I have found two different ways to make this coffee. One is probably a little more traditional Vietnamese, the other a little more southern US. Both are very good as long as you use sweetened condensed milk. You can use either Trung Nguyen Vietnamese Coffee or Café Du Monde Coffee with Chicory. Both types of coffee are sold side by side at the Nam Hai Oriental Food Market along with the Vietnamese Coffee Filters and condensed milk. For those without an Oriental food market close, the filters are sold through Amazon as well as some other outlets. The Trung Nguyen might be a little harder to find, but it is worth a search. I purchased two coffee filters, 1 15oz can of Trung Nguyen, 1 15oz can of Café Du Monde, 2 cans of condensed milk, and 1 can of coconut milk for about $15 and went home and made some very good and some very bad coffee. The good coffee was made with the sweetened condensed milk; the bad coffee was made with coconut milk. I will say that I now appreciate the fact that I am not vegan and not lactose intolerant more than ever. The coconut milk does nothing to cut the bitterness of the Robusta coffee and frankly Robusta needs a little cutting. I didn’t try the Café Du Monde with coconut milk, but I do not imagine the results would be much better.
