slow drip, strong life
Wait for the drip
Thick highland robusta over ice and condensed milk, dripped one slow phin at a time on a Hanoi rooftop.
The ritual
The phin takes its time
Four minutes from grounds to glass. Scroll, and let it drip.
Pack the phin
Coarse-ground robusta, pressed lightly under the gravity plate. No pumps, no paper.
The slow drip
Hot water sits on the grounds and falls drop by drop onto a finger of condensed milk.
Stir & swirl
Coffee and sweet milk swirl into caramel brown. Pour it over ice. Done.
cà phê + sữa đặc, one drop at a time
The beans
Highland robusta, roasted dark
Cà Phê Sữa Đá is built around the slow phin drip: thick robusta over ice, condensed milk stirred in at the last second, and egg coffee whipped to order upstairs.
Our beans come down from highland farms around Buon Ma Thuot, roasted dark and ground coarse so the phin can take its time. Wait for the drip. It is worth it.
