Vinacafe’s new coffee maker pays homage to Vietnam-style coffee
Instant coffee producer Vinacafe Bien Hoa JSC (HOSE: VCF) yesterday launched the coffee maker CAFÉ de NAM “Phin Dien”, an innovative solution aiming to restore the unique experience of traditional Vietnamese “phin” coffee.
CAFÉ de NAM “Phin Dien” was inspired by the unique and traditional Vietnamese “phin” coffee filters but with the added convenience and hygiene of contemporary coffee preparation. With a single capsule and a push of a button, consumers will be able to enjoy, within 45 seconds, a cup of genuine coffee in three Vietnamese-style coffee flavors: ice dark coffee, strong hot coffee, and ice coffee with condensed milk.
“Currently, the world has two popular coffee cultures: espresso and Americano. With CAFÉ de NAM “Phin Dien”, we have successfully captured the original flavor of traditional Vietnamese-style coffee while introducing a unique and convenient way of enjoying our heritage drink to the world,” said Nguyen Tan Ky, CEO of Vinacafé.
CAFÉ de NAM “Phin Dien” will first be made available exclusively through select coffee shops.
In connection with the launch, Vinacafé acquired an 85 per cent equity interest in CDN Production Trading Corporation for a total consideration of VND35 billion ($1.6 million) to expand its coffee R&D platform and increase its production capacity.
