Discover Saigon Badminton Cafe
The Allure of Badminton Coffee Existing for Over Half a Century in Saigon
Badminton coffee, also known as drip or Vietnamese filtered coffee, stands out from phin or machine-brewed coffee. Unlike traditional methods, it involves placing coffee grounds in a cloth filter, immersing it in boiling water until all the rich coffee essence seeps out, then straining the brew to enjoy.
Experience the art of hand-roasted coffee, meticulously ground and brewed in traditional clay pots. Every step is executed with artisanal precision, even down to simmering the brew over a wood-fired stove. The delicate aroma and indescribable flavor of our coffee will linger in your memory long after the first sip.
