Caffeine estimate
Not enough evidence to estimate.
Not known — No measurement of caffeine in phin-brewed coffee has been read, and CoffeeHQ's caffeine estimator has no range for it, so no figure is given. Coffee for this drink is often robusta, which holds more caffeine than arabica.
Brewing method
Made using Vietnamese phin brewing. Grind: Medium-fine to medium-coarse, depending on the phin.
Descriptive grind labels like this are illustrative starting points, not precise measurements — the same label can mean different particle sizes on different grinders. See the grind size guide for how to dial this in on your own equipment.
Steps
- Add condensed milk to a glass.
- Set the phin filter on top and slowly drip-brew coffee directly over the milk.
- Stir to combine, then pour over ice.
