Flavour profile
Delta Cafés Platinum is the premium blend from Portuguese coffee company Delta. Delta describes it as a blend of Central American Arabica, which brings aromatic finesse and sweetness, and Asian Robusta, which provides body and lasting crema. Slowly and naturally roasted in Campo Maior (Alentejo, Portugal), using the company's own method since 1961.
In the cup: an espresso with an intense body and a mild, lingering flavour, dense hazelnut-coloured crema and notes of ripe fruit, caramel and chocolate. Noticeable but well-integrated acidity, restrained bitterness. Alongside Delta Gold, with its notes of honey and ripe fruit, Platinum is the range's smooth, elegant cup.
1 kg pack = 2 bags of 500 g, the same bag as the individual Delta Platinum 500 g pack, each sealed with a degassing valve: one opened bag goes into the bean hopper while the other retains its aromas. Makes ~143 short espressos (7 g), or 5 to 6 weeks for a household drinking 4 cups a day — saving −19% compared with the two bags bought separately.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Delta Platinum and Delta Gold?
Two iconic Delta blends with the same intensity of 8/10 but distinct characters:
- Delta Platinum (this product) — Delta's premium blend: Central American Arabica and Asian Robusta, slow and natural roasting, notes of ripe fruit, caramel and chocolate, a rounded, mild cup with a long finish.
- Delta Gold 1 kg — Delta's signature blend, African Robustas and Central American Arabicas, with notes of honey, ripe fruit and toasted almonds. The versatile bestseller, also available in 2 bags of 500 g.
Our advice: Platinum for savouring a rounded cup with a long finish, Gold for versatile everyday use.
Does the 1 kg pack come in a single bag?
No: Delta Platinum 1 kg consists of two bags of 500 g, the same as the individual 500 g pack, each sealed with its own degassing valve. This helps preserve freshness: one bag goes into the bean hopper while the other stays sealed until needed. The price per kilo on this page is compared with that of the two bags bought separately — saving −19% at current prices.
Is it suitable for entry-level bean-to-cup machines?
Yes, Delta Platinum works with all bean-to-cup machines, including entry-level models (De'Longhi Magnifica S, Philips 3200 series, Melitta Caffeo). The Asian Robusta in the blend produces a dense, stable crema, and slow roasting limits oily residue in the grinder. Recommended settings: medium-fine grind, 8–9 g dose, water at 92°C, extraction time 25–30 s.
How many cups can I make with 1 kg (2 bags of 500 g)?
Standard yield: ~143 cups using 7 g (short espresso), or ~71 per bag, or ~111 cups using 9 g (standard espresso). A household drinking 4 cups a day: 5–6 weeks. An office of 10 people drinking 2 coffees each: ~1 week.
How should I store my Delta Platinum beans?
The best before date is printed on each bag. Unopened bags: store in a dry place at 18–22°C, away from light. Open only one bag at a time: once resealed airtight or transferred to an airtight opaque jar, the beans are best used within 3 to 4 weeks. Do not refrigerate or freeze: condensation damages the beans.
Is Platinum certified organic or Fairtrade?
No: Delta Platinum is a selected premium blend, but not a certified organic or Fairtrade coffee. For a Delta coffee that is specifically organic and decaffeinated, see Harvest Collection Bio Décaféiné 500 g.
