Best coffee around
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have always been a fan of Vietnamese "dessert" coffee. This recipe is just as I remember it. Modern latte's don't compare... to this coffee. I do believe the comment about this being low calorie was just a joke. Although the coffee is very addicting, it's not something you want to drink on a daily basis. My suggestion: Lightly cover the coffee grounds in luke warm water before pouring the hot water over; it helps to bring out the full flavor.Read more

Almost authentic
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Sara does real justice to this recipe, but most Vietnamese coffee shops use a blend of coffee grounds and chicory. Look for a... brand called "Cafe du Monde". It's in a yellow cylindrical can smaller than a folger's can found at many Asian markets. These grounds give it a taste that is distinctive from using just french roast coffee grounds. Also, someone mentioned that this was a low calorie drink -- it's not. Check the nutrition information on the sweetened condensed milk. There's quite a bit of fat and sugar -- that's why it's so good!Read more
