Method
- Add Condensed MilkAdd 20g of sweetened condensed milk to your glass.Pro-tip: Adding milk first allows the hot coffee dripping from the phin to "cook" the milk slightly, enhancing the aroma of your coffee.
- Preheat the PhinRinse the phin with hot water to increase heat retention and maintain stable temperature throughout the brewing process, helping the coffee extract better flavor.
- Bloom the CoffeeAdd 20 grams of Robusta coffee grounds to the phin and shake gently to level it. Pour 30ml of boiling water over the grounds and let it bloom for 40 seconds, allowing the coffee to expand evenly.
- Add WaterGently press down the coffee grounds with the filter press, then add 50ml of boiling water to the phin and close the lid.Pro-tip: Don't press too hard, as this can block the flow.
- Wait for ExtractionYou'll see coffee starting to drip down. Wait until the extraction is complete and no more drops fall (approximately 5 minutes).
- Use a spoon to stir the milk and coffee layers together, add ice, and enjoy.

Notes
The "Golden Ratio"
- 1:1 Ratio (20g Coffee : 20g Condensed Milk): This is the Classic Street Style ratio. Moderately sweet, creamy, and very rich. I recommend this for first-timers.
- 1.5:1 Ratio (30g Coffee : 20g Condensed Milk): This is the Modern ratio. Less sweet with more pronounced coffee flavor. Perfect for those who want to appreciate the Robusta beans.
