Interesante.


Explanation:
En México, maquilar significa subcontratar, pero veo que la traducción es: "to extract the toll (in corn or grain) for grinding at a mill." Eso ya tiene sentido en tu frase. Es decir, maquilar, aquí, es procesar el grano de café: quitarle la pulpa, secarlo, tostarlo. Claro, no es "to manufacture", más bien "to process".
Suerte.

agree  Henry Hinds: Buena la explicación, poca gente conoce el origen de la palabra, aunque sigue vigente en México en el campo, a la antigüita.

  -> Pues quedó al descubierto mi ignorancia... pero ahora ya es menos. Gracias, paisa.
agree  Margarita Gonzalez: Moliner define: Maquilar cobrar maquila o moler cobrándola". Y maquila:" ...porción de grano o aceite que se paga por la molienda". Creo que de ahí nació el sentido mexicano.
