I ordered this filter because it was the cheapest, and I’ve heard that quality and functionality is pretty much the same on all Vietnamese coffee filters. Having used mine a couple times, I can believe that.

This filter has the screw-style insert, which I found to work well. It’s not hard to find the right amount of pressure. Just check how quickly the water level is going down inside the filter, and how quickly the drops are falling from the bottom. You want it all to filter through in about 5 minutes.

If you’re wondering how difficult it is to make something that actually tastes like cafe sua da, it isn’t very difficult at all. By only my second attempt, I was drinking something that tasted pretty much exactly like cafe sua da from my favorite local Vietnamese restaurant. Just use ground coffee with chicory (I used French Market because I couldn’t find the recommended Cafe Du Monde near my house) and sweetened condensed milk. I was surprised how easy it was; it tastes so different from drip-style brewed coffee.

My only complaint is that the little lid doesn’t seem to go on completely. I’m not sure if that’s intentional or not, but it doesn’t really affect the brewing either way.
