Ca Phe Den (Black)

Vietnamese Phin Traditional by Gota Team

Rooted in Vietnamese ca phe den, this phin recipe serves the slow-dripped coffee without milk or sweetener. A dark roast supports its goal: a concentrated, full-bodied black cup with deep roast character and a clean finish.

Notes

Favor a medium-coarse, even grind and a dark roast with enough solubility for the phin's slow percolation. Level the bed and seat the press lightly; a stalled drip needs less pressure or a coarser grind, while a thin cup needs finer grounds.
