Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

This Vietnamese Coffee Workshop takes place inside a real local home — not a café, not a studio, but a genuine living space in Ho Chi Minh City.

Here, you don’t just sample coffee. You brew five iconic Vietnamese coffee styles yourself using the traditional phin filter, guided step by step in a relaxed and personal setting.

Blending hands-on practice with regional flavors from North to South Vietnam, the experience goes beyond technique. Through stories, conversation, and shared moments around the table, you gain insight into how coffee shapes everyday life in Vietnam.

It’s intimate, authentic, and designed for travelers who want connection — not just a class.

What to expect

Vietnam is one of the world’s leading coffee producers, and coffee is an essential part of daily life in Ho Chi Minh City. In this Vietnamese Coffee Workshop, you’ll go beyond tasting — you’ll learn how coffee is made, why it tastes unique, and how it connects generations.

Hosted in a welcoming local home, this class offers a relaxed and authentic setting to explore Vietnamese coffee culture. Your host will introduce the history of Vietnamese coffee, from its origins to today’s vibrant café culture, along with insights into Robusta beans and traditional roasting styles.

Then, it’s time to brew.

Using the traditional phin filter, you’ll prepare coffee step by step, learning the proper ratios and techniques for the perfect drip.

During the workshop, you’ll make and taste five iconic styles:

Traditional Phin Filter Coffee
Vietnamese Milk Coffee
Hanoi Egg Coffee
Mekong Coconut Coffee
Hue Salted Coffee

Along the way, you’ll understand the flavor differences and cultural stories behind each variation.

More than a class, this is a cultural exchange inside a real local home — a memorable and flavorful experience in Ho Chi Minh City.
