Nothing wakes me up better than a big mug of steaming black coffee. Lactose intolerance has bid goodbye to the otherwise South Indian decoction or filter coffee obsession. Since I never liked sugar in my coffee or ‘kaapi’, I now enjoy the full-bodied flavours of a good roast in its truest sense.
So, when the Vietnamese Phin trend caught on, I was hooked. There were videos after videos on social media of people enjoying this exotic brew, hot or cold, with a dinky little drip device or ‘phin’ doing the task. Fascinated, I decided to take a little detour from my normal dark roast medium ground French Press drink to Vietnam’s trending export.
A great cup of coffee…
