I am enjoying my one cup a day from Nguyen! And will purchase again. Thank you.
I love the loyalty blend! Initially, I bought two however had some shipping issues and only received one bag. The customer service team was great and prompt and I received the second bag shortly after. Love using this blend in my NCS phin, french press, or cold brew!
I gifted this to my friend whom I’ve traveled to Vietnam with and she is Vietnamese herself. I read that it might not function well but it’s the perfect decor piece for her and she loves it :)
I loved my phin filter and the coffee so much, I immediately went and bought two more kits as gifts. The recipients were equally thrilled. So easy to use and clean, and it's eco and portable as well! It will get a lot of mileage. Can't wait to try more recipes. Big fan!
Vietnamese coffee used to be one a rare treat, but with Nguyen Coffee's True Grit and a Phin kit. I'm set for ice coffee for the hot New York summer
So I found Nguyen on Instagram and after reading about the brand and the mission behind the product, I wanted to support in any way I could. I got the TrueGrit blend and within a few minutes of my first cup already felt more energized and awake than my last coffee brand. Taste is amazing and smooth, there is no bitterness and it's very full bodied. 1 cup lasts me all day now, and I don't find myself crashing midway through the day. Love it and would buy again, highly recommend!
My husband loved these coffees. Nice to be able to try all 3. Plan to purchase again.
Honestly, love everything and it's become mandatory to always have Nguyen coffee as part of my coffee supply.
The best coffee I've ever had was in Vietnam and I was hoping this would be the same as what I had there. For context, I'm an advocate for black coffee. I tried three different brewing methods: Chemex, phin and cold brew.
For the Chemex, I did not adjust the amount of beans in accordance to how much caffeine was advertised on the bag. After an hour, I felt coffee jitters. However, the taste was very mild compared to what I'm used to, in my opinion, it tasted like popcorn.
For the sake of authenticity, I made a cafe sua da with a phin. I thought it was very delicious, but as a person who prefers black coffee, I could not have this regularly.
Lastly, I did the cold brew method. In my opinion, I think this is the best way to extract the full flavours of this bean. It has a very chocolatey and caramel flavour, without adding anything extra. Additionally, it has a very clean flavour and mouth feel (if this makes sense). If you have the patience, I would highly suggest doing this method, for it was the closest to what I had in Vietnam.
I'm giving it 3/5 because the method I prefer takes the longest. If you like to add sweetener and/or cream to your coffee then this is a great bean for that.
I opened the bag yesterday and was grateful for the lovely aroma wafting from the inside. My first cup was delightful. Smooth, not bitter or burned in any way. Very fresh and enjoyable! I am looking forward to my next cup.
My friend was super happy to receive this gift!! I purchased it after seeing Sahra on the Drew Barrymore show. Great product selection for gifts!
