Vandola's by Minor Alfaro with Ceramic Mugs

The Authentic Vandola, Handmade by Its Inventor Minor Alfaro

For generations, coffee-growing countries brewed with methods invented somewhere else. The Vandola changed that. Costa Rican barista Minor Alfaro designed it in 2015 at his café in Coronado, Costa Rica. The original source of the design he patented in 2016. Each one carries the "Vandola" stamp on the handle and "Costa Rica" on the body. Tico Grounds is one of the only companies in the United States licensed to sell authentic Vandolas.

Why it tastes different!
Stays hot longer - Thick clay walls hold heat for about 30 minutes, so the last cup is as warm as the first.
- Breathes as it brews - A small vent below the cone lets air into the coffee as it drips, bringing out aroma, sweetness and a brighter, cleaner cup.
- Built for pouring - A sturdy handle and a narrow spout make serving easy, whether it's one cup or a full pot for the table.
