5.00Really cool workshop, my partner and I did the single coffee experience and we learned a lot about coffee origins and makings (which were also delicious). Joseph and his wife were great hosts. We had good chats about Vietnam as well, overall it was well worth it and I’d recommend it ☺️

5.00I had an amazing time, not only did I learn how to make different types of coffee but I also got an insight into vietnamese life and culture. I got a private class as I was the only one signing up this date and time. The egg coffee was the best one I have had in vietnam, not as extremely sweet as the ones you buy and the taste was richer. I 100% recommend this WS if you have some time to spare in Saigon!
Super koffie

5.00We absolutely loved this coffee-making workshop! It was a fun and very interactive experience. There was no rushing at all, and we received plenty of help and guidance during the whole process. Everything was explained clearly, and we even got all the recipes afterwards so we can try making everything again at home. Highly recommended for anyone who loves coffee and wants to learn in a relaxed and enjoyable way!
Highly recommended for coffee lovers

5.00Highly recommended for coffee lovers and anyone wanting a deeper appreciation of Vietnamese coffee culture! This was such a unique and enriching experience, and definitely a must-try when visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Thank you, Joseph and Chien, for welcoming us into your home and teaching us about the history of coffee in Vietnam, and proper brewing methods using the phin filter. It was also a great chance to experience authentic egg coffee and other traditional Vietnamese coffee drinks.
Awesome
