The Modern Manual Brew: Vietnam Robusta Pour-over with Creamy Oat Milk
While many associate Robusta with traditional phin filters, our Vietnam Robusta Signature Medium Roast is designed to shine in modern manual brewing. Today, we’re exploring the Robusta Pour-over—a method that highlights the bean’s clean caffeine and chocolatey notes, especially when paired with the nutty richness of oat milk.
Why Pour-over for Robusta?
By using the pour-over method with a medium roast, we bypass the harsh bitterness of commercial coffee. Instead, you get a clear, translucent cup with a sophisticated "gu" (personality) that serves as a perfect canvas for plant-based milks.
Part 1: The Golden Pour-over Ratio (1:15)
To capture the full spectrum of our Signature Robusta, we recommend a 1:15 ratio for a balanced yet bold body.
Ingredients & Tools:
• 20g MissTrang Robusta Signature (Medium-coarse grind)
• 300ml Water (Target temperature: 92°C / 198°F)
• Equipment: V60 dripper, paper filter, and a gooseneck kettle.
The Three-Stage Pour Technique (60g - 60g - 180g):
1. The Bloom (0-30s): Gently pour 60g of water to saturate the grounds. Wait 30 seconds. This releases CO2 and "wakes up" the nutty aromas.
2. The Extraction (30s-1m15s): Pour another 60g in a steady circular motion. This builds the sweetness and body.
3. The Finish (1m15s-2m30s): Pour the remaining 180g slowly. Allow the water to draw down completely. You should have a clean, aromatic black coffee.

Part 2: The Modern Twist — Robusta & Oat Milk Latte
If you prefer a creamier, "guilt-free" indulgence, this 1:3 ratio ensures the coffee’s strength isn't lost in the milk.
The Mix:
• 150g of your fresh Robusta Pour-over
• 50g of Unsweetened Oat Milk
Instructions:
Simply pour the cold or steamed oat milk into your hot coffee. The toasted nut notes of our Vietnam Robusta Signature harmonize beautifully with the earthy sweetness of oats, creating a latte that is both strong and incredibly smooth.
Why this works for your healthy lifestyle:
• Clean Energy: Pure Robusta caffeine provides a sustained focus without the crash.
• Low Calorie: By using unsweetened oat milk, you enjoy a rich texture without added sugars or dairy.
• No Harshness: Thanks to our advanced processing and medium roasting, this pour-over is smooth enough to drink black or with a splash of milk.
