This was THE video I needed to dial in my Vietnamese coffee! My grind size has been off. The time metrics have given me that last bit of information to be where I want to be. BRAVO!!!

It’s in the 20’s here but I’m making this tomorrow. Chúc Mừng Năm Mới 🧧

I bloom the grounds without the gravity press with just a little bit of water just to get it started then once it settled down I put the gravity press on top of the settled coffee grounds then I pour the water slowly on the handle of the gravity press so it slowly and peacefully fills the whole chamber without making a mess keeping the coffee intact like a coffee puck. I don't like how your gravity screen kinda floats around the messy grounds, the purpose of it is too keep the grounds together for it to act as a self filter so less grounds will go down to your cup.

i thought that you're supposed to press the coffee with the gravity filter (after leveling it like how she did in the video), kinda like how you tamp an espresso puck. and then put the filter on top of it, so it would work both as tamp & puck screen. Edit: i just remember there's also phin filter where you can attach the gravity press to a screw at the bottom of the brew chamber!

@bokz4482

The grind with espresso is finer because you need a solid puck to create pressure (9bars of pressure), tamping a phin filter doesn't make sense because the grounds are course kind of like a pour over and with no pressure.

I picked up a phin recently, and I have brewed some fresh Arabica using it with good results. I was surprised watching your video when you demonstrated such an agressive bloom that the gravity press tipped over. However, I finally recieved some speciality Vietnamese robusta today, and sure enough that's what happened for me! Cool! And the coffee tasted great!

I bought a phin brewer from Angel In US the first time I went to VIetnam. I have a collection of 10-12 different brewers but the phin is one of my favourites. Super consistent, easy and relatively quick.

What an awesome video. I just ordered one of the stainless steel Vietnamese filter drip system. And I’m looking forward to using it. I’ve always wanted one since I visited Vietnam. And thank you also for the very good instructions 😘❤️

Thanks for sharing your coconut coffee recipe!! Will definitely try it out. Looks so good

Late response, but wouldn't it be better if our coffee culture gets diversified? I mean, it doesn't matter which method we use as long as we like it, and it's not like phin isn't still the overwhelmingly favourable brewing method here.

it does happened actually, especially when the coffee is fresh, meaning it has been freshly for a day or two, and is kept in air-tight container/bag. What happens is that fresh coffee still has lots of gas in it, so if it tilts a bit, it's completely okay

@jessewalker1138

It shouldn't tilt and 'fall over' like this. At the end of a brew there will be some coffee grounds above the gravity insert, but not like this. Yes, the coffee is fresh and gassy, but if that's the case then you need to pour slower and in smaller amounts like 20 mL at a time in small pours to let the coffee saturate and de-gas before you can add more. Otherwise when you add too much water at once it'll explode like this and sometimes let all the water rush through into the glass without properly brewing the coffee, ending up with a coffee that isn't tasty at all.

If SB's prices continue to rise, it will be synonymously easy to make coffee at less than a dollar a cup. Especially with how cold brew gadgets are on the rise on Amazon with many different styles to choose from. It's almost 5 bucks for a can of cheap coffee at almost 2 pounds. Which I have to emphasize that it barely matters what coffee you use since the brew style muddles all the subtleties of the blend.

I'm having the same issue with Cafe du Monde pre-ground. So, it's probably not something you're doing, but rather just that Cafe du Monde is too coarse. Still, the coffee that is extracted is really good. I think I'm going to try grinding it finer, too. And I'm also going to try with grinding good robusta beans to see which is best.

What's the point of having that press filter if it is going to float almost upside down? That press keeps the ground coffee compressed... I don't understand. And also is missing the fact that that press has to be screwed to the bottom pressing the G Coffee.

@uchuyle8172

That's actually not a very well brewed cup. If done right, the gravity press won't get tilted over and ruin the coffee bed (or cake since it kinda looks like a brownie). Screw press is generally less preferable due to the fact that it won't allow room for the coffee to bloom, thus giving you a generally over-extracted cup, or sometimes an acidic one where the CO2 can't escape. Hope that helps.

Well, you say the ground setting should be slightly finer than pour over coffee, Alternative Brewing channel goes for pretty coarse, and while James Hoffman is busy, I don't get it. I tried with sightly coarser than pour over, and the timing was correct (those 5 mins for the last drops), but the result was underextracted. Then I tried go finer, and it chokes the phin. Also, I would appreciate precise data for all the process. Thanks!

