I did a bunch of research on vietnamese coffee recently because my coffee wouldn't taste like the local vietnamese restaurant. I would skip grinding the beans and go to your nearest asian grocery and buy "Trung Nguyen" coffee. It's roasted with butter and sugar, and the proper grind. It's not something that is really offered from traditional roasters. Also, look for "Longevity" condensed milk while you're there. Both those things should mean you get as close as possible to authentic vietnamese coffee and only costs about $10-$15 for about 20 servings.
People in Vietnam really enjoy waiting for coffee dripping into the cup. The way they make Vietnamese coffee is different from the coffee to make Espresso, so maybe if you use robusta or abrica, the taste maybe like Americano if you use this coffee dripper :D
Thank you for your help my coffee was dripping way too fast and I wasn’t sure what I was doing wrong other videos demonstrated with a similar drip coffee but yours was the one with the screw so I clicked on yours thanks for being so comprehensive with the directions and why they work☕️😊
I love your way of making coffee. One point, if you let coffee bloom freely before placing the lid may be an improvement. Light or heavy placement of the lid will decide time of brew and strength of coffee. Cheers
I wish I had heard about this before wasting $30 on an aeropress. The aeropress is too small for even a standard 16oz mug, so I use it like a mix between a pour-over and a French press, which is exactly what the Vietnamese filter is for half the price AND a reusable filter.
It's also time-saving - even though it takes few mins to drip through - it's designed so that you simply pour the water into the filter, and off to to your work desk, without wasting time at kitchen starring at your coffee brewing. I use it daily.
The vido is on point! Although in Vietnam, they use quite fine grinded coffee (and don't mind when it leaks through the brewer), I'd prefer a coarser grind, too.
I was just in Vietnam and loved their coffee, so I bought some from Trung Nguyen to bring back to the states. Had some confusion because the clerk had limited English and I know zero Vietnamese. She kept saying not for machine. I thought she meant don’t use it in something like a Keurig or Nespresso machine. I tried brewing it in my Mr. Coffee and had coffee and grounds everywhere. I have a little single coffee filter like you used in the video, but would like to make coffee in a larger quantity. Can I use a French press? Or is there some hack so I can make it in my coffee maker?
The principle of cold brew is that water temperature of 0 degrees passes through the coffee powder. For speed and efficiency, you can add water at 0 degrees in the refrigerator, and then add two ice cubes to ensure the water temperature is 0 degrees. Good luck
There is a reason for drip cap You need put some hot water in drip cap and place drip on top of the cap for about 30s . If you dont do that, your coffe will wash alway easy, that make your cofee dont have all the taste This is what we call warm up coffee.
You can add any coffee powder. If you use robusta, you must add an appropriate amount of condensed milk or sugar to control the bitter taste. No need to add sugar if using Arabica.
yeah - this may happen - you'll have to gently disturb the coffee bed up top to get it to begin dripping again - and then adjust the grind coarser for next time
it is not traditional to Vietnam ! It was introduced to them by the French! You can still find these French made drips (in diufferent quality) in French brocantes
@@光影月 the answer is quite simple. When electric filter coffee cafetiere machines arrived in the 1960's these manual drips fell out of fashion. It may happen also in Vietnam in a few years. They are now only really for collectors like me. I have about 10 made in France from the 1940's to early 60's. In the old days smart hotels in France and cafes often served these "vietnamese" drips to customers. Life was more leisurely then! The French were inventive relating to coffee machines. Their competitor to the English "Cona" vacuum coffe was "Hellum". The known still existing make here SEB invented in the late 50's an aluminium stove top with their patented filter system & rubber seal. This too is very rare (with preferred alu lid as opposed to the later cheaper plastic one) now as explained why, but makes very good rich coffee. You can, if interested, see them for sale second hand on Leboncoin site. search under "cafetierre ancienne" or 'ancienne machine a café"
The VNmese coffee filter as we know nowadays is actually a poor man's way to brew coffee. You pack a layer of ground coffee at the bottom, then pour hot water on top and let the brew drip down to your cup. That's it, and definitely not the best way to brew your cup of joe. In the era of espresso machines, to go back and use this antiquated rigmarole is like going back to living in the caves and using torches for indoor lighting. Next question: what is condensed milk? A creation targeting the french colonies during the Indochina era. The French for some reason did not introduce (fresh) milk production to the colonies, except for their own use. Thus the VNmese were/are not educated with the concept of dairy products. Like anything else not native to the land, milk had to be imported and eventually produced domestically under the form of condensed milk. Definitely not fresh, not much that we know as milk in this goo but lots and lots of sugar and god knows what else. So it's up to you to decide....

