Egg coffee is one of Hanoi’s most iconic specialty drinks, attracting not only Vietnamese people but also international visitors. The unique combination of bold, slightly bitter coffee and a rich, smooth, creamy egg foam creates an unforgettable flavor. In this article, Goce Coffee will guide you through two simple ways to make egg coffee using either instant coffee or traditional Vietnamese drip coffee so you can confidently create the perfect cup of egg coffee at home.

What Is Egg Coffee?

Egg coffee is a beverage made from the delicate combination of strong black coffee and a thick, velvety cream made from whipped egg yolks. What makes this drink special is the rich, mildly sweet egg cream that perfectly balances the gentle bitterness of the coffee.

The origin of egg coffee dates back to 1946, associated with Mr. Nguyen Van Giang. During a time when fresh milk was scarce, he creatively used egg yolks as a substitute, giving birth to what later became a famous Hanoi specialty.

Ingredients

Main ingredients:

- Instant coffee: 15–20 g or Vietnamese ground coffee: 15–20 g

- Eggs: 1–2 egg yolks (use fresh eggs with deep-colored yolks)

- Sweetened condensed milk: 2–3 tablespoons

- Honey or sugar: 1–2 teaspoons

Tools:

- Electric mixer or hand whisk

- Small bowl

- Vietnamese coffee dripper (if using drip coffee)

- Heat-resistant glass

How to Make Egg Coffee with Instant Coffee

Step 1: Brew the coffee

- Add 15–20 g of instant coffee to a cup

- Pour in 40–60 ml of boiling water (90–95°C / 194–203°F) and stir well

- Let it cool for 2–3 minutes until warm

Step 2: Whip the egg mixture

- Separate the egg yolk and place it in a bowl with condensed milk and honey

- Whisk for 5–7 minutes in one direction at a steady speed

- The mixture is ready when it turns pale yellow and fluffy like cream

- Tip: Place the bowl over warm water to whip faster and achieve better foam

Step 3: Assemble

- Pour the coffee into a heat-resistant glass

- Gently spoon the egg cream on top

- Garnish with coffee powder or cocoa powder if desired

Time required: 10–15 minutes

How to Make Egg Coffee with Traditional Vietnamese Drip Coffee

Step 1: Brew the drip coffee

- Add 15–20 g of ground coffee into the phin and lightly press

- Pour a small amount of hot water (90–95°C / 194–203°F) to bloom the coffee (about 30 seconds)

- Fill the phin with hot water and let it drip for 5–7 minutes

- You will get 40–50 ml of strong coffee

Step 2: Whip the egg mixture

- Mix egg yolk with condensed milk and honey

- Whisk for 7–10 minutes until light and fluffy

- For drip coffee, slightly increase the condensed milk to balance the stronger bitterness

- Tip: Whipping over warm water helps the cream become smoother

Step 3: Combine and finish

- Pour the brewed coffee into a glass

- Add the egg cream layer on top

- Decorate as desired

Time required: 15–20 minutes

Tips for Making Perfect Egg Coffee

- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs with deep-colored yolks produce creamy egg foam without any eggy smell

- Ideal ratio: Egg yolk to condensed milk = 1 : 1.5–2

- Whip long enough: At least 5–7 minutes to achieve fluffiness and remove any raw egg odor

- Correct temperature: Coffee should be warm (60–70°C / 140–158°F), not too hot

- Serve immediately: Enjoy while warm for the best flavor

- How to drink: Gently stir so the egg cream blends with the coffee
