Delta Cafés Gold Coffee Beans 500g — Arabica & Robusta from Portugal

Whole bean coffee is more stable than ground coffee, but remains sensitive to air, humidity, and light. After opening, carefully reseal the bag (using the Delta heat-sealable strip) or transfer the beans to an airtight, opaque container. Store at room temperature (18-22°C), away from light and any heat source. Avoid the refrigerator, where the coffee will absorb moisture and odors. A sealed 500g bag will keep until the indicated best-before date (generally 18-24 months from roasting). Once opened, ideally consume within 3 to 4 weeks for optimal flavor.

The grind must be adapted to the extraction method :

• Espresso / grinder machine : fine grind (fine sand texture that compacts). Extraction 25-30 s per 30 mL.
• Filter coffee maker / Italian moka pot : medium grind (beach sand texture). Extraction time 4-5 min.
• French Press / piston : coarse (semolina texture). Infuse for 4 minutes, then press slowly.
• Chemex / V60 : medium-coarse grind , ratio 60 g / L.

If your grind is too fine for this method, the coffee will be too bitter (over-extraction). Too coarse, and the coffee will be acidic and weak (under-extraction). Since the Delta Gold bag contains whole beans, you can adjust the grind as desired with a grinder.

Yes, Delta Gold is perfectly suited to automatic bean-to-cup machines with integrated 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 will automatically adjust the grind and pressure. On mid-range machines, set the grind selector to medium-fine (4-6/10) for a rich, creamy espresso. The Arabica-Robusta blend produces a dense, long-lasting crema that compensates well for machines without pre-infusion. Estimated yield: ~55 cups per 500g bag at 9g per extraction.

The three iconic Delta blends reflect different Arabica-Robusta balances and intensities :

• Delta Gold — intensity 8/10, balanced Arabica-Robusta blend, notes of chocolate and dried fruit. best-selling , versatile coffee (espresso + filter + moka).
• Delta Platinum — intensity 7/10, predominantly Arabica, milder roast, floral and red fruit notes. For lovers of a more refined and rounded coffee.
• Delta Gran Espresso — intensity 10/10, professional Ho.Re.Ca. blend with a Robusta base, very full-bodied, very thick crema. Designed for high-volume, high-speed extractions.

At Cafemalin, these three blends are available in whole bean and groundform, in 250g / 500g / 1kg sizes / packs up to 30kg. Gold remains the default choice for a first Delta purchase.

The yield depends on the dosage per cup :

• Strong espresso (7g/cup) : ~71 cups per 500g bag.
• Standard espresso (9g/cup) : ~55 cups per 500g bag.
• Long coffee / lungo (10 g/cup) : ~50 cups per 500g bag.
• Filter coffee maker (60 g / L, i.e. 12 g per 200 mL) : ~41 cups per 500g bag.

For typical household use of 4 cups per day , a 500g bag of Delta Gold lasts between 2 and 3 weeks . For more intensive use (office, restaurant), consider the 5kg pack at 35% off or the 10kg pack .

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

• Burr grinder (conical or flat) — recommended. Consistent grind, adjustable, preserves aromas. Entry-level models from €50-80 (Timemore, 1Zpresso, Hario).
• Blade grinder (helix) — functional but less precise. Uneven grind (mixture of coarse and fine), less consistent extraction. Suitable for filter coffee makers and French presses; not recommended for espresso.

Tip: Grind only the amount you need (ground coffee oxidizes in 15 minutes). If your grinder is electric, let it cool between grinds to prevent heat from degrading the aromas.
