Recipe Tips

  • If the coffee press is dripping too slowly, you can loosen the screw. Alternatively, tighten the screw if it is dripping too fast. Not all presses use the screw method so this may not be possible.
  • As I mentioned above, if you’re unable to find a Vietnamese coffee press, then you can use an alternative method for brewing coffee. Just make sure it makes espresso strength coffee; otherwise, you might find this recipe won’t taste as good.
  • If you find your coffee is too sweet, then you can reduce the amount of condensed milk. The amount of coffee to sweetened condensed milk just comes down to preference.
  • Any brand of coffee will work just fine, but if you want to be as traditional as possible, I would recommend a Vietnamese dark roast coffee.
  • Sweetened condensed milk is sweet, thick, sticky, and delicious. Also an essential ingredient for our Vietnamese iced coffee recipe. You should be able to find it at your local supermarket or online at shops like Amazon.
