Where to find good coffee in Da Nang, Vietnam (and how local phin coffee works)?

There's a specific cafe with great coffee (Google Maps link) — you can get a 10% discount using promo code 'Alisher'.

At chain coffee shops like Starbucks, lattes often aren't filled to the top — typically about 50ml less than the stated volume, though the flavor can still be rich.

When brewing with a Vietnamese phin filter: the more ground coffee you use, the less liquid drips through — resulting in a stronger, espresso-like brew. Dosage is a matter of personal preference.

Coffee sold as 'luwak' (civet coffee) is often not authentic — at best the blend may contain just 1-2% real luwak. That said, the taste is still good.

No need to overpay for hyped-up expensive coffee — Da Nang is full of places with reasonable prices and interesting drinks, where you'll be treated warmly and your coffee made exactly to your liking.
