Vietnamese Traditional Coffee Phin Filter 8 Ounce, 2-pack, Gravity Insert

I like variety in my coffee life, and these definitely have a role and get used often. Obviously they are my go to for Vietnamese style drinks, duh. They are pretty much my go to for any style iced coffee actually. Cheap and indestructible enough to tote around, or stash places like work or relatives houses. I have a couple other phin filters, and I really like this size and design. The gravity top cap is my preference, I have some that screw down and inevitably find that I like to use more coffee than will allow the threads to engage anyway. I suspect this is because the phin pots are traditionally filled with much different coffee than I'm using which of course would call for a different dosage. Also, the separate "saucer" that the filter sits on over the cup is a preference. This design seems to keep the stray grind or fine out of the cup opposed to the kind that have the "saucer" rim built into the filter. Of course it's just another thing to lose, so I guess it goes either way. With practice and attention to grind size and how tight you pack them they make a decent cup of pour over, though definitely not ideal.

I recently discovered how awesome Cafe Sua Da is at a local Vietnamese restaurant. As an iced coffee lover/addict, I had to figure out how to make it. A couple minutes of internet research brought me to these filters (and some super easy recipes) Construction quality is solid, and the gravity filters make a drink just as good as screw type filters, while being quicker/easier to prep and clean. I've made at least a dozen batches in them and I've never had an issue with grounds making their way through. I have a high-quality espresso machine and I've been loving how easy and delicious it is to make Cafe Sua Da with these. My only criticism is that the 8oz filters only make about 6oz worth of coffee. I personally prefer more, so I found myself topping off this filter. I may replace them with the 11oz version, but ONLY because I'm a heavy coffee drinker. I'm happy with everything else about this product.

Very typical Vietnamese coffee filter: easy to use, easy to clean, easy to store. The only problem I have with them is that they seem to drain a little faster than other filters, otherwise they work great!

Best coffee maker out there, Makes great coffee in the old fashion way I take it on trips beats hotel coffee makers hands down

Bought these as a gift for my husband. Includes very hwlpful directions on how to steep....getting the grind (coarseness) right and how much to tamp down the beans takes a little practice to get the drip-rate right but its just a practice thing and well worth the effort. Very happy with how it turned out

Bought this set with a can of Cafe Du Monde. My local Vietnamese restaurant uses the Cafe Du Monde as well. The set brews a perfect coffee each time. I put condensed milk in a coffee cup and brew this right over it. Once done, I stir it up really good and pour the drink into another cup full of ice. Per my local guy, do not use a straw, drink it strait for the best flavor. Best Vietnamese ice coffee at a fraction of the price paid in restaurant.

I got these for my mom a while back and she's used them almost every day since.

I love this coffee set. It is somewhat similar to French pressed coffee. The coffee it makes is just different enough from drip brew to make it a special treat. You can make 2 cups of coffee for you and a friend. It is well made and if you follow the instructions, which are clearly spelled out, you get two cups of wonderful coffee. I make it every afternoon as a pick me up. Saves a lot of money from trips to Starbucks.
