is the name of your method? And how many simple methods to make coffee that every Vietnamese can do? I really appreciate your sharing.

[@seeyouinvietnam]

The 4th one is actually optional. If you press the powder, it will drip very slowly, coffee gets thicker & feel like stronger & more bitter. However, longer brew extracts unwanted (unhealthy) chemical inside the coffee. That’s why keep the flow faster by not pressing the coffee is my suggestion. Hope you enjoy coffee morning, cheers mate.

[@fromtheflightdeck252]

It's called gravity press or plate. Not needed most of the time. I don't use it either.

Oh my god, I love Vietnamese coffee although it's so strong!!!

[@seeyouinvietnam]

Thank you!

[@minirambles5660]

Oh wow, is it really? I was cringing at the thought of sweetened condensed milk and ice, but if the coffee is strong enough to be enjoyed with such things it may be worth a try. I've tried a number of different methods to brew coffee ranging from Turkish coffee, French press (plunger), moka pot, cold brewed and of course regular drip (I haven't made espresso before). Now i'm seeing an ad on facebook of a "new" phin filter and that's how I got here. I decided to do research on this type of coffee. Happy brewing all!

[@fromtheflightdeck252]

Don't make it strong! Use a light or medium roast Arabica or use more water to dilute. Doesn't have to be Vietnamese coffee with chicory! I use a medium roast high-grown SHB Thai Arabica and it comes out great in a phin. I am a guy with espresso machine, French press, pour over Hario equipment, Aeropress, but I still like my Phin from Da Nang in 2020. It's easy to travel with and goes with me all over. Pack it in suitcase easily.

[@DrJamesT]

interesting he didn't use the top filter which normally distributes the water evenly. Probably because he has master the pouring

[@seeyouinvietnam]

I personally don't find the lid that useful, the blooming powder often pushes up the lid, I see newly designed phin filter has solved this problem.

[@VakeelAhmad]

I think we can buy grinded coffee beans at any coopmart store, can't we? Suggest me some good ones, please!

[@next-genshadow85]

Wait I wanna ask, when you pour the first hot water and wait 40 seconds, how did your coffee not drip? I'm confused

[@seeyouinvietnam]

just pour enough water to soak the coffee powder.

Where can I find robusta beans? Mine brewed too quickly; about 2 minutes.

[@magalilopez1890]

generally with coffee, if it brewed too quickly, it was ground too finely. For Vietnamese coffee you need it to be coarse.

[@uaziz7]

@@magalilopez1890 Hi, actually, grinding more finely slows the passage of water. David has probably ground too coarsely.

Why do you used Rabasta beans? Can't it be made from Arabica beans?? What is the ratio Vietnam coffee ingredients with Ratio tell me..!! Make a video

[@seeyouinvietnam]

Original Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk use Robusta beans which are bitter and can be balanced by the sweetness of the condensed milk. However, our fav ratio is 1:1 (Robusta: Arabica), but again, there is no perfect ratio. I recommend mixing between two types of beans. Are you an Arabica drinker?
