This is a coffee-related question.

jmpava and I go to this pho place called Than Brothers (really good!), and one of the things we always get is the coffee-with-condensed-milk. It comes out like this: a glass with condensed milk in the bottom, and then, at the top, a little metal thing containing the coffee grounds (how finely ground I don't know) and water. Slowly, over the course of maybe 5 mintues, the coffee drains out of the little metal thing (which has a perforated bottom) and into the cup. Then you remove the metal thing, stir, and drink. The little metal coffee-containing thing looks kind of like a top hat.

It makes really, really awesome coffee. (How awesome? jmpava orders it eagerly. That awesome.) Does anyone know what it's called? I'd love to order one for myself, but I don't know what to search for, and googling 'metal coffee hat' has not turned up anything useful (shocking!).

Yay! Thank you. Mmmmm, Vietnamese coffee. And pho. Yum. (I'd be hungry now if I hadn't just eaten.)
