Vietnamese Coffee Filter Press. Screw Down Insert. Dripper Mechanism. Made in Vietnam. Sizes S-XL in 1 or 2 Pack (1, Medium (8 oz))

Okay phin filter. My issue with it is that the screw down insert does not screw down all the way inside. The shaft inside is fully threaded but the insert is threaded to go only about 1/3 the way down. So there is a lot of space between the insert and the bottom when you turn as far as it will go. The result is that I need to use about 2.5 - 3 tablespoons of coffee grounds to fill that space and enough compression of the grounds to achieve the recommended drip time of 4 minutes. Don't know if this is by design but i'm running through a can of coffee much quicker than I had anticipated. Also, I wish there was a more textured nob when screwing the insert, its hard to grip sometimes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Edited 5/20/18 Seller reached out to me because of my initial 3 star review of the 8oz screw down type filter. Seller offered to send me the 8oz gravity type filter as a replacement. I accepted the offer and received the gravity type filter a few days later. Key differences between the screw down type and the gravity type: -Screw down filter comes in 3 parts (brew chamber, screw down insert, and cap) -Gravity filter comes in 4 parts (filter plate, brew chamber, gravity insert, and cap). -It's much easier to compress the coffee grounds with the gravity type. With the screw down, you're at the mercy of how far the screw down insert goes. -Cleaner brew with the gravity type as the coffee is passing through 2 layers (the brew chamber and the filter plate) versus the screw down type which only has 1 layer and consequently, some grounds finds its way through. -Gravity type is easier to clean after brewing as you just pull out the insert and dump the grounds. Screw down type was tricky to unscrew after brewing cause of the coffee oils. -Screw down type feels higher quality since it is all metal where as the gravity type has plastic nobs on either side for handling compared to the metal handle that the screw down type has. I'm fortunate enough to live close by to an Asian market that stocks both Trung Nguyen and Cafe Du Monde coffees and have tried both. Both coffees work well in the gravity type filter. Just make sure to compress the coffee grounds a little before brewing. I haven't use the screw down type since receiving the gravity type. 5 star rating to the seller for standing behind the product and making things right.

I can't say I wasn't warned by previous reviews, but I wanted an all-metal phin and the gravity press phins have plastic handles. The threaded press works smoothly, but my arthritis makes reaching deep into the cup to turn the little post very difficult and uncomfortable. If it were an inch longer and/or slotted for a screwdriver it would be a perfect design. Wonderful coffee and effortless clean-up, once it is disassembled.

If you've never had vietnamese coffee - hot or iced - you are missing a real treat. Thanks to Amazon, I was able to buy real vietnamese ground coffee and sweetened condensed milk (yes, they're distinctly different from their American counterparts). What makes the coffee such a treat is the special filter, called a phin. I bought this one from The Fitzy Shop. It's high quality stainless steel that's sturdy and very well made. The filter holes are small so the grounds don't end up in your drink. As a complement to this filter of excellent quality is the customer service. I received 3 emails - 1 before I received the filter with detailed brewing instructions, 1 after I received it to ask if I had any questions, and the last one a few days later to confirm that I was enjoying my purchase - this is unheard of! This is an easy filter to use and it produces an excellent cup of coffee. No paper filter needed either! This makes better coffee than my drip or french press. I highly recommend both the filter and the Fitzy Shop! (And I received no compensation or discount for this review!)

Everything looks great, but I did not realize these were so big. Probably twice as big as what I expected. I guess my local shop always used smaller phins. Quality is great.

I am so impressed with this Vietnamese coffee filter set! I ordered the 2-pack in the 8 oz. size, and it's the perfect balance! Not too small, not too large - just right for a strong, smooth cup of coffee. The quality is excellent. The metal feels sturdy and well-made, and the filters sit securely on the cup without any wobbling. It's easy to use, easy to clean, and consistently delivers that rich, bold coffee flavor I love. Having two filters is a huge bonus - perfect for a slow Sunday morning coffee chat with my partner. Whether you're new to Vietnamese coffee or already a fan, this set is a fantastic value and works beautifully. Highly recommend!

Nice design which is a modification of a South Indian filter coffee contraption. Pricing is bit more but the steel quality is good.Works with regular milk too but using condensed milk gives it an unique taste. A great change from our regular coffee taste. The screw mechanism helps you in adjusting the strength of the decoction. The grind should be fine and not extra fine.

The product rusted when it got to me. Not happy at all. This is not safe to use and haven’t even used it yet.

Mit diesen Filtern schmeckt der Kaffee wunderbar. Man sollte nur den vietnamesischen gemahlenen Kaffee nutzen. Er hat die richtige Körnung. Mit der süßen Kaffeesahne ein wahrer Genuss.

Very good quality!! I’m not a coffee expert but it works very well
