I Discovered This "Cloud" Coffee in Vietnam and Now It’s My Afternoon Ritual
Vietnamese egg coffee, or cà phê trứng, blends robusta coffee brewed with a traditional phin filter and a light, whipped egg‑yolk foam sweetened with condensed milk.

Today the original recipe is served at Café Giảng and has sparked countless modern twists, including iced versions and flavored foams. Home‑brew guides show how simple equipment like a phin or French press can recreate the cloud‑like texture.
