Phin Filter

Traditional

Vietnamese drip filter that sits on the cup.

Care schedule

1 task for this machine.

Wash and dry the phin

Daily

Aluminium phins hold oil in the perforations and go rancid quietly.

What you need

  • Soft brush. Washing-up liquid. A dry cloth.

What goes wrong

  • Putting it away wet and stacked, which is how a phin starts tasting stale. Scouring aluminium with a metal pad, which scratches it and gives oil somewhere to sit. Running it through a dishwasher, which will dull and pit the metal.

The procedure

  1. Take the filter apart the moment it has finished dripping. Chamber, gravity press or screw press, lid, saucer.
