Hanoi Egg Coffee Making Class: Make Your Own

Make egg coffee the way Hanoi does, then drink what you've made

A hands-on egg coffee making class in Hanoi where you learn to prepare and whisk the drink step by step, make your own cup, and enjoy it with classmates over a fresh spring roll. The guide speaks English and teaches you how to choose quality coffee to suit your taste. The class runs about an hour and includes the spring roll and a drink of your choice.

The experience

You arrive at the starting point and meet the other people in your class. The guide introduces everyone and walks you through the ingredients that go into egg coffee: the coffee itself, eggs, and the technique that makes the drink distinctive. This is where you learn what separates a good cup from a mediocre one, and how to pick beans that match what you're after.

Then you make your own. The guide shows you the procedure step by step, explaining the amounts and the method, and you handle it yourself: whisking the egg mixture, combining it with the coffee, getting the texture right. It's hands-on from start to finish, not a demonstration you watch from a stool. Once you've made it, you sit down with the other people in the class and drink what you've made, paired with a fresh spring roll you choose (shrimp, beef, pork or chicken). Water or iced tea comes with it.

The whole thing takes about an hour. You leave knowing how to make the drink at home and what to look for when you're buying coffee: practical knowledge, not just a memory of watching someone else do it.
