A Step-by-Step Vietnamese Coffee Brewing Experience
Vietnamese coffee is not just a drink. It is part of everyday life, social culture, and local identity. In this class, we guide you through the full process of making authentic coffee using the traditional Vietnamese phin filter and carefully selected dark roast Robusta coffee.
We begin with the essential tools and ingredients. You will learn why the phin filter plays such an important role in Vietnamese brewing and why Robusta beans are the foundation of the strong, rich flavor that people associate with authentic Vietnamese coffee.
Together, we will go through the brewing process step by step. Our coffee instructor will show you how to prepare each drink properly, explain how different brewing methods affect flavor, and help you understand what makes Vietnamese drip coffee so distinctive.
One of the most important parts of this experience is learning why Vietnamese coffee tastes so different from many other coffees around the world. The answer lies largely in the beans. Vietnamese Robusta coffee has a bold body, deep aroma, and strong character that cannot be fully recreated with Arabica beans. That is why this workshop is such a great way to truly discover Vietnamese coffee culture while traveling.

We did the coffee making class at Hanoi Coffee Station and it was incredible! One of the best classes I've ever taken, and certainly the most fun. We learned how to make all the classic Vietnamese coffees - including a delicious coconut egg coffee. We learned a lot about the history of coffee and the current state of coffee production and culture in Vietnam. Was a great way to spend the morning.

Vietnamese Coffee Making Class - What a fabulous way to spend an hour and a half! Anyone who likes to cook, likes coffee, or is interested in Vietnam - this tour is for you! Leader Le Hoang (Jude) taught us how to use the distinctive Vietnamese coffee maker with filter, filled us in on the history of coffee growing and making in Vietnam, all while being a hugely entertaining fellow. His classes are usually on weekend mornings EST. Great value, great experience! A Taste of Hanoi has always offered unique tours in this unique country - and now we can all enjoy it online from the comfort of our armchairs as the pandemic subsides.

I did the coffee class in the morning with my friend. We had a super teacher, Tony. He was very kind and patient. We made about 4-5 different coffees. Be prepared to drink a lot, so don’t drink coffee before I highly recommend if you want to learn more about the Vietnamese coffee habits and history, and also understand the difference between all the coffees you can see in the coffee shops !

I participated in the coffee making course at Hanoi Coffee Station in the Old Quarter. Our barista expert was fantastic and we learned about the difference between arabica and robusta beans, how to make 4 different kinds of Vietnamese special coffees (no need for an espresso machine!) and tried the house specialty as well! A wonderful way to end my time in Hanoi. Highly recommended.
