Mr. Phong's Private Reserve Premium Vietnamese Coffee, Ground

I actually bought this product regardless of it being civet coffee or not - it still tastes like good, authentic Vietnamese coffee and to me, that's all that matters. I bought back several bags of different grades from Vietnam, and tasted a lot of varieties from different regions in my month there.In Vietnam, from coffee shops, you pay for different grades of coffee from different regions - the civet coffee being the most expensive. I took back some Moka beans, which verged on expensive, and some DaLat beans, which were about average. The Moka was notably more pleasant, and less bitter. I was curious to see if this coffee advertised would taste suspiciously like the DaLat beans but they sat somewhere between, if not on a par with the decent Moka beans.All in all, I'd buy again 100%, as I cannot think of where else you can get better tasting coffee for the money in the UK. It's a shame that you can only get the 8 pound beans if you buy something else from Amazon, or whatever the deal is, sadly 10 pounds a bag is too expensive to justify every day use for a student!Regardless, these beans are about 5 times better than the best varieties found in Whittards for even more money. And because of that it gets 5 stars, I just need to save up to go back to that wonderful country!

Excellent service. This was bought as a present.I brought some Mr Phong coffee myself and loved the unique taste of this fabulous coffee so thought it would make a wonderful coffee lovers present.

The coffee is OK but expensive in comparison to similar products available in the UK. It has to be shipped from the US and my order went astray in Los Angeles for a while. Overall not a very positive experience and I wouldn't buy it again.

This coffee is awesome - makes truly amazing ca phe sua da!

Just like you get in Vietnam. If you like coffee and have never tasted Vietnamese coffee I would urge you to give this a go. It's like nothing you've ever tasted before. It has a sweet vanilla like flavour and is my personal favourite which I keep for special occasions. The only complaint is the price. It's not cheap but it's not cheap in Vietnam either.

The pack is soft to the touch so it's not vacuum packed and there is no sell-by nor use-by date on the pack. That in itself is not very good.I brewed it in a No.7 4-part Vietnamese Phin filter with 1 rounded tablespoon of coffee lightly tamped and 1 tablespoon of Longevity condensed milk in the cup.The finished coffee was slightly darker in the cup than the Buon Ma Thuot coffee I'm used to. The description says there is a small amount of authentic Weasel coffee in it by which they mean Kopi Luwak or as it has come to be known "Civet coffee". This is not apparent in the taste which is about the same as the Vietnamese coffee I usually use which is £2.80p cheaper. There is however a more sour aftertaste than I'm used to. This may be due to the coffee grind being too fine for a Phin filter which could have resulted in the coffee being over-brewed.The Vietnamese have a special way of slowly roasting Robusta coffee beans in butter with a small amount of cocoa and sugar. This creates a hard shell on the beans and during roasting protects the beans which reduces the sour Robusta taste. Of course the cocoa and sugar stays in the coffee when it is ground and results in Mocha rather than straight coffee. This coffee is no exception to that and the taste is that of Mocha.Overall, this coffee doesn't deserve more than one star because it is a poor example of Vietnamese coffee! There is a lot better authentic Vietnamese coffee to be had. Right now it's in the bin!

Items are absolutely as described and were promptly delivered. Served with condensed milk, these coffees have brought a taste of Vietnam to Scotland.

this is my favourite weasel coffee it has more of a stronger taste and I truly love it the best by far

This coffee is really good. It tastes great and there is very little acid. It has an excellent aroma and has a nice full bodied taste. My daughter brought some of this coffee back from Thailand and it was so good I found it on Amazon and ordered it. The coffee was shipped quickly and the quality was just as good (and as fresh) as what was purchased in Thailand. I recommend this to anyone that enjoys a delicious cup of coffee.

Was unable to find the Trung Nguyen brand so gave Mr. Phong a shot! Delicious! Exactly like the one you would get at restaurants. Beware as you actually need a lot more coffee than the Trung Nguyen brand. I usually use 6 tea spoon of this brand when I would use 3 or 4 tea spoon with Ntrung. So it gets quite expensive and you can’t really prepare more than 10 coffees total. That’s the biggest downside with this brand.

Sabor tostado, dentro del wasel un muy buen toque para el paladar

amateur de café, j'achète très régulièrement des cafés de différentes régions du monde en privilégiant les arabicas. Mais j'ai tout de même décidé d'acheter ce café qui est un mélange arabica et robusta.Satisfaction totale, un café au parfum vraiment particulier et délicieux.

Great depth of flavour, absolutely perfect for a Friday morning treat with sweetened condensed milk!
