You can get a "top hat" off Amazon for about $10-12. Go cheap unless you're hoity-toity; they all work the same.
Two tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk go in the cup & two tablespoons of dark roast, espresso roast, or Cafe du Monde (with chicory, it's the most authentic) go in the top hat. Bring one cup of water to a boil.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of boiling water to the grounds until they "bloom." (you'll know) drop the second screen on top (some screw down) and slowly pour the rest of the water in. Tap the top screen down & put the cover on until it all drips through.
Stir & pour into a glass full of ice.
It's really good. They serve it in Vietnamese restaurants, which we have a lot of here in south Texas. Go get yourself a nice bowl of pho & one of these to see if you like it or just go for it. Can of Cafe du Monde, squeeze bottle of sweetened condensed milk & a top hat will only set you back about $20 to give it a try. If you like iced coffee you'll LOVE it.
