Question 1

How is this different from a Pour Over coffee maker?

Accepted Answer

A phin is NOT a pour over. The weighted filter on top prevents the ground coffee from floating upward, especially the crema. The water gradually seeps through, carrying the flavor and oils downward, so you get full extraction of the flavor. It should take five minutes for the water seep through, enough time to saturate and extract the ground coffee. Do not put a lot of water through. Make a concentrate and add water afterwards. Once you add the water, set a timer for four or five minutes and come back for your coffee. The phin is a French invention, as Vietnam was a French colony when the coffee culture was introduced. They grow some excellent coffee beans.

Question 2

does using bustelo espresso grind work well with this type filter

Accepted Answer

Hello, I apologize for the late reply- I only just saw this question.  I have not personally uses bustelo espresso but the filter works best with a medium to coarse grind.  Kind regards, Fitzy Shop.

Question 3

I was wondering what is the standard size of the Vietnamese coffee makers sold at Asian super markets?  Not sure which size of this product to order.

Accepted Answer

Apparently standard size is 8 oz, which I ordered. I got two. I may have gotten the larger size if I had realized, though. It's very caffeinated, however, so just as well.

Question 4

Does the black rubber handles on the side leak black color when rubbed on/soak? i merely held it for a little and my fingers were black stained. bad

Accepted Answer

I have never had this happen. Mine are small press on black covers that allow you to move it without being burned when it is full of hot water. Mine seem like normal plastic with no stains or leakage.
