Who exactly is Delta Cafés?
Delta Cafés is the benchmark Portuguese coffee roaster — founded in 1961 in Campo Maior, in the Alentejo region (south-eastern Portugal), by Rui Nabeiro. Now present in more than 40 countries, Delta has been Portugal's coffee market leader for over twenty years. The company remains family-owned and independent, with a strong commitment to sustainability (part of the range is Rainforest Alliance certified; the Alice Nabeiro educational centre is in Campo Maior). An authentic Portuguese roasting style — rounded, mellow and less bitter than Italian blends.
Who exactly is this 500 g pack for?
For individual coffee enthusiasts / those discovering Portuguese coffee / small offices / gifts:
- Individual coffee enthusiasts — home espresso machine (Delonghi, Sage, Jura), 1–2 coffees a day; the 500 g pack is ideal.
- Discovering Portuguese coffee — an alternative to the usual Italian blends, to try before buying the 1 kg pack.
- Small offices — microbusinesses, agencies, 2–5 people.
- A gift for coffee enthusiasts — a taster pack to give alongside other Delta blends for a comparative tasting.
Is it suitable for milk-based drinks and lungo?
Excellent. The honey and red berry notes of Signature Crema pair well with the sweetness of heated milk — cappuccino, café com leite (a Portuguese speciality), galão, latte macchiato. Its balanced body comes through the milk without being overwhelmed. Also suitable for a lungo of 80–100 ml: the blend handles a longer extraction without becoming watery.
How should I store the 500 g pack to preserve freshness?
As long as the pack remains in its original sealed condition, it will keep until the date shown on the packaging. Store it at room temperature, away from light — do not refrigerate. Once opened, reseal it carefully or transfer the beans to an opaque, airtight jar, and ideally use them within 3 to 4 weeks: the 500 g pack is well suited to individual consumption.
