    Stop complaining about how she pronounce her last name, she's bending it so it's easier for others to pronounce and follow. You don't know how many times I have pronounced my name the right way and people just stare back at me asking me to repeat it for 5 more times.

    I just received your beans last night and made my first brew. I followed your instructions on your website, which are slightly different than your video. It was delicious! I had it over ice, but tomorrow I will have a hot cup. The process is not complicated at all, and your beans are heavenly.

    Some of the people in these comments complaining about sharing cups or that it is isn’t quick to drink.
    People in Vietnam drink this kind of coffee while they are chilling and talking to their friends or while they are playing mahjong or a similar game. It’s not meant to be a drink you drink quickly. Life is a lot slower in Vietnam anyway.
    Sharing the same cup? Well, welcome to Asia.

      Vietnamese coffee stores do sell le café du monde but the actual coffee drinks they serve have different recipes. They mix 2 cans of café du monde with 1 box of Trung Nguyen coffee, then they store the mixture in a large jar to brew. The real signature Viet coffee must be a mixture of robusta, arabica, culi, moka beans with a little bit cacao powder, some people may add salt or butter powder too. Luxury Viet coffee may contain luwak or bourbon coffee beans

      French roast Starbucks brand is the best for Viet coffee but I make that my second best! The number 1 winner is Gavina French roast. From my experience working in a pho restaurant I know how to brew it and which coffee pairs best with ca phe sua da. But to me it seems like she add too little of the coffee grounds just use 2 large scoops with the soup spoon and you’ll be good to go! That’s what I remembered my former boss was using for the coffee.

  • @brentroman
    @brentroman 4 ปีที่แล้ว +51

    Hey y'all. Just a bit of info here (as there seems to be some confusion/misunderstanding). Her company has a variety of beans/roasts that are offered. They are all sourced directly from Vietnam. You can get 100% arabica, 100% robusta, and a 50/50 split. That being said, I do not know which version she decided to brew with here. I think also her point is to brew with a Vietnamese brewing device with Vietnamese beans but in a method that confirms to Specialty Coffee standards and practices (i.e. SCA temp, blooming, grinding fresh, ratios, not over roasting the beans, etc). Its a specialty coffee take on Vietnamese coffee, using Vietnam sourced beans. I see nothing wrong here.

    • @Sonicxis4ever
      @Sonicxis4ever 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think people are complaining because there’re expecting cold brew or brewed coffee Instead of the way she prepared it (which is similar to a moka pot {more concentrated/full bodied coffee}) but I see nothing wrong! The problem is in America we only regard cold brew as iced coffee but in the rest of the world iced coffee can be any coffee drink that’s cold (iced latte, iced americano)

    The tip is press the coffee really firm with that filter, after that pour about half of an inch of boiled water then just carefully press that filter down. Pour the water up to the top then just wait and enjoy the coffee.

    • @MK-lc9fp
      @MK-lc9fp 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The filter help the water to flow more slowly and consistently so that we can obtain all the flavor and prevent wasting coffee.

    • @themodularmodular
      @themodularmodular 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Tried both, I much preferred the screw filter one. I found that setting up the grind adjustment, then compressing it with the twist filter quite firmly made a better and consistent cup. Plus it's not as messy when cleaning up.

    • @bobbiusshadow6985

      You have to get the Robusta variety, not the usual Arabica that we get in western societies. Like the ones used for espressos.. ps: Robusta has almost twice the caffeine per weight than Arabica, and most importantly, it has a different flavor profile.

    • @MinhNguyen-ff6xf
      @MinhNguyen-ff6xf 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Let’s mix different coffee beans like this recipe: 7 robusta and 3 arabica, then add a little bit moka and culi. Cacao powder can be added to have extra fragrance and bitterness. Then roast the beans with extra heat. I believe the mixture is considered the real Viet coffee

  • @enigma___

    I have to admit, I don't like my coffee strong, but I had this at a vietnamese restaurant and instantly fell in love. I bought some pre-assembled boxes with coffee, filters, and condensed milk packets. They were made by a female owned company out of California. I can't wait to try it. Bought a box for my sister. I think she is going to really like it. What you have going on here is very time consuming, but it makes you appreciate the flavor and experience all that much more. Makes me want to leave work to make some. Yum!

  • @PalJoey-rm2yh
    @PalJoey-rm2yh 5 ปีที่แล้ว +109

    You should probably address the difference between the Robusta beans used in Vietnam and other parts of Asia (and used by commercial manufacturers throughout the rest of the world to 'dilute' the more expensive Arabica beans used in premium coffees - no disparagement intended.) Just for starters, Robusta has about twice as much caffeine, but is also more bitter. Therefore the sweet condensed milk. Between the added caffeine and the sugar, there should be a significant difference in the "jump factor" in the drink. I assume your company is selling the Robusta?

      Looking at their website seems like a mix of both. However it was unfortunate to see the roast so light. Traditionally speaking Vietnamese coffee wouldn’t have been roasted slow with low heat(the total opposite to third wave roasting processes),with a mix of types of butter to create something similar to a French roast with a vibrant shine.
      You’ll never replicate the flavour otherwise. But a good start. Hopefully they create the real deal one day.

