Slow coffee Vietnamese style

Finally bought myself a couple of Vietnamese coffee makers (small, ultra low-tech drip filter device that fits over cup to make Vietnamese-style espresso). Costs $5 each at most Vietnamese grocery stores.

Recipe is simple: place about 1 heaping tbsp of condensed milk (or evaporated milk if you're conscious of the excess f-a-t) in bottom of a espresso cup, place filter over cup filled with about 1-2 tbsp of good ground coffee, pour just-boiled water into filter right to top, sit back and watch the drips fill up the cup. Takes about 5-7 mins to complete. Stir coffee and condensed milk and enjoy.

Bon appetit, Ken
