Phin Dark Roast

Vietnamese Phin Traditional by Gota Team

Designed around the dark robusta roasts commonly used for Vietnamese phin coffee, this recipe adjusts extraction to restrain harshness. Its target is a dense, bold cup with cocoa-like depth, weight, and controlled bitterness.

Notes

Use 93°C water and avoid compressing the dark grounds firmly, since both excess heat and a stalled bed amplify charred flavors. If bitterness dominates, grind a little coarser; if the cup is weak, tighten the grind first.
