How to Make

The best thing about our Robusta series? You can’t go wrong! The flavor profile is so versatile; you’re ought to find something you love. Because it produces a strong and robust flavor, authentic to Vietnamese coffee – we enjoy it most in its traditional setting, the phin drip.

We recommend a 4:1 water/coffee ratio, which provides an ideal recipe for maximum flavor extracted from the ground coffee. Grind size minimally differs depending on the filter holes of phins, but we recommend a moderately fine grind if using Fat Miilk’s equipment.

Recommended Method:
Vietnamese Phin Slow-Drip 

Grind Size: Fine

  1. Bring water to a boil.

  2. Add 1-2 tablespoons of ground coffee to phin.

  3. Insert tamper and gently even out grinds while pressing down.

  4. Place the entire filter on top of a cup.

  5. Pour enough water to coat the grinds. Allow the coffee to bloom for 30-60 seconds.

  6. Fill hot water to the top of the phin’s rim.

  7. Allow the coffee to drip slowly; the process should last approximately 5 minutes.

  8. Add condensed milk for traditional cà phê sũ’a đá, or enjoy with your favorite add-ons.

  9. Perfectly iced or hot.
