Brewing Coffee with a Chorreador

Costa Rica is known as the coffee capital of Latin America. In the five plus years that I've lived here, I've sampled dozens of varieties and can heartily confirm this well-deserved reputation for rich java. For a traditional taste of this local delicacy, try using a chorreador: Costa Rica's simple method for making coffee. This old-fashioned system yields strong flavor without the hassle of paper filters.
