Vietnamese Phin Filter Coffee

After exploring the roasting process, participants explore the art of brewing Vietnamese Phin filter coffee.

They learn how the Phin’s unique design allows for a slow, steady extraction. The instructor demonstrates the proper technique – gently placing the filter on top of the cup, adding ground coffee, then slowly pouring hot water over the grounds.

As the coffee slowly drips through the filter, a rich, intense brew develops. Guests then try the method themselves, mastering the rhythm of pouring to create their own Vietnamese Phin filter coffee.

This traditional technique produces a bold, flavorful cup.
