Torrefactores

Convertir la cereza en polvo mágico que se expande en todos los rincones habitados por los amantes del café, es la labor de los torrefactores de Costa Rica, quienes desde 1920 industrializaron el proceso casero de tostar el grano y molerlo, para obtener esa bebida famosa.

Pero es en 1923 cuando se establece la primera industria torrefactora, la cual perdura hasta nuestros días: Café Volio. A ésta le siguieron Café Rey, en 1953, y Café Dorado, un año después. Más adelante se unieron nuevos torrefactores, hasta sumar las 73 empresas que se encuentran registradas actualmente.

Hoy, el sector torrefactor está consolidado en la cadena de producción del café de Costa Rica y juega un papel sumamente importante, pues tiene relación con los otros sectores de la actividad cafetalera, al recibir el producto de los beneficios y procesarlo, para comercializarlo en el mercado interno o para exportarlo molido.

Para el mercado nacional, abastecido casi en un 100 por ciento por la torrefacción costarricense, se produce café molido de dos modalidades, uno puro y otro mezclado con hasta 10 por ciento de azúcar. Este último, ha sido el preferido por los costarricenses, quienes lo consumen en un 70 por ciento de las veces, si bien el gusto por la pureza ha ganado terreno en los últimos tiempos, gracias a un refinamiento del gusto y una oferta cada vez más amplia de cafés especiales.
