How to make Vietnamese Coffee?
Rich, flavourful and sweet, Vietnamese Coffee which is also called as ‘Ca Phe Sua’ has bold favours and is a delectable merger of condensed milk and freshly brewed coffee. The Vietnamese Coffee is usually served with a layer of condensed milk at the bottom of a small clear heatproof glass, with a stainless steel Vietnamese Filter on top.
Medium Grind coffee is added in the filter and distributed evenly. Boiling water is then poured on the top of the coffee grind. The coffee keeps dripping from the Vietnamese Filter on top of the condensed milk. Once it stops dripping, you can stir them up and enjoy the coffee.
Traditionally, a Vietnamese Coffee Phin Filter is used to brew the coffee, but you can also use the regular stove top brewer to make your coffee and then mix it with the condensed milk. In Vietnam, Trung Nguyen Coffee is often used to make Vietnamese Coffee and Vietnamese Iced Coffee.
Serve a scoop of Vanilla or Caramel Ice-cream along with your Vietnamese Coffee, to serve it as a dessert after your Vietnamese meal.

If you want to make Vietnamese Coffee at home, then always look for medium coarse grind coffee. You can use any type of coffee, as long as the coffee is normal to medium coarse grind and not fine grind, as the fine grind coffee would fall from the little holes of the coffee filter.
Usually, French Roast Chicory gives you the best Vietnamese Coffee, so if you can get your hands on French Roast, do give it a try.
What is Vietnamese Egg Coffee?
Vietnamese Egg Coffee is made just like the normal Vietnamese Coffee, the only difference is that in the Vietnamese Egg Coffee, the egg yolk and sweet condensed milk is whipped together until thick and is then mixed along with the freshly brewed coffee.
The texture which you get after whipping up the egg yolk and condensed milk is called Ribbon Stage, as when the beater is lifted the mixture falls like a ribbon.
To serve the the Vietnamese Egg Coffee, add the freshly brewed coffee into a clear glass. Next, pour the egg and condensed milk mixture slowly over the coffee. You will see that after some seconds the mixture will float on the top, without you having to do anything.

Using a French Press is another easy way to make a fresh cup of Vietnamese Coffee. You just have to place 2 tablespoons of your medium grind coffee in your french press and then add 2/3 cup boiling water on the top. Cover the French press with the top and steep the mixture for about 4 minutes.
