What is Vietnamese coffee?

There are a lot of different types of Vietnamese coffee, but this one is made with coffee from Vietnam mixed with condensed milk. Even the coffees that are grown and made in Vietnam can be called Vietnam coffee. Among them are Robusta and Arabica, which have two main subcategories called Moka and catimor, which are both types of coffee.

Vietnamese coffee beans

Robusta coffee, which has a high caffeine concentration and a harsh flavor, is the primary crop grown in Vietnam. The production and export of Arabica coffee, the most popular kind in the specialty coffee industry in the United States, is on the rise in Vietnam. Cafes like as the Workshop and Shin Coffee provide Arabica and catimor mixes, which are becoming common. Single-origin Arabica Vietnamese Coffee is even available at the Vietnam Coffee Republic. Blends of Robusta and Arabica are carefully crafted by Copper Cow Coffee to provide a smooth yet genuine taste. The famous Vietnamese coffee bean brands are:

  • Trung Nguyen 
  • Vinacafe
  • Chest brew

How to use Vietnamese coffee maker?

You can make a cup of Vietnamese coffee anywhere because of its tiny size, lightweight, and simple components. It's not simply the mobility that makes this brew type unique; it's also the flavor and aroma. A Vietnamese coffee maker, when used correctly, should produce a unique cup of coffee. When it comes to taste, the Vietnamese method is halfway between American and espresso, but it's as straightforward and pleasant. There are the following steps to use Vietnamese coffee maker:

  • Mind the grind
  • If the damper is still attached to the filter, take it off.
  • Put some coffee into the filter
  • Turn on the damper again.
  • The stainless steel filter should be placed on top of your cup of hot coffee.
  • Almost bring a cup of water to a rolling boil.
  • Wait
  • Pour, sweetened, and soften

Ingredients

You will need:

  • 3 tbsp. ground Vietnamese coffee
  • 1-3 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk, depending on your choice.
  • 6-8 ounces of nearly-boiling water, depending on the strength of the coffee you need.

Step by step guide

Step 1

Start by removing the top screen from your Vietnamese coffee filter. Then, pour in 3 level teaspoons of your preferred coffee to the filter. To the extent possible, try to distribute it out equally Finally, reinstall the filter's top screen by screwing it back into place. Don't stress about getting it just correct; one or two complete revolutions should be sufficient

Step 2

When brewing Vietnamese coffee, it may take anywhere from three to five minutes, during which time a significant amount of heat might be lost. Because of this, your coffee may be lukewarm rather than hot when it's finally ready. Warming up your cup or heat-resistant glass before you begin can help you to avoid this issue. Pour boiling water into your cup or glass and let it run down the drain.

Step 3

Fill your cup or tumbler to the brim with sweetened condensed milk. Based on your preference for sweetness, add anywhere from 1 to 3 tablespoons of condensed milk to your cup of joe. You may get a comparable sweetness to ordinary coffee by using only one tablespoon of the dark Robusta beans and one tablespoon of sugar.

Step 4

The temperature of your water should be between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit. If you're looking for the most accurate reading, you may use a kitchen thermometer.

Step 5

It's time to let the coffee grinds' carbon dioxide escape. The process of "blooming" coffee is critical to bringing out the full taste and fragrance of your brew. To begin the blooming process, add 2 teaspoons of hot water and wait 5 seconds.

Step 6

In this step, carefully and gradually pour all of the remaining water through the water filter. Cover the filter with its cap after it's all in. The coffee will trickle into the glass over the course of three to five minutes.

Step 7

Remove the coffee filter from the top of your cup or glass after the coffee has stopped dripping. Place it on top of the upturned lid to prevent spills on your counter.

Step 8 (optional)

Some Vietnamese cafes use toothpicks soaked in fish sauce to flavor their coffee.

Step 9 (optional)

The coffee and condensed milk are blended together, and then ice cubes are added.

Step 10 (optional)

A tropical fruit that tastes like custard (Banana+ Avocado) is what the Vietnamese like to mix into their coffee. There are so many variations.

How much caffeine in Vietnamese coffee? 

The quantity of caffeine in Arabica and Robusta coffees is vastly different. Robusta contains up to 200 mg of caffeine in a single 6oz cup of coffee. That's about twice as much as the original estimate. This is due to the drip brewing process and the warmer temperatures required for the bean production in Vietnamese coffee. The more the caffeine level, the darker the roast. An 8-ounce cup of Vietnamese coffee has more caffeine than a can of Red Bull or Monster, making it a fascinating fact. This seems a little harsh. To get the most out of that energy drink, you may want to think carefully before grabbing one.
