Trung Nguyen Phin Coffee Filter

The Trung Nguyen phin filter 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.

How to use the phin filter:

• Put 2-3 tablespoons of ground coffee into the filter and gently push the filter press inside.
• Place the filter on the cup and pour a small amount of hot water in (96-100°C) to moisten the coffee.
• Wait about 20 seconds.
• Fill the filter chamber with hot water and cover with the lid.
• Over the next 5 minutes the water should drizzle through the strainer.
• Remove the lid from the cup.
