This Month’s Recipes
Vietnamese Coffee Style Coconut Frappe
Vietnamese coffee uses finely ground coffee filtered through a phin filter for a denser, robust coffee with a heavier mouth feel, combined with sweet condensed milk and flavor. Brewing in this style results in a consistency comparable to Turkish coffee.
Vietnamese coffee traditionally uses robusta coffee beans, so we recommend our robusta blend Jump Start, with a fine grind.
Equipment
An 8-10 oz. Vietnamese-style phin filter, or you can substitute with a cezve or any metal filter with finely-ground coffee.
A high-powered blender.
Any metal filter. (If you don’t have a Vietnamese-style phin filter, you can substitute a cezve filter, or any other metal filter with finely-ground coffee to achieve a heavier consistency).

Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoons of coconut condensed milk (for flavor)
