Vietnamese Coffee
For a quick daily cup, I employ the Aeropress, which some people compare to a French press but I see it as a high-tech cousin of the phin filter.

- 3 tablespoons ground medium-dark or dark roast coffee, such as Café Du Monde, or French, Italian, or Spanish roast
- 2/3 cup hot water
Assemble the Aeropress with a metal or paper filter in place and set over a coffee cup. Add the ground coffee, then shake the chamber to distribute. Pour in 3 tablespoons of the hot water to moisten and bloom the coffee. After the water passes through, about 30 seconds, add the remaining ½ cup hot water. Stir five times, then wait for the water to pass through until half of the original volume remains, 30 to 90 seconds. Slowly plunge to express the remaining coffee before serving.
