Flavour profile
Delta Cafés Signature Intense is the most full-bodied blend in Delta's Signature range. The brand blends African Robustas with Central and South American Arabicas for a flavoursome and balanced cup with a pronounced body and lingering flavour.
In the cup: notes of vanilla and dried fruit; Delta's published sensory profile also includes caramel and roasted hazelnut. Intensity 13 on Delta's scale of 15, equivalent to 9/10 on our product pages: a coffee designed for the espresso machine.
The more rounded Delta Signature Crema 500 g completes the Signature range (honey and red berry notes); at the same intensity, Delta Ritual 500 g focuses on red berries and chocolate.

Frequently asked questions
What sets Signature Intense apart from other Delta coffee beans?
Three key points:
- Its intensity — 13 on Delta's scale of 15, like Ritual: the most full-bodied coffees in our Delta coffee bean selection.
- Its blend — African Robustas for body, Central and South American Arabicas for aroma; the Brazil and Colombia single-origin coffees, by contrast, are 100% Arabica.
- Its profile — a full-bodied yet balanced cup, with notes of vanilla and dried fruit.
How does it differ from Delta Signature Crema 500g?
The two products in Delta's Signature range have complementary profiles:
- Signature Intense (this product) — African Robustas and Central and South American Arabicas, full-bodied and balanced, with notes of vanilla and dried fruit. Intensity 9/10.
- Signature Crema — Asian Robustas and Arabicas from the Americas, sublime and balanced, with notes of honey and red berries. Intensity 6/10.
Is it suitable for slow brewing methods (V60, French Press)?
Less suitable. Delta intends it for the espresso machine: with slow brewing methods, this full-bodied coffee produces a cup dominated by body rather than aromatic finesse.
For slow brewing methods, choose a 100% Arabica single-origin coffee instead: Delta Colombia 500g (mild and velvety, with citrus notes) or Delta Brazil 500g (mild and fruity).
Is it recommended for cappuccino or latte?
A very good choice — its body comes through heated and frothed milk well: your cappuccino or latte retains pronounced espresso notes, along with the blend's vanilla and dried fruit notes.
How should I store it?
Reseal the bag tightly after each use, or transfer the beans to an opaque, airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place away from light (a pantry), never in the fridge. Once opened, use within 3 to 4 weeks.
