Vietnamese Coffee Filter Set

The Vietnamese Coffee Filter Set is a traditional metal filter is a cross between the pour over and French press style coffee, and produces a deeply satisfying brew. Stainless steel filter set consists of a round perforated plate, that fits over a coffee mug or cup; a brewing chamber, that sits on top of the plate; a perforated insert that fits inside the chamber, to tamp the grounds down; and a cap to keep the heat in. Once the coffee grinds (about the size of table salt) are added to the chamber, the filter insert is twisted down, packing in desired coffee. Then boiling water is poured on top; after 60 seconds, more hot water is added. The cap helps retain the heat as the first drips descend, either into an empty cup or onto a generous spoonful of thick condensed milk.
