Disappointed.
The inner part meant for pressing the coffee while the water dripped through had nothing to secure it down and would seemingly float to the top when the water was added. The only way to stop that was to hold it down with your finger. Not the best thing for a product that you're supposed to add boiling water to. Not sure what type of metal was used but it was easily bent out of shape. I was really hoping to try Vietnamese coffee the right way. Not anymore, at least with this product.
It works
The coffee maker is exactly as advertised. It is kinda cheap metal, but it was also priced low, so who can complain about that? It makes coffee - but not as strong as I had originally hoped. the tamper is very light, and tends to rise with the water causing the filter to pass the water too fast.
The bare minimum.
On the bright side, it keeps the grounds mostly out of your coffee, and can be used to actually brew. This is the only phin I could get shipped outside the US from anywhere, so... I'm glad I got something at least. The tamper has notches that seem designed to lock into bumps inside the body of the filter, but the size mismatch is so great, that's literally impossible. So it's basically just for show - once you pour boiling water in, the tamper will be lifted up by the floating grounds if you don't leave the lid off and hold it down with a spoon or something. Either way, about half your coffee grounds will end up above the tamper when you brew. Overall it's quite cheap, but at least it mostly works as a filter.
