Vietnamese coffee, but also a natural blend of French and Vietnamese culture, showing a unique flavor.

In the method of brewing coffee, it inherits the traditional French concept of dripping coffee, using aluminum dripping pots without machinery to let boiling water leak into the cup through freshly ground coffee powder, so that guests can see the process of coffee production; however, in terms of taste, it is very local! First of all, in the selection of coffee beans, because of the latitude and climate, the varieties grown in Vietnam are ROBUSTA coffee beans with high caffeine concentration and re-roasting method, or because of the relatively lack of material level in Vietnam, when drinking coffee, they do not add sugar and milk respectively as the French do, but simplify the process. Directly pour the easily preserved condensed milk into the cup, and then let the coffee drop into it. The fragrant condensed milk is paired with heavy-roasted coffee to form a special rich taste of Vietnamese coffee, which is suitable for guests who like heavy taste. For this reason, Vietnamese coffee is served mainly in small cups, and guests are not advised to drink a large amount of coffee at one time.

As for Vietnamese coffee when drinking, due to the high density of condensed milk, it will first precipitate at the bottom of the cup, so guests can first taste a mouthful of black coffee, and then stir it according to their taste preferences. If you like slightly sweet taste, you can gently stir twice to let a little condensed milk into the coffee; if you prefer heavy taste, you can stir all condensed milk evenly. Fully enjoy the taste of Vietnamese coffee. At present, Vietnam is the second producer of coffee in the world, second only to Brazil, and Vietnam's coffee culture may not be as elegant and exquisite as other European and American countries, but because of its special local customs, it presents a simple sense of beauty. and it is fully integrated into the life of the local people, so that coffee no longer feels unapproachable, so find some time to experience it. Belongs to the coffee culture of Vietnam!

[two ways to use the dripping coffee pot in Vietnam]

The second method should pay attention to the amount of water not too much but evenly when injecting water for the first time, otherwise the coffee powder and water will quickly drop into the coffee cup, resulting in more residue in the coffee liquid. Its principle is similar to the first steaming of brewed coffee, where the coffee powder expands and becomes steamed in hot water, helping to extract evenly and efficiently.

After steaming for 5 or 20 seconds, screw on the sieve and pour in 95 °boiling water. The tightness of the sieve rotation will affect the extraction speed and coffee thickness. Usually, the tighter the spin, the longer the extraction time and the stronger the coffee. If the extraction is too slow after water injection, you can use the spoon handle as a screwdriver and loosen the sieve properly.

Six or three minutes later, after all the coffee is dripped into the coffee cup below, the condensed milk and coffee are mixed with a coffee spoon and a cup of unique Vietnamese coffee is extracted.
