Well I just filled the vessel with ice cream . It is pretty hot right now so the ice melted before the phin ran its course . There is no condensed sweetened milk .
Usually, it's a robusta from Vietnam that's been brewed using a phin, the dripper featured in the original picture. It's often sweetened with a healthy dose of condensed milk to take some of the edge off of mass-produced and heavily roasted robusta.
sorry to deceive. I am just living living, I'm not from here. That said, I support the home team and buy pretty much only Vietnamese grown and roasted specialty coffee. Typica and bourbon beans are what I usually buy. If you are in Saigon, do you know Every Half coffee roaster, those guys are good. Since I live in Hanoi I frequent a couple of Hanoi roasters.
Right on. I've been living here for 10 years but been coming here since 2007. Been a fan of the coffee from day 1. The domestic coffee culture for specialty coffee has really grown a lot in the last decade.

What beans are you using?
Decaff beans from a local roaster.
Sadly the only information about them is that they are processed with the sugar cane process. The name given by the roaster is "igarapé".
I am pretty much beginning the speciality journey right now. I am still learning what I like 😜
I think the bottom layer is condensed milk? What’s that top layer you got there? Some kinda whipped cream? I love Vietnamese coffee by the way!

What makes it a Vietnamese iced coffee?

Usually the Vietnamese lady in the bikini that serves it :>
I wouldn't have known it was Vietnamese coffee otherwise tbh.
Never seen a Vietnamese lady in bikini serving ca phe sua da here in Hanoi.
And to think I was the only viet person on Lemmy

Nah I'm a viet guy not living in vietnam. I'm sure you'll have solid coffee around there though.

It's more of an American phenomenon. Sex sells baby!

That is not unique to Vietnamese coffee in the States. Bikini coffee places have been a thing in the States for 20 years or more.
