Vietnamese Coffee Filter Phin 330ml Large, Gravity Insert, One Cup

Versand doppelt so schnell als angekündigt. Verarbeitung und Qualität sehr gut. Funktioniert einwandfrei!

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.

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!).

fit for purpose, easy to use, instructions are useful

It definitely needs some experimentation to learn how to properly use it, but once you dial in your grind size and techniques/steps, it makes a good cup of coffee. Super easy to clean, and well made. I'd dock half a star for the sticker that is really annoying to remove. I had to use a bread clip to scrape at it, and then wipe it with 99% IPA to remove the glue residue. Otherwise, its great !