  • @Hypocriticaltown
    @Hypocriticaltown 4 ปีที่แล้ว +47

    For the people saying she’s using arabica beans, it’s unlikely that she is since arabica is a regularly used kind of beans in most Western countries, so why would she bother to go to Vietnam to source the robusta beans, which are predominantly used in Vietnamese coffee? She also mentioned the difference between Western coffee and Vietnamese coffee, especially the difference in the taste of the coffee itself, let alone the preparation process, so it’s very likely that she knows where the difference comes from, it’s the beans.
    The comments about the way she pronounces her last name shows how petty some people are. She might have been born in the States and hence may speak broken Vietnamese, which is normal for any second-generation immigrant. Never expected to see mean and petty comments under a coffee making video but I guess anything goes.

      I'm pretty sure she knows how to say her last name properly. But living in the US and trying again and again to tell Americans how to pronounce the nasally part of ng, I just gave up decades ago and tell them to say, "New-en". That's much better than the butchering of my name before because Americans can say "New-en". LOL

    I discovered cafe si da (not sure how to write it) when I worked in Chinatown and my Vietnamese co-worker recommended it. (And we had a Vietnamese restaurant across the street). It was a boiling hot day and I became an instant addict. However, I discovered that I had to have it first thing in the morning because caffeine-wise it was like rocket fuel and would keep me up at night if I didn't allow many hours between the drink and bedtime. My only objection to this video is that the glass is too small. The restaurant where I first had it served it in large take-out cups. Anyway, it's one of my happiest cold drink discoveries.

    This is the most common basic error in using the phin.
    You need to press the filter press down hard and make the coffee evenly spread.
    The water need to sip through the coffee slowly to properly extract the flavours of the coffee.
    Adjust the concentration of the coffee by adjusting coffee/water ratio, not the brewing time.

    Guys are going off on her due to her inability to say her last name, and actually trying to bring some culture into America. I mean guys, she can have her own opinion on how to make that certain drink. People can make one thing many ways. Culture diffuses around in different areas around, after making that certain thing for a while, they can form a opinion and try the method they like the most. (And switching it up some.) I mean guys please stop being immature. She’s trying. No hate to y’all. I just want to bring it out.

    All the haters need to cut the girl some slack. She's introducing Vietnamese coffee in NYC. That's a daunting task in itself where coffeeshops are everywhere. We all know this isn't the traditional rustic way it is prepared back in Vietnam but she's trying to elevate the drink by trying to get the perfect ratio of ingredients where one doesn't overpower the other. It's probably not possible but I appreciate the attempt because I myself am curious how to prepare Vietnamese coffee barista style. If I wanted to make it more unique I would've made my own condensed milk in-store rather than buying the ones in cans with so many additives. And as a person who's sensitive to sugary drinks, I always separate the condensed milk and pour to my taste rather than everything in the cup. It's not traditional I guess but for me, it works and my blood sugar level doesn't shoot through the roof. I guess we should be supportive of everyone rather than shooting their ideas down just because they pronounced the name wrong. :-/

      Vietnamese coffee isn’t, actually. but she’s catering to the hipster coffee culture that’s primarily European based and also very snobby about the correct ratio & weight of ingredients and “not masking” the coffee beans. In reality most viet people making it are doing it very imprecisely and based on their own preferences. I’m Vietnamese American and have worked in multiple coffee shops btw. Also I love cafe sua da (:

  • @Sonicxis4ever
    @Sonicxis4ever 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The reason Vietnamese coffee has a reputation of being too sweet is because in the states we use cold brew which is higher volume of coffee (there’s more water) so there’s probably more condensed milk added. The way she prepared the coffee was similar to a shot of espresso or what you would get if you used a moka pot (stove top espresso) so I think she wanted to keep the proportions of milk and coffee balanced 👌

    So many self righteous haters in the comments.
    1) She may be mispronouncing Nguyen, but there is only one way to pronounce it correctly and it is HARDLY "win" as so many of yall are claiming. In actuality we're all just westernizing the name in our own ways. If you followed her IG you'd know her Vietnamese is pretty stellar.
    2) There's nothing wrong with the way she's brewing here. If the coffee grind is fine it'll drip super slow and won't need the compressor. She's measuring to a science because this is for folks who've never made their own ca phe sua da but sure you can free hand it to your own taste.
    3) Vietnamese Coffee is commonly brewed with Robusta because it's easy to grow and makes up 97% of coffee production in Vietnam, but that does not mean that Arabica is un-Vietnamese or even non-native to the country.
    4) That being said Robusta has long been viewed as the lesser bean even though Vietnam is the second largest exporter of coffee in the world, because all the exports have been in the form of instant coffee. What she's trying to do is change the world view of Vietnamese Coffee as a lot of new age Vietnamese Coffee farmers are trying to do. She sources BOTH beans from a small honest farmer in the Central Highlands and roasts the beans in NY and lemme tell you it's good shit.
    5) No your Cafe du Monde is not legit/traditional Viet coffee (chicory? Not viet), and a number of roasters in Vietnam are actually roasting it with shit like fragrance, soy bean, and corn kernels or are just roasting cheap beans overall. Be able to distinguish what goes in your mouth before you criticize someone who's not only done their homework but has launched a business.

    Just like watching a typical American Vietnamese kid making Vietnamese(or iced) coffee... lol That phin doesn't have a press at all. Usually, there is a screw inside to tighten down on the coffee depending on how strong you want your coffee. Also, you're not supposed to pour the coffee over those gigantic ice cubes. You want to use crushed(not shaved) or very small type ice cubes. Those gigantic cubes would take forever to chill the coffee and to melt into the coffee. You can use those cubes for whiskey... maybe.
