Phin coffee filter

Phin coffee means waiting. Grounds in the filter, press the lid down, add a splash of boiling water to let it bloom, then fill it up and watch the jet-black drops fall onto the condensed milk at the bottom of the glass.

Dad sat on a plastic stool at the mouth of the alley with his newspaper, waiting for the drip. Kids did not care about coffee at all; they just hovered around hoping to scrape out the last of the condensed milk tin, sweet enough to make your teeth ache.

Do you remember? How old were you when you had your first coffee?
