Delta Q is the capsule brand launched in 2007 by Delta Cafés, a brand belonging to the Portuguese Nabeiro , founded in 1961 in Campo Maior by Rui Nabeiro and a leader in roasted coffee in Portugal for over twenty years. Delta Q itself became the leading capsule brand in Portugal in 2012 and embodies unique Portuguese expertise in the world of capsules.
The Intensity classifies each blend by a number: at Cafemalin, from QONVICTUS N°5, classic and balanced, with notes of caramel and chocolate, toUNIQ N°16, the highest level ever offered by the brand. In between, there'sAQTIVUS N°8, intense and stimulating, QHARACTER N°9 with notes of caramel and dried fruit, the iconic QALIDUS N°10 (the range's best-seller), QHARISMA N°12,EPIQ N°14 , and MYTHIQ N°15, with notes of cocoa and hints of raspberry.

Delta Q stands out for its consistency: at Campo Maior, green coffee beans are tasted daily by experts before being roasted and blended. The blends combine Arabica and Robusta beans from Africa, the Americas, and Asia (Angola, Cameroon, and Honduras for Qalidus No. 10). The capsule consists of a plastic body and an aluminum lid, both recyclable once separated.

Delta Q capsules are produced in Portugal, in Campo Maior (Alentejo), the birthplace of the Nabeiro group: the green coffees are tasted there daily by tasters, then roasted and blended.

For Delta Q, intensity refers to the strength of the coffee's flavor, which depends on the amount of ground coffee, the roast level, and the type of beans: the higher the number, the stronger the espresso. At Cafemalin, the range goes from No. 5 to No. 16.
The single-origin coffees (Brazil 9, Colombia 8, Jamaica 8) and the specialty coffees (Bio 7, Canela 7, Double Shot 13 with ginseng and guarana) follow the same scale.
