FAQs
Can I use regular coffee instead of Vietnamese coffee?
While you can use other ground coffee, Vietnamese coffee has a unique robust flavor and coarse grind that works best with the phin filter. Using a different coffee may alter the taste and brewing process.
Is the yogurt flavor strong in this drink?
The yogurt adds a creamy and slightly tangy note, balancing the sweetness of the condensed milk and bitterness of the coffee without overpowering the drink. Using plain yogurt helps keep the flavor smooth and refreshing.
