Product DescriptionPreparing delicious Vietnamese coffee is quick, easy and doesn’t require much clean-up afterward. The coffee filter is stainless steel and there are three parts (filter, screw-on damper, and lid). Simply place the filter on top of a cup, so it looks like a hat. Add 2-3 teaspoons of coffee to the filter, then screw on the damper so it’s snug (not tight). Shake the filter a bit to settle the coffee. Fill up the cup about 1/3 with hot water then wait 20 seconds. Unscre. . . More >>

The coffee maker makes excellent coffee–just as I remember it from our recent trip. But it is hard to turn the filter to loosen it once there is hot water in the container. I use a rubber grip-it pad, that I use for lids that are stuck.

I use this every day. I like that the material is stainless steel – very durable, and it removes any concern about aluminum accumulation.

It makes great coffee, but using this filter can burn you.
The directions tell you to pour hot water in the top, then reach in with your fingers and unscrew the (now) boiling hot metal plate. Other models have a slot so you can use a screwdriver. The best don’t use screws at all. Try finding one of them before you buy this one.

The Vietnamese styled coffee filter is really a nice bit of kit. It makes the often mundane act of drinking coffee into a ritual.
While its origins are south-east Asian, its has a cosmopolitan use that is quite underrated. If you’re like me and have several different blends of coffee in your home to choose from, its nice to offer guests their choice of coffee without having to make several pots to do so.
You can alter the strength of the coffee by how tightly you compress the top filter in this apparatus. Thus enabling a “Lungo” or “ristretto” type of taste as you would find with espresso machines. This is however, not technically an espresso maker as espresso is made by forcing water through the ground coffee beans, while this apparatus uses gravity to distill the coffee.
Many people who first experience these will be in specialty Vietnamese restaurants, offered as a traditional “Cà phê sua dá” (translated “Coffee milk ice”), but you should be able to find this nice little filter at many oriental specialty shops for anywhere between $3-$4. Don’t worry about manufacturer, as I have seen several, and there seems to be absolutely no difference in quality. So don’t pay a high price for this item.
Often, the best things are the simplest, and it doesn’t get any simpler than this. It should last you decades of use.
