It was Fabio Montero, a bank clerk from Costa Rica, who started the commercialization of this coffee in bags. These are very similar, if not the same as those used for tea. The new idea arose from several anecdotes that happened in Montero's own workplace. Various setbacks when preparing coffee in your spare time, such as the breakage of some of the parts of the coffee maker or the appearance of cockroach eggs in the machine itself, made the workers decide to purchase the coffee already prepared.
But this caused another problem, which was that the drink did not always have the right flavor, as the quality was not the best. All this led Montero to discover a great business opportunity. This was to prepare coffee in the same way that tea was taken. In this way he decided to take the path of entrepreneurship and start Coffee Infusion, the company that launched the innovative coffee in sachets.
