Inspired by the coffee at Pho's on Burnett (near PRC), I got a Vietnamese coffee machine of my own from the local oriental supermarket. The recommended coffee is not some exotic blend which needs to be roasted exactly 13 hours before being ground, but a generic can of a chicory mixed (stale ?) blend, Cafe Du Monde.Add a dab of sweetened condensed milk (no evaporated or fresh milk) in cup, put a few tea spoons of coffee in the stainless steel thingy, compress the coffee, add hot water and let it drip. And you have a cuppa Vietnamese coffee to savor.
This is also very similar to how coffee is made in South India (Madras coffee) and not surprisingly, it tastes quite similar to it too.
