Vietnamese coffee can be served black or used as the base for a milk-based or blended drink. Choose the version you want first, then follow the preparation method for that drink.
Black coffee, hot or icedBlack coffee lets you taste the brewed coffee on its own. For an iced version, include the ice in the finished drink you are comparing: a hot cup and a glass poured over ice are different servings.
Coffee with condensed milkSweetened condensed milk brings sweetness and a creamy texture to the coffee. It can be served hot or over ice. Our
guide to pouring Vietnamese coffee explains the phin preparation and serving steps.
Coconut coffeeCoconut milk or cream adds another flavour and texture to the coffee base. The product you use matters to the finished drink, so try the complete version before adjusting the sweetness. Follow the
Vietnamese coconut coffee recipe for a starting method.
Egg coffeeEgg coffee has its own rich, foamy topping and preparation steps. Use our
Vietnamese egg coffee guide when that is the drink you want to make, rather than treating it as a simple topping swap.
Other milks and blended drinksChanging the milk or blending the drink changes the finished texture and flavour. Compare the complete serving, including any fruit, sweetener or ice used in your version.
