I would get a cab and tell them to take you to the Britt factory (about 30 mins) take a tour and sip some coffee - better for your liverhttp://www.flyertalk.com/tongue.gif
This would be lower on my list. Not really Costa Rican IMO. So a Gringo named Steve Aronson moves to Costa Rica, buys some coffee beans, roasts/grinds them, then packages it with the label Britt (later buys some acreage), names the label after his favorite actress Britt Eklund.

The movie The Bobo must have had a real impact on him. Get it?...The Bobo as in a bobo, the movie also starred Britt Eklund with Peter Sellers playing the bobo. Oh man! I crack myelf up

BTW, you can buy a bag of the coffee at the airport. It's quite good. See if you can pick up the Tarrazu variant.
