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:

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


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

Step 3: Pour hot water to fill the filter.

Step 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.

Step 5: If you want authentic Vietnamese 'Phin Ca Phe' you will top the glass with condensed milk and plenty of sugar!!!
