VIETNAMESE DRIP COFFEE (CÀ PHÊ PHIN)

Vietnamese drip coffee, known as “cà phê phin”, symbolizes the country’s rich cultural heritage and love for coffee.

Vietnamese drip coffee is a unique method of brewing coffee. It involves using a "phin", a traditional metal filter, placed over a glass or mug to slowly drip hot water through finely ground coffee. The brewing process is slow, resulting in coffee that is strong and robust. It is often enjoyed sweetened with condensed milk, though it can also be served black or in other variations. With its distinct character, Vietnamese drip coffee offers a unique and delightful experience for coffee enthusiasts.

Vietnamese people enjoy coffee at various times of the day, morning, noon and evening, regardless of the mood or occasion. They savor their coffee slowly, taking small sips while reading, listening to music, chatting with friends or business partners, or working.