@Cpuour1

Corsed grind dont work well with phin so I would suggest you to keep the finer setting, pre-heat the phin with boiling water, and not tamping the coffee bed before blooming. The chamber is almost-cylinder shape, the phin's material is not good at maintaining heat, and the coffee bed will be more dense at the bottom than the top even with vigorous shaking. So, it's hard for water to seep evenly and deliver heat consistently from top to bottom for a unify bloom. Sometime, the dry bottom is the culprit that clogging your phin. As water goes down, it lost some heat and energy to effectively bloom the bottom part. One trick to combat this, is to put the chamber on the lid, bloom the coffee with a 1:2 ratio, immediately pour hot water into the lid so the bottom get some extra heat+water action and expand at same time at the top. Let it bloom for 30-45 sec. Put the chamber back onto the cup, and add the remaining water, discard the water on the lid. If the problem remain, use less ground coffee and adjust the water ratio accordingly, a thinner bed might mitigate flow restriction. Sometime the reason for choking is the CO2 at the bottom can't escape due to thick bedding, creating pressure, and restrict waterflow. I hope this help. If all of that doesn't work, then it worth to dial back the grind level now, and pour your water slower to prevent underextract. I can understand how there are almost no precise data on how to use Phin for maximum potential. It has a humble beginning and the main reason people gravitate toward it is the "low mainetance" aspect of the phin. It's hard to craft a superb cup of coffee out of Phin but also very hard to screw up. Flavor balances, texture..etc isn't that important if you just gonna smother the thing with condense milk and sugar. So most of the recipes is very "eyeballing", as being precise is not really the Phin's mission. Where, let say the V60, served the brewing control-freak crowd that obsess over thing like slurry viscosity maintainence or brew water, so it easier to find paper study on the v6p.

I do 1:2 ratio of coffee to water empty the cup and water I bloom with no filter then very lightly press the filter down add the water and usually I see it takes 15m to make the coffee and it comes out just right temperature to drink

The only problem I find with it is that it takes somewhat long to get most of the water through, usually end up having about 20% of the base with water when it refuses to drip anymore.. and by that time the coffee needs to be drunk quite fast otherwise it'll go cold. Any advice?

A coarser grind will allow the water to flow through the grounds easier. With each new cup you brew, make the grounds slightly more coarse than the last time until you get the desired brewing time. Careful not to go too coarse, or the water will flow through too fast, and the coffee will have weak strength. Try to find the sweet spot grind setting!

Your coffee ground is probably too fine. Choose a coarser setting. Hope this helps.

This was not a good brew unfortunate. The tipped filter is more serious than you think. If you examine the contraction, you probably can tell this is a pseudo espresso set up. The top filter is the shower head and the bottom is the normal filter basket. It also resembles the typical pour over, in that you bloom the coffee then carefully distribute the water as to let water through a bed of coffee evenly. The "phin" is trickier than you would think, during all phases. When you pack the coffee, you want can pack it using the top filter or as I will refer to it from now on, the shower screen. However, you can't pack it too tightly as you know, it will clog the filter. Unlike an espresso machine with huge pressure to force the water through the puck until it breaks and channel, a clogged "phin" is the end of that brew. That being said, if it's not packed well enough, you can see what can happen here. The bed expanded unevenly and expanded too much, leading to shower screen displacement. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but because the shower screen is displaced in this case affect the coffee bed, it means that it's up to the pourer to moisten the coffee bed evenly, even though the bed is disturbed at this point. This can lead to channelling or uneven extraction. In any case, the metalic contraption means that the brew temperature will be lower than you expected. The proper way to deal with this, of course, is to bloom with just the right amount of water and force. Not too much such that it bubbled up like it is here, nor too little that there's not enough gas escaped. Too little is still better in my opinion. Then, you can proceed to again, very carefully distribute the water on top, fill it up to your ratio desire. In my experience, which consists of almost 30 years of making "phin" coffee, I find the grind size should be around or above pour over, depending on your roast level and bean quality. Bad, old, cheap, dark beans should be a coarce of couse. Water should be as hot as possible and goose neck help out a lot. If I have some final advice, just use a pour over. This is just a pour over that loses temperature quickly and requires less skill. It is the legacy of the "drip" coffee popular in France, late 19th Century.

Can i get a heart for being early

Your face says its not good 😂😂😂

4:14 😏

So many things went WRONG here, I want Uncle Roger to react to this 🤐🤐. Full disclosure, I use a South Indian filter which works on the same principles. 1. 0:49 DO NOT FINE GRIND. It's going to pass though the filter and contaminate your brew. You can see that happening at 1:58 Go for medium to coarse, but never fine. I prefer medium 2. 1:20 ALWAYS STERILIZE. She put her fingers all over the phin and then just put the coffee into it 🤢🤢 . Always pour a little bit of hot water through the empty filter into the cup and throw that out. Maintains temperature and sterilizes it. 3. 2:20 DO NOT put the press in before blooming or you get a mess like at 2:39 . It's NOT supposed to look like a "wet brownie". No coffee should be coming out from above the filter. The coffee needs space to expand, let it breathe. 4. Also some people throw out the drip during blooming. It's completely up to you, I personally don't 5. 2:49 Your press should ideally be placed before the 2nd pour, so it NEVER tips over. 6. 3:03 NO NO NO. The press is supposed to be keeping the coffee together so that the water can percolate SLOWLY and actually brew with the heat. This is just coffee soup. The water will pass through too fast and not get all flavour 😱😱 7. When putting in the press, never push down. Let it settle on its own 8. Also, @bokz4482 mentioned pouring the water over the press handle so that it gently fills the phin and doesn't mess up the grounds. That's a great tip. 9. 3:19 The "time metrics" is completely redundant and immaterial. As long as you don't push down on the press, the drip will start right away and be done in 8-10mins. 4-5mins is too less time. If you want a good tutorial on phin coffee, I found this video m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/fqmC2dWnm5W1grQ.html&pp=ygURdmlldG5hbWVzZSBjb2ZmZWU%3D Enjoy!
