TNI King Coffee GOLD PHIN FILTER for Vietnamese Coffee, Dripping Coffee Phin Filter Small Size 50 to 100ml

I love coffee and all things coffee . This little aluminum coffee maker is light weight as it gets . Wish it was a bit stronger like the aluminum Moka pots …and it makes only 80 ml at the most. But the functionality of this little filter is amazing. It makes a strong concentrate in less than 4 minutes and when paired with hot milk or by itself tastes so unique. The central plate inside the brew chamber is not a screw type but a gravity type. You control the brew strength by controlling the grind size. The inner water spreader Kinda nests on a little latch inside so that coffee is not compressed as it brews. Only caveat is the ultra light weight and I am worried about it getting dented but the coffee it makes is superb and on par with other world class brewers. Get one , slow down a bit and start smelling the coffee ….and enjoy the present moment ….You will be amazed as you start discovering the magic in the moment …

Makes and perfect cup of coffee. Also looks fancy 😀

It looks pretty but I have no idea why sending it in packaging that looks like someone's already had a go at it with a box cutter is acceptable. Slight signs of damage like rust(?) on the bottom of the filter that took off some of the gold coloring when I tried scratching it off and other light scratches but it doesn't look obviously used at least. I just don't get why the packaging was sent like this I couldn't even find the missing shard of plastic in the amazon package so it was like this before it was shipped.

My first time using a phin. I like the way this looks, though the metal is thin and feels flimsy. I do think it will hold up over time, I tend to have a delicate touch. It gets hot when brewing, be prepared to handle with cloths or gloves. Produces a small amount of coffee, so use what it's intended for: high caffeine Robusto grounds. Mix with sweetened condensed milk and it's a nice treat. I prefer Cafe au lait, equal parts coffee and scalded whole milk in addition to the condensed milk which is delicious. Add a cinnamon stick for taste and to stir. I made some vietnamese egg coffee as well and it was very good, I'm hooked. Again, it's a small serving so I will use it once in a while, but for the price it is worth it.

Item works well. The sieve holes are just the right size to obtain the desired rich flavor that is the signature of the traditional "cái nồi ngồi trên cái cốc" VN'se coffee. There was a slight delay in delivery, but not Amazon's fault. Do not machine wash this phin, as the finish can get oxidized.

Ok.

Color will degrade

So pretty, great gift or for entertaining. My only advice is that there is no handle so it's very HOT to remove.
