Notes:
- A traditional Vietnamese coffee filter and Vietnamese coffee are recommended to ensure authentic flavor
- Vietnamese coffee is a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans with added chocolate flavor
- Pre-wetting the coffee grounds allows the coffee to expand prior to brewing
- Brew time varies and depends on how finely the coffee is ground and on how tightly it is packed in the brew chamber
