Vietnamese Coffee

I know what you are tired of. You are tired of going to a Vietnamese restaurant and ordering a glass of Vietnamese coffee for two dollars which has approximately a thimblefull of actual coffee in it.

What you ought to do is make your own. "But Alex," you say, "I don't have one of those Vietnamese showerhead coffeepot things! I have no idea where to get one either as Asian cooking tools are notoriously hard to find!" Did you know that those are actually completely unnecessary? Did you know that you can make perfectly good coffee with Western tools? You did not think of that because you are locked into ethnocentric thinking.

Now that I have broken your mental block you can probably figure out how to make Vietnamese coffee without any further hints. If you are like me you will drink enough to make yourself sick (caffeinism) so maybe it is just as well that you had not unlocked the secret of Vietnamese coffee until now.
