Vietnamese Phin

Coava Specialty

Vietnamese Phin Traditional by Coava Coffee Roasters

From Coava Coffee Roasters, a phin method tuned for specialty single-origin beans rather than the usual robusta blend. A tight 1:6 ratio pulls a dense, concentrated cup meant to be diluted with hot water, ice, or milk.

Not a timer. Your barista. It guides every pour live, learns from each cup and tells you what to change to nail the next one — with a tasting journal, bean and grinder tracking.

Notes

Offset the lid slightly so it can't form a vacuum seal that stalls the drip. The first drip should reach the carafe around 2:00–2:30; if nothing has dripped by 2:30, gently lift the gravity press with a spoon to free the flow. Keep the press resting light — pushing it down or grinding too fine chokes the drip.
