A cup of Vietnamese coffee, with its strong taste, makes strong impact
Coffee has long been one of the drinks most popular to the human kind. While coffee trees are grown and the beans processed in many parts of the world, Vietnamese coffee, roasted in Vietnam and brewed in a unique Vietnamese way, is strong and aromatic. The beans, mostly of robusta variety, make one of the world’s finest drinks.
Introduction
In the 19th century, the French brought a variety of coffee called ‘robusta’ coffee to Vietnam. From the beginning, this drink was reserved only for high class people such as French royals, or people with high positions in big cities. Gradually, coffee has been made popular for all Vietnamese people.

Two types of Vietnamese coffee
The term “Vietnamese coffee” in fact describes two types of Vietnamese coffee: a traditional Vietnamese roast and a style of brew.
It is possible to brew the traditional Vietnamese-style dark roasts with a foreign device, such as a French press, while brewing Italian-style roasted beans using the ubiquitous Vietnamese ‘phin’ drip filter also makes a good drink. “Phin”, the Vietnamese word for “a filter”, is often made from aluminum.
Now, Vietnam has emerged not only as one of the world’s biggest coffee exporters, but it has also created a unique, signature coffee for Vietnamese people. The two most famous varieties in Vietnam are arabica and robusta coffee. Each of them has its own reputation both at home and abroad. The most famous coffee brands in the country are Trung Nguyen Coffee, Vinacafe and NesCafe.
