I never had Vietnamese coffee so I am curious to try it. What makes it Vietnamese is just the apparatus? What type of grind does it need?
I use a italian moka pot for my everyday use, and once in a while I make greek/turkish/cyprus coffee in a simple brikki pan, since I don't have a fancy copper one. Now that I'm travelling I have a cloth filter with me, it does the job, it's portable and environment friendly.
Now for the coffee itself, I found the best thing is to go to a coffee store, explain what you like, and get them grinded to whatever you need (expresso, filter, french press). It's usually slightly more expensive, sometimes the same price as the supermarket. If I have to buy in the supermarket I usually go for Illy or Lavazza, but I like to try new brands from time to time, I always alternate every time I buy, so I don't get tired of the same coffee.
Is this Cafe du Monde good? A friend once brought me coffee from Louisiana but I don't remember if it was this, the package was yellow but it was not a can.
