Coffee is considered a very helpful caffeine drink among adults as it boosts the mood and restores your energy every morning/day. Coffee recipes originate from all over the world just like the” Vietnamese coffee”. There is always something unique and interesting that differentiate a special recipe from others. Vietnamese coffee recipe has just that to make it stand out.

Its origin is old enough to make a distinguished impact on taste enthusiasm. You can track back Vietnamese coffee recipes in 1857 when a French priest planted an Arabica tree in the country. The central Highlands were the most feasible place to produce coffee.

Mostly Robusta is used to make Vietnamese coffee recipes that were imported here in 1908 by the French. Vietnam earned the second position in the largest coffee producing countries all around the world. Not only the ingredients but also the brewing method and tools used to make Vietnamese coffee, determine a prominent place of it in the world of coffee flavours. These varieties of flavours are available in some Vietnamese coffee shops.

Vietnamese Coffee Maker

Vietnamese coffee is brewed in a specific pot named Phin, you can call it a Vietnamese coffee maker. Phin is a traditional brewing tool to brew single cup Vietnamese instant coffee. This traditional Vietnamese coffee maker consists of a filter plate, brewing chamber, gravity press and the lid. You can use it to brew Vietnamese iced coffee as well. This cool device is usually made of glass and stainless steel, its drinking pot is made of glass and the rest of the piece is made of stainless steel. This traditional coffee maker helps to get the authentic taste of Vietnamese drip coffee. It caught fame in the United States of America as Vietnamese coffee Starbucks, which is widely available there.

How To Make Vietnamese Instant Coffee

To make Vietnamese instant coffee, you need the following ingredients:

• Vietnamese coffee maker
• Vietnamese coffee beans/grounds
• Sweetener (optional) or sweetened condensed milk
• Hot water
• If you like Vietnamese iced coffee recipe get some ice cubes as well

It is a misconception that Vietnamese coffee is only iced coffee. If you like hot Vietnamese drip coffee you can brew it in a few minutes. But if you like the cold one, you can add ice after brewing the coffee.

Let’s start with the recipe, place the filter on the top of the Vietnamese drip coffee chamber. Add 2 scoops of coffee grounds in the Phin and place the gravity press on top. Pour some hot water and let it drip for a moment. Add the condensed milk and sweetener (if condensed milk is not sweetened). Stir thoroughly and your favourite coffee is ready to enjoy. This recipe is stronger than regular espresso so If you find it too strong, add some water and let it set. It will weaken the strong flavour and taste.

Vietnamese Iced coffee

Everyone has a unique preference, whether it’s the coffee types and flavours. The Vietnamese coffee is served hot but sometimes as per taste preference it is served by adding ice in it. Brew the coffee as I mentioned earlier. After the whole process, add some ice cubes into the coffee and blend it until it becomes a smooth and creamy texture. To make iced coffee more smooth and creamy add a certain amount of condensed milk in it. It is recommended to add sweetened condensed milk instead of adding raw sugar or brown sugar. Please make sure not to blend it too much as it will become more watery instead of smooth and creamy.

What Is So Special About Vietnamese Coffee?

There are several factors that make it special.

Vietnamese Coffee Beans

Usually, Robusta is used to make it. The Vietnamese Instant Coffee is too strong because Dark roast coffee grounds dispense a rich and bold flavour. These Robusta beans are stronger and bitter than Arabica coffee beans.

Condensed Milk

Condensed milk is used to make a texture smooth and creamy. It also helps to make it a little sweeter with the standing bitterness. Condensed milk is generally used in iced coffee. Starbucks Vietnamese coffee comes with condensed milk in it.

Phin Filter

Phin filter is a traditional drip coffee filter. It’s mostly made of stainless steel. Coffee grounds are placed on a Phin filter and hot water is poured over coffee grounds. Afterwards, the dripped coffee is ready to serve.
