Caphe Phin Tutorial

by Sebastian Little

Vietnamese coffee is surprisingly good. The best preperation I found while visiting was this remarkably simple drip filter made of stainless steel. This little guy takes a few teaspoons of finely ground coffee and makes a unique drip brew that is less concentrated than espresso but stronger than traditional drip coffee. Makes about 4 or 5 oz. of coffee - or a cappuccino cup full.

The preperation is a short ceremony as detailed below:

  1. Spoon a few teaspoons of good finely ground coffee into the filter.

    2. Step 1

  2. Screw the top filter (lightly) into place.

    3. Step 2

  3. Pour hot water to fill the filter.

    4. Step 3

  4. Place lid and allow all water to drip through. This can take up to 5 minutes depending on how fine your grind is and how tightly you have screwed the top filter on.

    5. Step 4

If you want authentic Vietnamese 'Phin Ca Phe' you will top the glass with condensed milk and plenty of sugar!!!
