Just a simple discovery to share today-the wonderful coffee of Costa Rica is traditionally brewed using a simple bag sewn on a twisted wire frame-it costs about .50 cents, and makes a great cup of coffee! I know the trend for simple coffee has been on the rise in San Francisco, with companies like Blue Bottle (http://bluebottlecoffee.net/) leading the way, but meanwhile, here in Costa Rica the trend never went anywhere!
This reminds me of an article in Forbes about the cycle of trends; people tend to mimic and follow others right out of their financial comfort zone as they develop more and more expensive tastes by watching the people around them. Eventually, things reach a breaking point, and then we tend to follow the social trend toward frugality too-right now it's trendy to flaunt your frugality!
Well, don't do it because it's a trend, but I would highly recomend you try a nice cup of simple coffee brewed with the simplest means possible..Pura Vida!
