To make Vietnamese coffee, for example, prepare a Vietnamese pot, 15 grams of coffee beans, a warm coffee cup or small coffee pot, 94 ℃ of hot water and the right amount of condensed milk.

First grind the coffee beans into medium coffee powder. If the coffee powder is too fine, it will leak out from the filter, and the coffee will feel full of dregs, but if it is too thick, it will not be well extracted.

After grinding the coffee powder, remove the filter plate from the Vietnamese pot, pour the coffee powder into the pot, shake it flat, and put the filter plate back into the pot.

Pour in the right amount of condensed milk according to your preference, put the Vietnamese pot with coffee powder on a warm coffee cup, pour in hot water and wait for two to three minutes. To observe the speed of coffee dripping while waiting, the slow speed means that the filter plate is too tight, so you need to loosen the filter plate to speed up the dripping speed; when the water is finished, stir the coffee and condensed milk evenly, and you can enjoy a cup of Vietnamese coffee.
