While staying in Da Nang, I stumbled upon this café on Google Maps. The open, modern look caught my eye, so I decided to check it out. That café was 43 Factory Coffee Roaster (XLIII COFFEE).

When I went to order, the staff explained: “We only use imported beans.”
That surprised me—after all, Vietnam is one of the world’s top coffee exporters. I had simply assumed they’d use local beans. But this commitment to imported coffee turned out to be one of the most memorable parts of my experience.

The crowd was predominantly foreign—Western and Chinese travelers working on laptops. It felt more like a co-working space than a typical Vietnamese café. And with fluent English-speaking staff, international visitors will feel right at home.

When I asked why the coffee was so pricey, the staff explained it’s due to the rarity and quality of the imported beans. It’s more than coffee—it’s a curated tasting experience.

☕ My Experience Tasting Indian Beans

I tried the Indian beans brewed as a Filter coffee—one of three methods offered (Shot / Filter / Milk-based).

The coffee was served in a beaker-like container, giving the experience a science-lab vibe. Don’t expect a large mug—the beaker is the full serving size here.

The taste? Clean and subtle in aroma. As someone used to strong Vietnamese coffee, it didn’t wow me, but it did open my mind to a whole new side of coffee appreciation.

🧠 A Memory from 2012 in Dak Lak

This experience triggered a memory from 2012, deep in the mountains of Krông Năng District, Dak Lak Province.

I visited a café called Cà Phê Tuyết Tình, surrounded by coffee farms. The coffee I drank there—small, thick, espresso-like—was the most powerful I’ve ever had. I remember feeling tipsy after just two tiny cups.

It reminded me that coffee isn’t just about taste—it’s also about where and how you experience it.
