Brew 2 cups of strong coffee using your preferred method (French press, drip machine, or espresso). Allow it to cool to room temperature or refrigerate until chilled.
In a small bowl or mixing cup, combine the low sodium sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding up to 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar, if desired, stirring until dissolved.
Fill two tall glasses with 3/4 cup of ice cubes each.
Divide the cooled coffee evenly between the two glasses, filling each one about two-thirds of the way full.
Pour the coconut milk mixture over the coffee in each glass, filling to the brim. Stir gently to combine.
Serve immediately with a straw or a long spoon for stirring.
