CarissaCarissa: It took a bit to settle into using it and this model doesn’t have a twist-in water spreader so there were some surprises but I’ve used it near daily for over a year and it works like an affordable champ. Expect 15-20 minutes start to finish for a cup of coffee. I’d recommend to anyone and it’s simple enough to give as a gift as well. Perfect for camping or travel when you don’t wanna pack a French press and the coffee is MUCH smoother than a French press as well. 10/10

M.D.: I've only used it a handful of times so far. If you take your time and read the instructions, which I did not the first time 😞, you will enjoy a flavorful, strong and clean cup of coffee. The phin filter allows oils through but hardly any sediment. I used the same coffee beans in my electric percolator, permanent stainless pour over filter and phin filter. The phin is really delicious and more complex in flavor. I was looking into espresso machines, but not anymore.

Cyrus Howe: I bought two 11 ounce phins (one for my wife and me) along with a Timemore pro max grinder that I fill with 3 tablespoons of death wish (which contains robusta in the blend) or other organic coffee beans. I grind a little finer than for French press because initially my water dripped through the phins in maybe 3 minutes when it sold take 4 to 5 according to the good instructions. I put agave syrup in our cups, before placing the phins which I jiggle (like dealing cards keeping it level against the cup's rim) atop the cup to level the grinds before placing the gravity press piece. I set my kettle to 202 degrees F, pour to maybe a half inch from the top and let the magic happen. We prefer iced coffee living in a hot climate, so I use a frother to mix the syrup, coffee, and soy milk until it's that nice even, opaque brown color with a bit of foam on top. Then fill with ice and maybe top with some cinnamon. I added a dash of almond extract to our syrup this morning and it was great. We don't have space for an espresso machine and brew a little tired of French press... plus we enjoy drinking a good amount of strong coffee, so this is perfect. It's really incredible technology for its...

Shane: This filter is a replacement from the one I bought when I was in Vietnam.
It filters just enough coffee for one cup.
It's perfect - you can put it in your bag and take it away with you...
I can filter ground coffee with no filter paper, and no mess.
When the coffee is finished filtering through the container, it is just the perfect temperature to drink!
Slurp... : )
I feel like a coffee now!

Paul Gray: I was hard to find a Phin this big. It also works as expected. Might be a bit on the pricey side though

Invictus: I’ve been looking for low cost coffee filter to make small cups with no waste. Also something that’s easy to clean.

This fits the bill pretty good, nice and compact and doesn’t take up much space.

Build construction is stainless steel with 2 sets of perforated holes. One set on the lower tray which supports the upper filter, one set on the filter itself. There are two plastic pegs on the side you can use to pickup the unit afterwards without burning your fingers. These are press fit on some stainless pegs on the sides of the unit.

It makes a decent coffee. I’ve tried both Vietnamese style (with condensed milk) and just straight up black coffee.

Coffee strength is entirely up to the user and depends on how much you put in and how tight you pack it.

Getting the correct grind size may take some trial and error if you don’t buy coffee specifically for a Vietnamese style maker.
Standard pre-ground coffee will be too fine, you’ll want something a bit coarser.

Process is easy enough, put in the grinds, level it off, put the filter on your cup, drizzle a small amount of hot water around 200f, let it sit for 30 seconds. Then top it...

ANTONIO D.: Extrae el 100% del sabor del café. Si usas un buen café de grano, lo mueles a tu gusto y lo disfrutarás plenamente. El estilo vietnamita es agregar leche condensada, en mi caso siento que malogras el sabor de un buen grano, pero es cuestión de gustos

GaS Ginsters: There's so much to making that perfect cup of Jo that I don't even know where to begin.

So, let me start by saying that I've been using Coffee Phins for over 20 years. I have two sizes, a 6oz and 10oz. Both are the screw on models. After 16 years of use, the center pin broke off my 10oz Phin (it was welded on). Needless to say, it still worked, but it wasn't the same... and so I was in search of a new Phin. These Phin's by Trung Nguyen appeared to be good quality Phins, Amazon customer's highly rate it, and these come with a LIFETIME warranty which gave me total confidence in the product.

The closest size they carried to my 10oz was the 11oz, so I went with it. It was the newer "gravity press" version rather than the screw on type of my old Phins, but even with my old Phin's I never screwed the Press in, so I wasn't worried. I brewed a few cups with this phin and they were terrible every time. Upon further investigation, I concluded that the Phin Press was too small. This created a gap and allowed the grinds to float above the press, thus altering the taste of my coffee.

I reached out to Fitzy (the seller) thinking they gave me a defective product (the press...