Great tip 👍 I've been looking to emulate Malaysian 'Kopi' and it's all in the beans, which are roasted very similarly. Thanks!
Agreed! The Trung Ngueyn is great. Wouldn't reccomend it for other brewing methods, but in the dripper its perfect.
Thanks for the info!!
That’s very true Joshua, it’s roasted with butter but we can’t forget that the robusta bean is equally important.
yesss i love trung nyugen so much!! it tastes almost chocolatey to me! im not a coffee pro but i love it :)))
This is the same as Filter coffee in South India. It's interesting to see how a lot of culture and customs in different countries are interconnected.
This channel is very underrated tbh, iI dont know why you dont have more subs. Youre great to listen to. Thanks for this!
Glad you enjoy it!

Bit of an older video and I know I have said this before, but I swear whenever I search you always have a video prepared for my every coffee need.
🫶 thanks so much! It's fun to try out new bre methods. Always coming across new ways and seeing how it makes coffee taste. This was one of favorites !
Thank you for your help my coffee was dripping way too fast and I wasn’t sure what I was doing wrong other videos demonstrated with a similar drip coffee but yours was the one with the screw so I clicked on yours thanks for being so comprehensive with the directions and why they work☕️😊
Thanks for this. You showed me that I was grinding my coffee way to fine, thus taking very long to brew.
Glad I could help!
Thanks. I regularly drink this in Indonesia and want to try making it myself.
I drink it hot with condensed milk. Delicious!
love it!
Indonesia kopi luwak is so yummy

Thank you that was an excellent video and I now know where I was going wrong!
Glad it helped!
Thanks a heap for the recipe I can taste it from Australia
You are most welcome
does that filter have a threaded tamp bit, growing up i used the one with a threaded tamp to get a certain compaction to it
Just tried some ...... awesome coffee, that's why I'm here👍
The best! thanks for watching 😀

Is a 16oz mug standard? I've never seen a mug that holds more than 300ml
That was quick and easy, thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks bud! Great video 👍
Glad you liked it!
G'day Josh.
Simple & effective, I like that.
Just subscribed to your channel.
All the best.

Thanks for the sub Clive! Appreciate the feedback too 😀
Super.
Bardzo dobrze to pokazałeś.
Dziękuję.
You’re welcome
Thanks for the tutorial man!
No problem!
Well, I've lived in Việt Nam for over 10 years now and never experienced coffee from coarse ground beans.
The vido is on point!
Although in Vietnam, they use quite fine grinded coffee (and don't mind when it leaks through the brewer), I'd prefer a coarser grind, too.
I think usually they bloom it a bit first before pouring the full amount of water.
that's right! 0:57 I pre-infuse 👌
@@AlternativeBrewing Awesome, sorry missed that the first time.
Hi, the small glass cup you're using is really nice-looking... does your store also sell them?
These glasses are actually Whiskey Glasses, we do not carry them but you can find similar glasses in most major retailers.
Why does Nguyen Supply recommend a fine grind setting? Also, how many grams of water did you use?
the condensed milk in a tube just blew my friggin mind! hahha
hahaha! the best!
I was just in Vietnam and loved their coffee, so I bought some from Trung Nguyen to bring back to the states. Had some confusion because the clerk had limited English and I know zero Vietnamese. She kept saying not for machine. I thought she meant don’t use it in something like a Keurig or Nespresso machine. I tried brewing it in my Mr. Coffee and had coffee and grounds everywhere.

