How to Brew Vietnamese Coffee with a Phin Filter

Discover the traditional Vietnamese brewing method behind every cup of Phin Wave.

Step by step

Step 1 - Add coffee

Add 3 tablespoons of ground coffee (about 20g for a very strong coffee, 10g for less strong) into the phin filter. Gently shake to level the grounds.

Step 2 - Bloom

Pour about 40ml of hot water (92°C–96°C) evenly over the coffee. Wait 60 seconds for the coffee to bloom and absorb water evenly.

Step 3 - Brew

Pour another 50ml of hot water into the phin. Wait 5 mins. For a long black coffee, fill the phin to the top with hot water.

Optional - Enjoy the kick

Add sugar, milk, or ice to your coffee cup.
