​Yes — you can make Vietnamese-style coffee with a French press, and the result is surprisingly close to the traditional “phin filter” method. While it won’t be 100% identical in texture and drip time, a French press can recreate the signature richness, bold flavor, and classic sweetness of Vietnamese coffee with ease. It’s a convenient alternative for people who don’t own a phin brewer but still want the iconic taste of Vietnamese iced coffee (cà phê sữa đá) or hot black Vietnamese coffee (cà phê đen).
