Vietnamese coffee is a unique and beloved style of coffee that stands out for its bold, rich, and intense flavors. Made primarily from robusta coffee beans grown in Vietnam, it delivers a strong, deep coffee experience that is unlike any other. What sets Vietnamese coffee apart is not only its choice of beans but also its traditional preparation methods and distinctive flavor profile.
What Makes Vietnamese Coffee Special?
-
Robusta Beans: The majority of Vietnamese coffee is made using robusta beans, known for their bitterness, low acidity, and high caffeine content—twice as much as the more commonly used arabica beans. This results in a coffee that is dark, intense, and full-bodied. Some Vietnamese coffee blends may include a mix of robusta and arabica, but the dominant robusta flavor is what gives Vietnamese coffee its characteristic strength and richness.
-
Sweetened Condensed Milk: One of the most iconic ways to enjoy Vietnamese coffee is by pairing it with sweetened condensed milk. This combination balances the coffee’s bitterness with a creamy, sugary sweetness, creating a drink that is both strong and indulgent. Served hot or cold, Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk (known as cà phê sữa nóng for hot or cà phê sữa đá for iced) is a popular choice among coffee lovers.
-
Traditional Preparation: Vietnamese coffee is often brewed using a phin filter, a small metal drip filter that sits on top of the cup. Hot water is poured over the ground coffee, and it slowly drips through, resulting in a thick, concentrated brew. This method allows for a full extraction of the coffee's flavors, highlighting the robusta beans' deep, earthy notes. The slow brewing process also adds to the coffee’s rich, almost syrupy texture.

The Taste of Vietnamese Coffee
In a word: delicious. Vietnamese coffee is known for its powerful flavor, a combination of dark, roasty coffee with a sweet, milky finish. The taste can be described as having notes of caramel, chocolate, and a hint of nuttiness. The robusta beans bring a pronounced coffee-forward flavor that is beautifully complemented by the creaminess of the condensed milk. The result is a drink that is not only refreshing and energizing but also comforting and satisfying.
Misconceptions About Vietnamese Coffee
It's a common misconception that Vietnamese coffee is simply regular coffee mixed with sweetened condensed milk. While this combination is a signature serving style, true Vietnamese coffee is defined by its use of Vietnamese-grown robusta beans. The unique qualities of these beans, along with the traditional brewing methods, create a flavor profile that is distinctively Vietnamese.
For those seeking an authentic experience, using Vietnamese-grown beans is key. Our Blend No. 72, with its carefully selected robusta beans, offers that authenticity. The robusta beans cultivated in Vietnam's rich soil contribute to the bold taste that Vietnamese coffee enthusiasts adore.
