Local operator · Poás and Hacienda Alsacia
A semi-private trip that pairs the Poás crater with Hacienda Alsacia, the coffee farm and visitor center Starbucks runs on the volcano's slopes, in about six hours. Pick it for the small group and the short day, with the crater and the coffee in one outing.
This is the shorter, smaller version of the coffee-and-crater day. The listing is semi-private and tagged small group, it runs about six hours, and its web address mentions breakfast and a visit to Hacienda Alsacia. Starbucks bought the farm in 2013, when it grew coffee and ornamental ferns, and opened a visitor center there in 2018; it covers about 240 hectares on the slopes of Poás (Starbucks). The farm's own tour lasts about 90 minutes and ends with a tasting on a patio above the coffee fields (a visitor's account).
The listing also carries a skip-the-line tag. At Poás that counts for little. SINAC sells timed entry online only, every visitor has a slot, and every group gets the same 20 minutes at the viewpoint (Tico Times). What matters is the time of that slot, since cloud usually fills the crater by 10:30 or 11:00. Ask for it before you pay, and check on the listing whether pickup, the park ticket and breakfast are part of the price.
The listing gives the pickup or meeting point and the start time.
Ranger briefing, helmets on, the paved path of about 700 metres and 20 minutes at the viewpoint.
The Starbucks farm on the slopes of Poás: coffee fields, processing and a tasting, with an open-air café.
About six hours in total, the listing says.

It is Starbucks' own coffee farm on the slopes of Poás, bought in 2013 and opened to visitors in 2018, with a visitor center, a café and a farm tour of about 90 minutes.
Not much. Entry is by timed slot booked online with SINAC, and every group gets 20 minutes at the viewpoint. The slot time matters far more than the line.
The listing's web address mentions breakfast, so it looks likely. Check the inclusions on the listing for what it covers and where it is served.
About six hours, the listing says, which leaves the rest of the afternoon free.
