  1. Pour hot water through empty phin

  4. Gently shake to even out coffee
  5. Tamp coffee firmly, but don’t over tamp
  6. Pour just enough water to soak the beans into phin and wait 10 seconds
  7. Pour remaining amount of water into phin
  8. Cap and wait

We recommend serving with 30g of condensed milk (Adjust amount to taste).
