Products

Which product lines does VINACANOFI currently offer?

There are three lines: Freeze-Dried Instant Coffee, Instant Durian Coffee and Roasted Coffee Beans. Each suits a different need: quick single-serve sachets, a new durian flavour, or brewing from beans yourself. See the full range at shop.vinacanofi.com.

What pack sizes are available?

Freeze-dried instant coffee: a box of 6 sachets × 3 g (trial) or 20 sachets × 3 g. Instant durian coffee: a box of 3 sachets × 16 g (trial) or 10 sachets × 16 g. Roasted coffee beans: a 500 g bag. The shop also offers Value bundles: 3 boxes × 20 sachets (freeze-dried), 3 boxes × 10 sachets (durian) or 2 bags × 500 g (roasted beans).

What does "freeze-dried" mean?

It is a way of drying coffee by freezing it and then removing moisture under vacuum, so the coffee becomes a dry product that dissolves for instant brewing and can be packed in small sachets. Just prepare it following the instructions printed on the pack.

What is in the Instant Durian Coffee?

It combines freeze-dried coffee with durian flavour. According to the label, it contains 1% real durian pulp powder and synthetic durian flavouring; the durian comes from Binh Phuoc. For sugar and other ingredients, please see the ingredient list printed on the pack.

What beans are in the Roasted Coffee Beans?

The Roasted Coffee Beans are 100% Robusta and Arabica, with no other varieties blended in, and carry the "A Grade" label. A Viet Tin test report records 99.5% good beans in the finished product of this line. The 500 g bag contains whole beans for you to grind for your chosen method.

Where does the coffee come from? What does "Since 1857" mean?

Our coffee comes from Vietnam's Central Highlands (Tay Nguyen) and our durian from Binh Phuoc. "Since 1857" refers to the year coffee arrived in Vietnam, according to industry historical records. It is a milestone for Vietnamese coffee, not the year our company was founded.

What certifications does VINACANOFI have?

The packing facility holds two certifications issued by VCA Certification on 19/11/2025, valid until 18/11/2028: HACCP (TCVN 5603:2023) No. VCA.2121.4A and ISO 22000:2018 No. VCA.2121.3A. These certify the facility, not the taste quality of any individual product.

Subscriptions

What is the Subscription plan and which lines does it cover?

It is a plan that delivers coffee every month, covering all three lines: freeze-dried, durian and roasted beans. View and order plans at shop.vinacanofi.com/subscription. Subscription plans appear only on that page, not on the regular retail page.

Is there a minimum commitment?

Yes. The minimum commitment is 3 months. You pay in advance every 3 months, so the price in the subscription cart covers 3 months of supply.

How do I pay for a subscription?

Subscriptions are paid in advance, once every 3 months. When your order is confirmed, and before each new period, the team sends you online payment instructions with the amount for that 3-month period.

When is a subscription delivered?

Deliveries run from the 25th to the 30th of each month. If you order between the 1st and 20th, you receive the delivery round of that same month; if you order after the 20th, you receive the following month's round. The team confirms the exact delivery timing.

Does the plan renew automatically after 3 months?

No. Subscriptions do not renew automatically and nothing is charged automatically. As your period nears its end, the VINACANOFI team will contact you to confirm whether you wish to continue.

How do I stop a subscription?

Simply let VINACANOFI know at info@vinacanofi.com, with your order number. Because subscriptions do not renew automatically, if you do not confirm a new period, your subscription ends after the 3-month period you have paid for.

Brewing & storage

How do I prepare the instant coffees (freeze-dried and durian)?

Follow the instructions printed on each product's pack. Both lines come in individual sachets, so they are easy to carry and prepare at home, in the office or while travelling. Water amount and strength vary with taste; the pack is the reference.

How do I brew the roasted beans with a Vietnamese phin?

Grind the beans medium and use water at about 90–96 °C. A common starting point is about 18–20 g of coffee for about 150 ml of water; bloom briefly, then let it drip. This is general brewing knowledge, so adjust to your taste.

Can I make cold brew from the roasted beans?

Yes. Grind the beans coarse, steep them in cold or room-temperature water, and refrigerate for about 12–24 hours, then strain out the grounds. A common ratio is about 1 part coffee to 8–10 parts water. Adjust to the strength you like.

What is the shelf life?

VINACANOFI products have a shelf life of 18 months from the date of manufacture. The manufacturing and expiry dates of each batch are printed on the packaging; to keep the flavour, store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and close tightly after opening.

How should I store the coffee?

Keep it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and heat. After opening a bag or sachet, close it tightly and use it soon to keep the aroma. Please also read the storage instructions printed on each pack.

How much caffeine is in a sachet or cup?

Caffeine information is printed on the packaging of each product. As general guidance, healthy adults are usually advised to stay under about 400 mg of caffeine a day (EFSA/FDA); children, teenagers and pregnant women should limit caffeine and ask their doctor.
