A chorreador is a popular brewing device used for over two hundred years in Costa Rica to create world famous coffee.

It is built of a wooden stand that holds the coffee cup or pot and a cloth filter held open by a wire or rim. To brew, ground beans are placed in the cloth bag and hot water is poured over them.

Rinse out the chorreador after each use. NEVER use soap to wash the bolsita. Instead, gently rinse the device and let it air dry. Note: don’t worry if the filter begins to turn brown, this stain is totally natural and to be expected.

Once a week, clean the chorreador with salt. Run the bolsita underwater then pour a handful into it and rub it in. Make sure to rinse the filter thoroughly before letting it dry.

If the filter starts to look very dirty replace it. Bolsitas can last anywhere from three months to three years.
