Vietnamese coffee combines the ritual and pleasure of coffee with the street café, waiting for your phin to drip through and the world to pass you by. Introduced to Vietnam by the French and having its distinct style and when combined with Longevity milk it is a chocolaty, nutty caffeine hit.

Vietnam produces a wide range of coffee styles and qualities each with their own style and aficionados. From our bargain Saigon Phin Daklak to Trung Nguyen’s Legend all styles benefit from the right water.   

With coffee there is a growing trend now to replace a beer at the pub with a coffee at the café. We use it to carry us through the day as a heart starter in the morning, a commuter cup, the morning coffee break, a compliment to a great dinner  or a fix to keep us going for an all nighter.

Vietnamese coffee has been a great bridge builder between Vietnam and Australia with many Aussies having their first Vietnamese coffee whilst on holidays and then continuing their newly acquired delight on their return to Australia with the help of Viet-coffee

Perfect coffee?

Espresso, americano, cappuccino, Cà phê nóng (hot black coffee) or with sua (milk) , or Cà phê sữa da (iced coffee with condensed milk), or  western style iced coffee  – sipped from a mug, French-style bowl or to-go cup.

Coffee legends

The origins of coffee is buried in legends.

One tells of a shepherd boy whose goats frolicked around after consuming berries.

Another speaks of monks who, after trying the cherries, threw them into the fire because they were too bitter. Intrigued by the aromatic scent wafting from what had been thrown into the fire, they made an infusion with the roasted beans and drank it. From that day on they were never tired again at early morning prayer.

A new life for your coffee maker and kitchen appliances

Smart baristas understand the benefits of filtered water. In addition to making great tasting coffee for customers, a good filter will reduce limescale build-up in coffee makers and automatic coffee machines. Reducing machine repair and maintenance costs and increasing longevity. With commercial coffee machines being so expensive you will often find an inline filter on a commercial machine
