We have a couple of those here. I love it for making Cafe Sua Da but we haven't broken them out in a while. My wife got me hooked on it when we were first dating. Lately I've just been having crappy pre-ground coffee from a drip coffee maker. At least its hot and caffeinated...
It makes a highly extracted cup of joe. Also, because it takes several minutes to brew a cup it feels like you are treating yourself to something special.Never even heard of it.. Interesting!
The thrill is gone
Take your crappy pre-ground coffee and make it in one of your Phins. It might make for a better cup. Naturally, it would be better to use better coffee, but use what you have.
I think the 2 y.o. is the only one of us with any thrill lately.
Considering how cheap they are, there is no reason not to have one or two in the house. I have had my two for at least 10 years now. I got them at a local Asian market for ~$5 each. They are stainless steel and will last forever.

Apparently the ones on ebay have differing sizes with most 100 ml whuch seems small. What's a Size 9 ?
9 oz. maybe?Apparently the ones on ebay have differing sizes with most 100 ml whuch seems small. What's a Size 9 ?
Yeah, majority of listings are for 100 ml................3.5 ounces seems small for coffee to me......
When you are making iced coffee it is about right. What I usually do it brew the coffee in the phin then pour in some boiling water to around 12 ounces then add Stevia and heavy cream. It makes an excellent cup.
Not all of them have a screw-down style tamper. However, it should sit in place as you pour the water over.
