Set of 3 Vietnamese Traditional Coffee Phin Filter, Hot or iced. 6 Ounce

These stainless steel phins by Thang Long are excellent. I ordered a pair for myself and gifted others to two separate people. Many Vietnamese use aluminum phins, but the problem with aluminum is that it can leach into one's hot drink and cause dementia and other illnesses later on.. This does not happen with top quality stainless steel. I ordered the 8oz size, which is the "medium" size that is considered "standard" in Vietnam. The 6oz. size is too small in size and this here size feels a bit too small for me, but it is the standard size, and larger sizes apparently have a design flaw where the push down gravity insert does not fit snuggly within the filter pot portion of the 4-piece phin assembly. Coffee grounds did not fall into the cup and the heat level was fine. Recommend you pre-heat phin before using with 205 degree water, then discard the water in the glass cup (cool off that water first in some container; you don't want to hurt your pipes pouring 205 degree water in the pipes). Also, if the grounds are too coarse, the water will pour through the coffee in less than a minute. If the coarse setting is too fine, it will take forever for the water to pour through the coffee. You want about medium coarse so that it takes 4-5 minutes for the water to drip through the coffee grounds on top of the sweetened condensed milk that is traditionally sitting at the bottom of the transparent glass cup that you should use when making Vietnamese coffee so you can enjoy the drip. This phin comes with instructions on how to use. To discard the used coffee grounds (do not though into sink or toilet or you will clog the pipes and have to spend hundreds in a plumber) lay a sheet of bounty on a flat surface and with another half-piece or quarter-piece of dry bounty, slide the used coffee grounds from all of the phin parts that have coffee, then discard them inside the garbage (again, never down a sink or toilet, NEVER!).

These are the perfect filters for making Vietnamese coffee. The stickers were tough to get off, but I managed with rubbing alcohol. I use them all the time

Great quality dripper to make Vietnamese coffee. I bought the biggest size because I like making larger amounts. I’ve been trying to find a good non toxic one since the ones at Asian stores contain lead so this one was perfect! The only issue I have is that the rubber piece fell off on one side since it isn’t secured down good. It’s very easy to clean and fits over my big sized coffee cups.

Since finding out that French Press coffee (and any coffee that doesn't pass through paper filter) can lead to higher levels of cholesterol and LDL, I was looking to find a better way to brew. THIS IS THE SOLUTION!! No machines with their plastic tubing and no weak\warm coffee from pour overs. These phins allow me to make coffee with bolder flavor than a french press AND allow me to use a paper filter too reduce the cholesterol. See tips at bottom on what I learned from using them (makes a HUGE difference). Quick seller feedback first: Fitzy Shop went above and beyond. The product is fullfilled by Amazon, which they felt shipping in a yellow envelope was sufficient...it was not. Obviously with 3 phins jammed in an enveloped that barely fit them, one of them was dented. I contacted the seller and they immediately shipped me a replacement and was very sincere in their reply of making sure I'm a satisfied customer. 5 star seller for sure! TIPS for BREWING: 1.) Basic physics lesson I learned (maybe it's physics, I'm not sure). So imagine when you hold the top of a straw filled with water and lift out of the cup. The water stays in the straw. I think there's a similar concept at play when brewing. If you looked at people's pics they've shared you've seen a couple where the coffee doesn't go through the filter but overflows. NOT THE PHINS FAULT! What I've found is if the cups mouth is not wide enough, the air in the cup can't be displaced and coffee overflows. If you see this happen, simply tilt the bottom filter plate so it's not fully contacting the cup. You'll see the coffee then flows through. Lesson here, use a cup wide enough esp if you're getting the 15oz phins like I did. 2.) The 15oz phins can use a 2-4cup basket filter (sometimes called junior filter). DON'T put the filter into the phin and then put coffee in lest you want to press the whole paper filter down. What I do is put the coffee in the paper filter first and then place on top of the phin (see pictures). Then uses the inner press to push the coffee down, thereby causing the paper filter to wrap around it. 3.) Pre-wetting the coffee and pressing again makes a world of difference. Put in about 2oz of hot water in first and give it a min. Then press the coffee again (I actually don't press the stem bc it's not even, I press directly on the disc part). After that you can use the rest of the hot water. BONUS TIP: Remember tip 1? The size of the cup makes a big difference in brew. Narrow mouth makes the water slower to go through, thereby a fuller flavor. Wider mouth allows water to go faster, weaker flavor. Too narrow, it overflows. It's all about trial and error here. 4.) If you use a paper filter, I find the grind that works best is just a bit coarser than for a drip. I use a Starbuck burr grinder and it's 2 notches coarser than drip. Works great. At that grind, I use 2 heaping tablespoons for the phin. If I'm making a Viet coffee with condensed milk (hot or cold) I'll double it. Hopefully these tips help others that have bought this or looking to buy these. I love mine!

Excelente calidad... se hace una extracción de café exquisita, para gustos del café intenso...

I've been using a phin for years now and imo it is the best coffee maker you can have. Economical, zero consumables, easily cleaned. The one drawback is that they are typically quite small. This product ticks all the boxes. It is well made and a generous size. If you are new to using a phin, be aware that it takes longer than other methods. Being around 400ml capacity, you will be waiting between 6 and 10 minutes depending on how fine your grind is. If you want your coffee hot you will need a large, thick mug, or an insulated mug. I was especially impressed that the spreader is not fixed, allowing you to use either a tall narrow cup or a larger diameter one. Comes with clear instructions, but you don't need to make your coffee Vietnamese style with condensed milk.

After using this for my morning ritual over the last month, I’ve found it to be a great way to achieve a bold cofffee without an expensive machine. The capacity is a perfect medium size, providing a generous single serving that holds up well to the addition of ice and condensed milk. What I like Gravity Insert: Unlike screw-down versions that can be finicky, this gravity insert is much easier to use. Just put it on top of the grounds, and it provides the perfect amount of pressure for a steady drip. Durable: The stainless steel construction feels substantial and high-quality. It has handled daily use and frequent trips through the dishwasher without any signs of tarnishing or rust. Zero Waste: I love that it requires no paper filters, which saves some money but really gives the coffee richness. Compact: Just four lightweight pieces that stack together, making it great where space is limited. What I don't like Sediment Levels: Because the metal mesh is permanent, you will occasionally find a small amount of fine sediment at the bottom of your cup, especially if your coffee is ground too fine. Patience Required: This is not a fast brewing method. It takes about 5 to 7 minutes, so it may not be the best choice if you are in a major rush during their morning commute.

Extrae el 100% del sabor del café. Si usas un buen café de grano, lo mueles a tu gusto y lo disfrutarás plenamente. El estilo vietnamita es agregar leche condensada, en mi caso siento que malogras el sabor de un buen grano, pero es cuestión de gustos
