Notes

The Vietnamese phin is a gravity drip filter that produces a strong, concentrated brew. Traditionally served as cà phê sữa đá (iced coffee with condensed milk). Add 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk to the cup before brewing. The phin sits on top of the cup and slowly drips through. Use medium to dark roast, traditionally a robusta blend.
