Delta Cafés Gold coffee beans 500 g

Coffee beans are more stable than ground coffee, but remain sensitive to air, moisture and light. After opening, carefully reseal the bag with a clip or transfer the beans to an opaque, airtight jar and store at room temperature, away from light and heat sources. Avoid the fridge, where the coffee would absorb moisture and odours. An unopened bag keeps until the best-before date printed on the packaging. Once opened, ideally use within 3 to 4 weeks for optimum aroma.

The grind must be suited to the brewing method:

• Espresso / bean-to-cup machine: fine grind (a fine sand texture that compacts). Extraction time: 25–30 s for 30 mL.
• Filter coffee machine / Italian moka pot: medium grind (beach sand texture). Extraction time: 4–5 min.
• French press / cafetière: coarse grind (semolina texture). Steep for 4 min, then press down slowly.
• Chemex / V60: medium-coarse grind, ratio 60 g/L.

If your grind is too fine for the brewing method, the coffee will be too bitter (over-extraction). Too coarse = tangy, weak coffee (under-extraction). As Delta Gold comes as whole beans, you can adjust the grind as you wish using a grinder.

Yes, Delta Gold is perfectly suited to automatic bean-to-cup machines with built-in grinders: Philips (LatteGo, 2200–5500), De'Longhi (Magnifica, Dinamica, Eletta), Jura (E, S, Z, ENA, GIGA), Melitta (Caffeo, Barista, LatteSelect), Krups (Evidence, Intuition), Saeco, etc. Simply pour the beans into the top hopper; the machine adjusts the grind and pressure. On mid-range machines, set the grind selector to medium-fine (4–6 / 10) for an espresso with a rich crema. The Arabica-Robusta blend develops a dense, lasting crema that works well to compensate for machines without pre-infusion. Estimated yield: ~55 cups per 500 g bag using 9 g per extraction.

Two Delta blends rated 8/10 on our product pages, with distinct profiles:

• Delta Gold — African Robustas and Central American Arabicas, a pure, balanced cup with notes of honey, ripe fruit and toasted almonds. Delta's versatile bestseller (espresso, filter, moka pot).
• Delta Platinum — Central American Arabica and Asian Robusta, slowly and naturally roasted for a smooth cup with a lingering finish and notes of ripe fruit, caramel and chocolate.

At Cafemalin, both are available in 500 g bags, 1 kg packs (two bags) and packs of 5 to 30 kg. Gold remains the default choice for a first Delta purchase.

The yield depends on the dose per cup:

• Short espresso (7 g/cup) : ~71 cups per 500 g bag.
• Standard espresso (9 g/cup) : ~55 cups per 500 g bag.
• Long coffee / lungo (10 g/cup) : ~50 cups per 500 g bag.
• Filter coffee machine (60 g/l, equivalent to 12 g per 200 ml) : ~41 cups per 500 g bag.

For a typical household drinking 4 cups a day, a 500 g bag of Delta Gold lasts between 2 and 3 weeks. For heavier use (offices, catering), consider the 5 kg pack or the 10 kg pack.

Yes, a home coffee grinder is perfectly suitable for Delta Gold — the type of grinder matters more than its price:

• Burr grinder (conical or flat) — recommended. Consistent, adjustable grind that preserves aromas. Entry-level models are available from Timemore, 1Zpresso or Hario.
• Blade grinder (propeller) — works but is less precise. Uneven grind (a mixture of coarse and fine particles), less consistent extraction. Suitable for filter coffee machines and French press; avoid for espresso.

Tip: only grind as much as you need (ground coffee quickly loses its aromas). If your grinder is electric, let it cool down between grinding sessions to prevent heat from damaging the aromas.