Or is there some hack so I can make it in my coffee maker?
No, it sounds like the grind size is not the best for this style of brewing.Yes, I would suggest using a French Press and see how this goes.
聽説美國人傳統不喝羅布斯塔，這種咖啡必須加入少量糖來控制該死的苦味。
Thanks for the tutorial, what grind size do you recommend for a baratza encore?
For the Baratza Encore, try a 15-18 grind size 👌 If this is too slow, for up to 20.
@@AlternativeBrewing awesome thank you!
Can you do a cold drip through this?
not really - the water container is not large enough for that I guess
The principle of cold brew is that water temperature of 0 degrees passes through the coffee powder. For speed and efficiency, you can add water at 0 degrees in the refrigerator, and then add two ice cubes to ensure the water temperature is 0 degrees. Good luck
This is great, but your initial iced coffee example was so pale I think it was missing the coffee! ;)
Great point!
From Indonesia 🇮🇩
Nice vid !
How much water was used in total? Or the coffee to water ratio?
Seem like 120ml i guess.. Too much ratio right?
@@andreanuansa8522 do you make vietnam drip?
@@baristaodla7640 almost every night i guess, my favorite ratio 1:12 (1gr : 12ml filtered water) since I used size 120ml Vietnam drip I use 10gr.
@@baristaodla7640 anw I used single origin dampit for the coffee ground (medium grind)
@@andreanuansa8522 aight thx. I was thinking of making a 1:5 ratio so I can add more milk

If you dont do that, your coffe will wash alway easy, that make your cofee dont have all the taste
This is what we call warm up coffee.
How tight do you screw down the press? I’ve bought one, at first I got it right but I’ve lost my method.
@@SuperBlackted just press it down and the ground will expand, make your coffee extract better
hello, can I use any kind of coffe into this infuser? or has to be vietnamese only?
Any coffee is possible 👍
Trung Nguyen coffee fits the best. But you can use any Robusta. I would not suggest 100% Arabica for Vietnamese Phin
You can add any coffee powder. If you use robusta, you must add an appropriate amount of condensed milk or sugar to control the bitter taste. No need to add sugar if using Arabica.
What if it stops dripping and there is still water?
yeah - this may happen - you'll have to gently disturb the coffee bed up top to get it to begin dripping again - and then adjust the grind coarser for next time
Wer can i purchase (online) this legit phin drip?
yes! alternativebrewing.com.au/products/ten-mile-vietnamese-coffee-dripper
i never drank instant coffee again after getting this, goodbye nescafe
It could be better if you get a real traditional Vietnamese coffee filter. I recently bought one from Trung Nguyen, it cost me about $1-$2.
Does espresso and this drip coffee taste the same??
No, espresso is a beast of it's own. Drip coffee can be string but won't have the oils or texture that an espresso has.
@@AlternativeBrewing Okay. Thanks so much 🙏😃
it is not traditional to Vietnam ! It was introduced to them by the French! You can still find these French made drips (in diufferent quality) in French brocantes
I had no idea. Thanks for sharing 🫶
As far as I know, phin was invented by the French, but I don't know why the French rarely used phin later.

How wrong do you want to make Vietnamese Coffee? This Guy: Yes.
Coffee 25g for about 200ml of water? Is it too strong?
strong is good! Mix it with some milk and will be tasty 😀
Sorry but Vietnamese coffee is very strong. When I pour from spoon to cup via a white light, I do not want to see brown or the light at all.
if you drink this coffee you will get drip
CovidImages need to be invested more than half19
Coffee beans way over roasted. So oily.
So your a raw bean guy.
It's the style. You need the prominent 'roast' flavour to punch through the condensed milk. This is not a dripper for light nordic roasts
Oh my the coffee stains on the table..
Have since updated the table to a white laminate table - much easier to clean up the spills! 🤣
This is not close to Vietnamese coffee dawg
