I believe the traditional way is you get a Vietnamese coffee filter. Viet people like the Cafe Du Monde brand and sweetened condensed milk because it closely replicates what they had from VN. All the stuff is easily available online these days (like Amazon) and there are now multiple brands to choose from.

It takes a long time but the coffee is really strong. If you just want to try it, any Vietnamese coffee shop or pho restaurant will have it. They usually give you the cup with the filter on top and you wait for it to finish, so you can check the coffee/condensed milk ratio that way and mess around with the filter to see how it works.

I usually just use a regular cone filter on weekdays because I'm short on time.
