Back to the basics
The Vietnamese phin filter is more than just a way to brew coffee, it’s a small reflection of Vietnamese life. Made entirely of metal, with no plastic, rubber, steam, or electronics, it embodies simplicity and endurance. Just a chamber, a perforated press, and a lid, yet it creates one of the world’s most distinctive coffee experiences.
Brewing with a phin is unhurried. You boil water separately, measure your grounds, pour, and wait as each drop falls. This rhythm mirrors something in the culture of Vietnam: a kindness and patience that values time spent together. In the bustle of Hanoi’s streets or a quiet village café, you’ll find people sitting with their phin, not rushing, but sharing moments.
The result is a cup that’s strong, rich, and often mellowed with condensed milk, comfort in liquid form. It’s a daily ritual tied to the happy simplicity of life: sitting with friends, savoring flavor, and finding joy in small things.
Durable and portable, the phin will last for years. It’s not about settings or machines, it’s about connection. With no manometer or boiler to fuss over, you’re left with something purer-the coffee itself, and the people you share it with.
Try the coffee from the same brand. No fancy advertising, no gold, silver, diamonds, premium, exclusive bling bling, only coffee, water, a piece of steel and a cup.
