What is a Phin Coffee Maker?
Introduced by the French, the phin coffee maker is a traditional Vietnamese coffee filter that is both simple and elegant. It consists of four parts: a perforated plate, a brewing chamber, a press, and a lid.
The phin brewing method allows hot water to slowly drip through the coffee grounds, extracting maximum flavor and aroma. Brwing coffee with this slow-drip method results in a strong, concentrated coffee typically enjoyed with sweetened condensed milk.
To make Vietnamese iced coffee, use Peak Flavor’s special bean blend. It is designed for this Vietnamese extraction method. Roast and grind the beans for the best taste.

2. Inconsistent Brewing: Variables like Vietnamese coffee ratio, water temperature, grind size, and tamping pressure can affect consistency.
3. Messiness: The process can be messy, with grounds spilling and difficulty cleaning the phin.
4. Temperature Loss: Coffee often cools down significantly by the time brewing is complete.
5. Learning Curve: Mastering the phin brewing method requires practice and patience.
6. Portion Control: Adjusting the brewing device for different serving sizes can be tricky.
These issues can detract from the overall coffee experience, making it essential to address them for a more satisfying brew.
Why Choose Peak Flavors Vietnamese Coffee?
At Peak Flavor Coffee, we’ve developed coffee specifically for Vietnamese phin brewing, making it easy to enjoy delicious Vietnamese coffee with consistency and ease. Here’s how we tailor our coffee to perfection for a phin, making Vietnamese coffee easy :
1. Naturally Sweet Coffee Beans: We source beans from high-altitude plantations in Brazil, Honduras, and Vietnam, where naturally sweet beans with abundant sugars like fructose are nurtured. Vietnam Robusta beans are key to brewing iced coffee happiness. These beans, when roasted, taste like caramel.
2. Low Acid Beans: Our farmers pick fully ripe, low-acidity Vietnamese coffee beans, ensuring a smooth and gentle brew that won’t upset your stomach.
3. Blend for Creaminess: Our phin blends include a bit of Robusta for creaminess and rich coffee flavor. Robusta beans have natural coffee oils that dissolve aroma substances, making your coffee rich and creamy.
4. Slow Roasting in Small Batches: Slow roasting brings out rich caramel flavors, a key feature of great Vietnamese phin coffee. To make authentic Vietnamese coffee, roast the beans slowly and darkly. This will bring out the flavors of caramel, honey, and vanilla.
Light roasts are not suited for phin brewing, but dark roasts must be dropped well before second crack to avoid a burnt aftertaste. It also enhances vanilla and honey notes, adding a delightful complexity to your brew.
5. Accurate Coffee Grounds: Phin filter brewing requires uniform grind size to avoid bitterness. Our professional burr grinders ensure 98% accuracy to 900 microns, perfect for phin brewing, eliminating bitterness from over-extraction.

Brew great Vietnamese coffee, one phinominal cup at a time.
The right coffee roast for brewing delicious Vietnamese coffee using a phin filter is typically a medium-dark roast, as it complements the brewing method and the rich, bold flavors characteristic of authentic Vietnamese coffee.
This roast level produces a full-bodied, aromatic brew with notes of caramel, vanilla and honey without smokiness or burnt aftertaste. A Medium-dark roast pairs excellently with sweetened condensed milk- a staple in traditional Vietnamese coffee recipes.
Phin filters rely on slow, drip-style brewing, which extracts intense flavors over time. Medium-dark, slow roasts provide lower acidity and more caramelization and prevent Vietnamese iced coffee from tasting overly sour or underwhelming. Vietnamese coffee often uses Robusta beans, known for their higher caffeine content and earthy, nutty taste, which withstands the darker roasting process well and enhances the brew's intensity.
Peak Flavor Phin Coffee is roasted for Vietnamese coffee taste.
To achieve the best results, freshly ground coffee should be used, with a medium-coarse grind size (900 microns with 98% accuracy) to balance the brewing time and extraction. This ensures a rich, smooth cup of Vietnamese coffee, capturing the traditional taste experience associated with the phin coffee filter.
The right coffee grounds for Vietnamese coffee with a phin filter are crucial to achieving the rich, bold flavors characteristic of this traditional beverage.
A medium-coarse grind size (900 microns with 98% consistency) is ideal for the phin filter, as it balances the slow drip brewing process. If the grounds are too fine, the water may not pass through effectively, resulting in over-extraction and bitterness. Conversely, overly coarse grounds can lead to under-extraction and a weak brew.
Vietnamese coffee often uses medium-dark roasted Robusta beans sourced from the highlands in Vietnam, known for their abundance in natural sugars such as fructose, higher caffeine content, and low acidity. Slow roasting develops natural sugars into rich caramel taste, which pairs excellently with sweetened condensed milk, creating the signature taste of Vietnamese coffee.
While Robusta beans are traditional, we use a blend with organic Arabica for a smoother and slightly sweeter cup.
Freshly ground coffee enhances flavor and aroma, so grinding beans right before brewing is recommended. Uniformly sized grounds ensure consistent extraction, delivering a balanced and flavorful cup. Properly prepared coffee grounds, combined with a phin filter, create the perfect foundation for authentic Vietnamese coffee.
