HOW TO MAKE VIETNAMESE ICED COFFEE USING A PHIN FILTER

2. Prep Phin- twist-off filter plate from the phin chamber and add 3 tablespoons of ground coffee. Gently shake the phin to evenly distribute the coffee grounds.
3. Insert filter plate - Twist on the filter plate until it is pressing against the ground coffee. Don't twist it in too tightly!
4. Steep - Add 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) of hot water into the phin to allow the coffee grounds to bloom (expand) for 30 - 40 seconds.
5. Brew - Fill phin 3/4 full with hot water (about 4 oz of hot water). Place the lid on top of the Phin.* Your coffee will begin to drip slowly into your cup. Allow 4-5 minutes for the coffee to brew.

FOR THE ULTIMATE COFFEE EXPERIENCE, HERE ARE SOME TIPS FOR BREWING A PERFECT VIETNAMESE COFFEE

Boil your water temperature to around 185°F to 195°F
Twist the filter plate firmly into your ground coffee, but do not tighten the filter plate
- If it's too tight, the water will not be able to brew through
- Your coffee grounds need space to bloom (expand)
If the coffee is dripping too quickly from the phin, it means your filter plate is not firmly in place
- It is okay to slowly pour the water out of the phin to tighten your filter plate. Just add hot water again!
If the coffee is not dripping from your phin, it means you twisted your filter plate too tightly into the ground coffee
- To fix this, you can slowly pour out the water from your phin and readjust your plate filter by loosening it. Then add new hot water to your phin chamber.
If you are lactose intolerant or want to try something new, opt for sweetened condensed coconut milk. It's delicious!
