  • Put the chamber over the lid. Add the ground coffee into the chamber. Shake the chamber gently to flatten the coffee inside and press it with the damper. Add a little water to the lid under the chamber.
    Add Ground Coffee
  • Gradually pour hot water into the chamber, making sure that the water covers the coffee evenly. Allow the coffee to soak up the water, then let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Then, take the lid out and pour hot water into the chamber. The water should be at about ⅔ the capacity of the chamber maximum.
    Take The Lid Out
  • Let the coffee drip, which will take a couple of minutes. Once the dripping almost stops, firmly press down on the damper to extract all the remaining coffee.
    Press Down On The Damper
  • Make the egg cream while waiting for the coffee to drip. Whip the egg yolk with honey, sugar, and a little egg white using a hand mixer for 5 to 7 minutes.
    Make The Egg Cream
  • Whip untile until fluffy and soft peaks form.

  • To check if the cream has reached the right consistency, scoop out a small amount and place it in a cup of water. If the cream floats above the water, it's ready.
    Check If The Cream
  • Pour the condensed milk into a glass, top it with a layer of coffee, and finish with the egg cream. The best cream-to-coffee ratio is 1:1.
    Present The Drink
  • If you want, you can pour a little more coffee over the cream.

Notes

  • You can make 1 serving of cà phê trứng in the above total time.
  • Only pour in the egg mixture right before enjoying the drink. You should store the unused egg cream in the fridge.
  • Make sure that the tools you use to whip the egg are cleaned and completely dry.
  • For the best-tasting drink, the ground coffee must be pure with a moderately smooth consistency.
  • Follow the recipe for the best water-to-coffee ratio. Too much water will result in a diluted coffee.
  • Pay great attention to the eggs while whipping them to ensure they have come to the right consistency. Otherwise, they'll taste like raw eggs.
