Product Features

• Good quality Vietnamese coffee

Product Description

The picture shows the coffee in a can, but we no longer offer the can. Now this coffee is packaged in sealed foil bag, and sold in a box. We love the aroma, flavor and unique preparation style of good quality Vietnamese coffee. It's just slightly lighter than a French roast, and smooth not acidic. The premium quality coffee is grown and roasted in Vietnam, and ground to the appropriate coarseness, so you know you're getting the real thing. It's packaged a 15 oz can as shown. This is Trung Nguyen GOURMET BLEND, distinguished by being a blend of four different bean types and a small touch of cocoa, and "spices", as listed on the ingredients. It is Arabica, Robusta, Excelsa, otherwise known as Chari, and Catimor. We also offer the Vietnamese Coffee filter to make this delicious coffee.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good !!, April 8, 2007

This review is from: Trung Nguyen Vietnamese coffee - 15 oz can (Misc.)

I never thought of Vietnam as a point of coffee growing. But on second thought, why not..it's very close to Indonesia and they have some wonderful brews. And the same is here! This is very smooth with a low acid taste. So it will roll across your tongue and not leave an after bite. There is even a hint of chocolate in the taste-very surprising! For me this is one of the more unusal island-type coffees I've ever tasted.A good find and nice to drink. A further note,if you go to the Trung Nguyen website, they sell a Vietnamese single cup coffee maker real cheap. It's sort of a cross between a french press and a melita single drip cone. If nothing else it's fun.

I had this coffee while visiting Vietnam. Robust,fruity,yet with no bitterness. Perfect any time of day. Just had to have it when I got back to the US. Worth the long search for it in US Asian-style markets. Now I can buy it on line! Thank you Amazon!

3.0 out of 5 stars Trung Nyguyen - Decent Vietnamese Coffee, But I Prefer Cafe DuMond., March 19, 2011

This review is from: Trung Nguyen Vietnamese coffee - 15 oz can (Misc.)

I like a good cup of Vietnamese coffee. I use either a coffee press or a Vietnamese filter depending on how much of a hurry I am in. I have two boxes of Trung Nguyen coffee, which I don't really use. The coffee is a little bit bitter for my taste. While the bitterness of Vietnamese coffee is cut by the sweet silkiness of sweetened condensed milk, this coffee bean is still manages to bite. Fixing the coffee with Cafe DuMond provides a rich experience without the bitterness.

I can get Trung Nguyen at an International market near my house. However, if you buy it online, expect to pay excessive shipping charges. Before this store opened, I had to pay nearly as much for shipping as the actual coffee. So a ten dollar box of coffee will set you back another ten for shipping. Ridiculous. Be aware of that if you decide to order online.

The cost of Trung Nguyen is actually pretty good compared to most other specialty coffees (when you don't have the shipping component). I can get it at my local market for $6.99. The online prices normally range right around ten dollars. Any good coffee brand is going to run around ten dollars per pound. This brand is just shy of one pound, at fifteen ounces. The seven dollars I pay locally is a steal. It is just too bad that the bean bites more than I like.

Trung Nguyen is excellent if you like to fix Vietnamese coffee. I you enjoy a bean that has an extra bitterness, then this is just right for you. It is a mixture of several beans, which is a by-product of the micro-climates that affect growing in Vietnam. If you like something a little milder, use Cafe DuMond. The chicory adds a pleasant chocolate quality without the harshness. Three stars.
