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.

I pull out a phin philter now and again for fun. I never buy robusta beans, but I do still like the phin. Watching the coffee drip down into a glass cup where I can see it slowly mix with some form of cream is pleasant and relaxing.
