Coffee culture at home
Simple equipment, direct connection.
The chorreador takes its name from chorrear—to drip or pour. For generations, Costa Rican households have prepared coffee by placing ground coffee in a cloth bolsita and pouring hot water through it by hand.
The method is tactile, reusable and easy to understand. The Plinc stand gives the traditional format a clean, practical structure and can be adjusted for different cups or serving vessels.
Brew recommendation
A clear starting point for café chorreado.
Rinse the cloth filter with hot water before brewing, then adjust coffee, grind and pouring speed to taste.
Filter care
Empty the grounds promptly, rinse the cloth thoroughly and follow the filter maker’s care instructions before storing.
Adjust the cup
Set the stand height so the filter sits comfortably above your cup or server without touching the brewed coffee.
