hi neighbor. brother joe from denton, here.
do you have a vietnamese coffee filter (ca phe phin)? they sell them at most asian grocery stores. otherwise, i'd use a moka pot-- else you will not get the coffee taste you're looking for.
another word of caution: most coffee from Vietnam is rather poor quality robusta. no offense to you friend, and not saying this is the case with yours. it's a generous and kind gift. but if may affect the flavor too. of course, by way of comparison, buy an iced coffee (how it's typically served-- ca phe sua da) from a vietnamese restaurant and see how they do it.
that being said, it's one of my favorite methods. beats a frap hands down.

if Legendee is that cheap, I think I'm gonna try it...
You will not be sorry, it has a definite chocolate taste and a velvety texture when made in the traditional fashion. When you buy it make sure you get a vietnamese coffee filter as well so that it can be made traditionally.
Here is a link to the method...
