Instructions
Rinse the filter with hot water just before brewing. This process helps the ground coffee bloom and drop better.
Add condensed milk to the serving cup. The amount of condensed milk depends on how sweet and strong you like your coffee.Regular Strong Coffee – add 1 tablespoonSweet Coffee – add 2 tablespoonsExtra Sweet, that tastes like candy – add 3 tablespoonsI added 2 tablespoons of condensed milk.
Keep the plate and the compartment with tiny holes over the serving cup.
Add ground coffee to the filter and spread it evenly.
Now press gently with the umbrella-like part (plunger). If you press too hard, coffee granules will clog the filter. Pressing the coffee will slow down the drip rate and you will get strong flavorful brewed coffee.
Let the boiling water sit for 60-90 seconds. This will let it cool to somewhere within the range of 195℉–205°F (boiling water will burn your coffee grounds).
Slowly pour 2 tablespoon of hot water over the coffee.
Cover the filter with the lid and keep for 5 minutes. This step will slow down the drip rate and you will get very flavorful coffee.
Now, remove the lid and slowly pour the remaining water over the coffee. The brewed coffee will start to drip in the cup.
Cover with the lid and let it brew for 8-10 minutes.
After 8-10 minutes, remove the filter from over the cup. Stir with a spoon and serve.
If drinking it chilled, then fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the coffee and condensed milk mixture over the ice.
Stir well using a spoon or a stirrer and serve immediately.
Notes
I used my 6 oz Phin filter to brew the coffee but you can choose the brewing method that you like. French Press, Moka Pot, or a simple Drip Machine also works fine. If you have an espresso machine, then use one shot of espresso in place of brewed coffee.
