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.
The 500 g bag is the introductory size and also the individual unit used throughout the Platinum range: the 1 kg size contains two bags, while the 5 to 30 kg multipacks contain ten to sixty. Yield: ~71 cups of short espresso (7 g), equivalent to 2 to 3 weeks for a household drinking 4 cups a day.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose the 500 g bag rather than the 1 kg pack?
The 500 g bag is the introductory size:
- Try the blend before moving on to a larger size.
- Light consumption (1–2 cups a day): enough for 5 to 10 weeks.
- Use it up quickly for maximum aroma right to the end of the bag.
The 1 kg size is not a larger bag: it contains two identical 500 g bags, sold together — the right choice once you drink it regularly.
How many cups does a 500 g bag make?
Standard yield: ~71 cups using 7 g each (short espresso), ~55 cups using 9 g each (standard espresso), ~50 cups using 10 g each (lungo). For a household drinking 4 cups a day: 2–3 weeks.
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 500 g — Delta's signature blend, African Robustas and Central American Arabicas, with notes of honey, ripe fruit and toasted almonds. The versatile bestseller.
Our advice: try both 500 g bags to find your preferred profile, then move on to the 1 kg size or multipacks.
Is it suitable for automatic bean-to-cup machines?
Yes, including entry-level machines (De'Longhi Magnifica, Philips series 3200, Melitta Caffeo). The Asian Robusta in the blend produces a dense, stable crema, while slow roasting limits oily residue in the grinder. Recommended settings: medium-fine grind, 8–9 g per cup, water at 92 °C.
What sizes is Delta Platinum available in?
The entire range is based on this 500 g bag:
- 500 g (this product) — for trying the blend / home use.
- 1 kg (2 bags of 500 g) — regular home use.
- 5 kg multipack — 10 bags, restaurant / boutique hotel / premium office.
- 10 kg pack — 20 bags, hotels.
- 20 kg pack — 40 bags, busy cafés, hotels and restaurants.
- 30 kg pack — 60 bags, intensive use in cafés, hotels and restaurants.
How should I store my 500 g bag?
The best-before date is printed on the bag. Unopened bag: store in a dry place at 18–22 °C, away from light. After opening, reseal tightly or transfer the beans to an opaque, airtight jar, and ideally use them within 3 to 4 weeks. Do not refrigerate or freeze: condensation damages the beans.
