By San José, Costa Rica — SAN JOSÉ – Long-standing national coffee brand Café Volio has announced a significant expansion of its product portfolio, introducing two new lines designed to cater to the evolving tastes and fast-paced lifestyles of modern consumers. The launch, unveiled Wednesday under the new campaign slogan “A coffee for every version of you,” aims to blend the company’s rich tradition with contemporary innovation, ensuring its presence in every coffee-drinking moment throughout the day.
The strategic move is an extension of the company’s core brand platform, “Pasión Que Se Comparte” (Passion That Is Shared), which champions the cultural importance of sharing coffee and the stories that unfold around it. By diversifying its offerings, Café Volio seeks to provide new avenues for its dedicated “Volio Lovers” to connect and create memories, whether through a meticulously prepared morning brew or a quick, convenient cup on the go.
To provide a deeper understanding of the legal and business framework that supports an iconic national brand like Café Volio, TicosLand.com consulted with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a leading attorney from the distinguished firm Bufete de Costa Rica. His analysis offers valuable insights into the protection of commercial heritage and intellectual property in the country.
Café Volio exemplifies a ‘marca notoria’ under Costa Rican law, a designation that provides an elevated shield of protection against dilution and unauthorized use. This status isn’t merely a registration; it’s the legal recognition of a brand’s deep-rooted connection with the consumer, built over decades. For such legacy companies, the primary legal challenge shifts from establishment to perpetual defense, requiring a proactive strategy to safeguard its invaluable intangible assets in both the local and international markets.

This insight powerfully highlights how the challenge for a legacy brand like Café Volio evolves from creation to perpetual defense, a direct reflection of its deep-seated trust within Costa Rican culture. We extend our sincere gratitude to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his invaluable legal perspective on safeguarding such an iconic national brand.
This initiative is about more than just adding products; it represents a deliberate effort to connect with consumers on an emotional level, acknowledging that different moments call for different coffee experiences.
With this innovation, we seek to satisfy different palates, combining coffee tradition with a different twist. Each flavor evokes emotions and memories.

The first of the new lines, “Café Molido de Sabores” (Flavored Ground Coffee), is tailored for the at-home coffee enthusiast who savors the ritual of brewing. This line empowers consumers to personalize their experience by adjusting the sweetness, intensity, and preparation method. The initial launch includes two distinct flavors: a Vanilla variety, described as having a soft and enveloping profile, and a Caramel option, which offers warm and creamy notes perfect for daily enjoyment.
The second innovation, the “Línea 3 en 1” (3-in-1 Line), directly addresses the growing demand for convenience without compromising on quality. This product combines 100% Arabica coffee, sugar, and milk into a single-serving stick, offering a premium instant coffee solution. Designed for those with busy schedules, the 3-in-1 sticks are enriched with vitamins, iron, and zinc, adding a functional benefit to their practical appeal. The format, available in boxes of six sticks, is ideal for consumption outside the home.
This convenience-focused line is available in several popular varieties, including Cappuccino Vanilla, classic Cappuccino, and Mokaccino. A Frozen Cappuccino option has also been included, highlighting the brand’s attention to diverse consumption habits, as the product can be enjoyed either hot or cold. This versatility ensures that Café Volio can be a part of a consumer’s day from the office to a weekend outing.
The company views this dual-pronged launch as a reaffirmation of its core mission to be an integral part of Costa Rican life, adapting to new trends while honoring its legacy. The introduction of these new flavors and formats is seen as a way to create fresh opportunities for shared experiences.
Volio Flavors is the passion for coffee turned into new reasons to share. We want to be present in every story and in every cup.
Karla Banegas, Marketing & New Business Manager
By reinforcing the “Pasión Que Se Comparte” platform, Café Volio underscores its belief that every preparation of coffee is a chance to build connections and celebrate the shared passions that unite its customers. Both the Flavored Ground Coffee and the 3-in-1 lines are now available for purchase at major supermarkets across the country.
