Authentic Portuguese coffee since 1961

Delta Coffee Beans

Q: How to store Delta coffee beans to preserve their aromas?

Delta whole bean coffee retains its aroma for several months when stored correctly: Original packaging with its one-way valve: allows CO₂ to escape from the freshly roasted bean without letting in oxygen. Store in a dry place, away from light and heat sources (oven, coffee machine). Do NOT refrigerate: humidity and food odors will spoil the bean. Do NOT freeze: thawing creates condensation that damages the aromatic oils. Consume within 2 months of opening for the best freshness of your espresso.

Q: Delta Gran Espresso vs Gran Crema: what's the difference?

Two full-bodied Delta blends with distinct characteristics: Delta Gran Espresso — an Italian-style blend with a higher proportion of Robusta and a dark roast. It has a very intense body with notes of dark cocoa, blond tobacco, and spices. Ideal for those who want a powerful, Italian-style espresso. Delta Gran Crema — a blend specially designed to produce a dense and persistent crema. It has a balanced roast and is optimized for crema. It has a generous body with a smooth crema. Ideal for espresso or artistic cappuccino. Our advice: Gran Espresso if you're looking for aromatic intensity, Gran Crema if you prioritize the visual and textured presentation of the espresso (dense foam).

Q: Which Delta format should I choose: 500g, 1kg, 5kg, 10kg or 30kg?

The choice depends on your daily consumption: 500g — for beginners or a small household (1 person, 1-2 cups/day). Approximately 3-4 weeks of consumption. 1kg — standard size for a household of 2-3 people. Approximately 4-6 weeks. 5kg — small office, light catering (2-5 employees). Approximately 3 months. Savings ~15% per kg. 10kg — medium-sized office, restaurant. Approximately 5-6 months. Savings ~25%. 20kg / 30kg — HoReCa, hotels, large offices. Savings ~35% vs. 1kg. Note: For large professional sizes (10-30kg), plan for regular consumption (daily use) and storage in a cool, dry place. Coffee beans lose their aroma after opening.

Q: Which machine is best for preparing Delta coffee beans?

Delta coffee beans are designed to be freshly ground at the time of extraction: 1. Coffee machine with integrated grinder — the most convenient. A single appliance grinds and prepares the espresso. See our grinder machines. Ideal for home, small office, or restaurant. 2. Espresso machine + separate grinder — the purist setup. A dedicated grinder allows for fine grind adjustment according to the blend and maximum freshness. Recommended for baristas and discerning HoReCa establishments. Delta Cafés is the coffee of choice for many Portuguese restaurants and HoReCa establishments, both in Portugal and abroad: its blends are designed for countertop espresso.

Delta coffee beans in 90 seconds

Delta Cafés was founded in 1961 in Campo Maior, a small village in the Alentejo region of Portugal, when Rui Nabeiro —a young, visionary entrepreneur—established his first roastery in the back room of his family's grocery store. His ambition: to offer the Portuguese people high-quality, artisanal coffee at a fair price, slowly using traditional methods. This vision permanently transformed the coffee industry in Portugal.

Today, Delta Cafés has been the leader in roasted coffee in Portugal for over twenty years, and is present in more than 40 countries . The Nabeiro Group — still 100% family-owned — employs more than 4,000 people and embodies a unique model of social capitalism : strong commitment to the development of Campo Maior, training of producers, fair trade, and social projects financed by the company.

At Cafemalin, we stock the complete Delta coffee bean range : Delta Gold (absolute best-seller, balanced blend of Portuguese tradition, chocolate and dried fruit notes, 1 kg at €24.50), Delta Platinum (high-end selection, premium roast, generous body), Delta Gran Espresso (Italian-style blend, more intense, dense in crema), Delta Gran Crema (smooth and persistent crema), and Delta Chavena (aromatic traditional Portuguese blend).

For single-origin coffee lovers , we also offer Delta Brazil (with chocolate and peanut notes) and Delta Colombia (with fruity and tangy notes) in 500g bags. For professionals—restaurants, hotels, cafés, and offices—our 5kg , 10kg , 20kg , and 30kg pro packs offer significant savings per kilo, with the same authentic slow roasting.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions our customers ask most often.

What is the difference between Delta Cafés Gold and Delta Platinum?

These are the two signature blends in the Delta whole bean coffee range, with different positioning:

Delta Cafés Gold — our absolute best-seller with over 21,000 customers. A balanced blend of Arabica and Robusta beans, traditionally grown in Portugal, medium roast, with notes of chocolate, dried fruit, and toast. Full-bodied with a rich crema. Affordably priced (€24.50 per kilo). The perfect choice for discovering Delta.

Delta Platinum — premium blend . A blend ofCentral American Arabica and Asian Robusta, slow and naturally roasted, it has the same intensity (8/10) as the Gold but a rounder, smoother, and longerwith notes of ripe fruit, caramel, and chocolate. Sold in 500g bags (1kg bags and multipacks contain several bags). Recommended for tasting or a premium experience.

Our advice : Gold for a direct and chocolatey daily espresso, Platinum for a smoother and longer cup.

How to store Delta coffee beans to preserve their aromas?

Delta coffee beans retain their aromas for several months provided they are stored correctly:

Original packaging with its one-way valve: allows CO₂ to escape from the freshly roasted grain without letting oxygen in.

Do NOT refrigerate : humidity and food odors alter the grain.
Do NOT freeze : thawing creates condensation which damages the aromatic oils.
Consume within 2 months of opening for an espresso at its peak of freshness.
