A cool way of making coffee.
I read some of the negatives, some were just stupid like one said it was too expensive, $18? next, please. Another said lead solder was used, nope, they had to spot weld the handle to the cup, it is perfectly normal and find to see where the spot welder left a heat mark behind. Another said it took too long to filter with no indication how long was too long for them; it's supposed to take between 5 to 6 minutes to filter, slower than that means the grinds were too fine, faster than that, and grinds are too coarse, but for the best flavor the filter time should take between 5 to 6 minutes, please read the instructions before criticizing any product.I like these little coffee makers, they're cheap and fun, I have a Turkish Cezve, a Bialetti Brikka Moka Pot, a Hario Switch V60 immersion, Kialetta Wave, a small French Press, an AeroPress, and now this Phin, they all make coffee that taste differently.The Phin, like the others I have, is very easy to use, I won't go into details since YouTube has a lot of videos on how to make Vietnamese coffee using the Phin, please refer to those videos FIRST before trying to use one.I looked at several of these makers and decided to go with the Nguyen because it is the original Phin maker, so I wanted something that was the original maker. It looks better than others I saw and is made of thin stainless steel, while you can't throw it across the room and expect it to be any good, it's more durable than thin aluminum! So, in that respect, it is reasonably well made for the task it has to perform. I already accidentally dropped one of the parts onto my tile floor and it was unscathed. And since it is stainless steel it's dishwasher safe, but I hand was all of my makers.The flavor of the coffee it makes is very good, if you like strong full-flavored coffee, without bitterness, but you could make it bitter if you use too fine of a grind which will slow down the filter rate to more than 6 minutes. The aim is to have the coffee filtering from the first drop to the last drop is supposed to take between 5 to 6 minutes. I'm using store-bought coffee beans that I grind to a medium-fine grind but that's because I use a dark roast, a medium to light roast you would want a finer grind; the beans I have are Arabica beans, ideally, they should be robusta beans which are the traditional beans that Vietnam grows, but I can't find robusta beans at my regular local grocery store, I will have to go to my international market where I get my Turkish beans from and see what they have. But the real authentic way of making Vietnamese coffee is to buy the coffee from Vietnam, Nuygen does sell them, and I may try one of their bags of coffee later if I can't find it locally.It makes a really nice strong cup of coffee, it's easy to do, easy to clean, cheap to buy, I can't find anything not to like about it for making coffee for one person, but I only have to make coffee for myself. If you were making it for 2 people you would have to make two separate cups, or buy two Phin makers and make both cups at the same time. No automatic drip maker, K-cup, or pod maker will make any coffee even remotely comparable to this, and you could spend hundreds of dollars on one of those and get crap for coffee. At some point, you will want real coffee, and when you do these Phin makers, and the other makers I mentioned above are what you will eventually graduate to.

Perfect authentic Vietnamese coffee
I recently purchased a phin coffee filter, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results! This simple yet effective tool allows me to make authentic Vietnamese coffee right at home, just like I’ve had at local cafés. The filter is easy to use and provides just the right amount of slow brewing to create that rich, smooth flavor I love.The design is sturdy and the size is perfect for making a single cup or multiple servings. I especially enjoy how the coffee drips slowly through the filter, producing a thick, full-bodied brew that’s perfect when paired with sweetened condensed milk. It's the traditional way to make Vietnamese coffee, and the phin filter delivers the perfect cup every time.

Well worth it
Packaging arrived damaged but the contents were in good condition. Great manufacturing quality. I've used it for about 5 mugs of coffee so far and it has worked perfectly. I love it.

Design flaw but you can work around it.
I'm torn on this thing. It's well made and thick metal which I like. But the design with the removable base plate means it leaks out the side if I try to use it. This thing is big enough to fit into a quart container without the base though so if you use it like that it's great.

The right Coffee for me!
After traveling to Vietnam and trying the coffee, I was obsessed! There had to be something I could find to satisfy my Vietnamese coffee craving and this is what I discovered! After a quick google search I this company. They’re extremely knowledgeable and have great tools and tips on YouTube for using their product. They make it easy to duplicate the taste and flavors of Vietnam in your own home. Works great and easy to clean and use! It is just the right size for fitting on a regular coffee mug but not for some of the other small ones. Overall a good purchase!

Vietnamese coffee maker
I gave it a 3, had no instructions 0r box. I usualy will clean ,dry and store it within its box. I don't need instructions to make the coffee but this is a bigger capacity and now have to guess on measurements for the coffee itself.Otherwise works as intended and the stainless design should make it last longer.

F’phin Fun!
I don’t write many reviews, but this purchase definitely warranted one. The Nguyen 4 oz. Phin Filter is a simple, fun, and efficient way to make a strong cup of coffee. I ordered mine as a bundle with the Loyalty blend and have made a few cups since receiving it over the weekend. The taste is unlike most coffee blends you’ve likely had before - it’s bold and packs a wallop. I love knowing that I’m supporting a small business with my purchase and that the beans come from an excellent source. If you’re thinking about grabbing one, just do it. You’ll have tons of fun drippin’ and sippin’ with this!
