My brother brought me a gift from Vietnam: a Vietnamese style filter pot and some local Robusta beans. I followed the recipe from the bag:
- 20g coffee grounded super fine
- 10ml and 30s bloom
- 60ml of additional water (70ml with bloom water)
This yields a super concentrated 30ml cup. Not something I would drink black. The coffee flavor will come through in Vietnamese recipe involving salted cream and concentrated milk.
Vietnamese Phin Coffee – Brewing Instructions
Add 20 g of ground coffee to the phin (Vietnamese coffee filter).
Pour 10 ml of purified water at 96°C (205°F) into the filter, wetting the coffee grounds.
Wait 30 seconds for the coffee to bloom and absorb the water evenly.
Pour 60 ml of boiling water into the filter.
Allow the coffee to slowly drip for 7–8 minutes, producing approximately 20–30 ml of brewed coffee.
