About
Cà phê vợt (cà phê vợt; also known as net-filter coffee) is a traditional method of brewing coffee in southern Vietnam, associated with cafes in alleys and market-adjacent stalls in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). It uses a reusable cloth filter suspended in a metal ring to steep and strain ground coffee into a pot, producing coffee that is brewed in batches and kept warm for pour-out service.
Net-filter coffee differs from Vietnamese drip coffee made with a metal phin, which is brewed per cup rather than held in a serving pot. The method is linked with long-running small cafes and "old Saigon" coffee culture, including venues that keep kettles and/or brewed coffee warm over a stove during service.
