Taste Profile
Delta Cafés Platinum is the premium from the Portuguese company Delta. Delta describes it as a blend ofCentral American Arabica, which provides aromatic finesse and sweetness, and Asian Robusta, which gives it body and crema structure. 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 smooth, lingering flavor, a dense, hazelnut-colored crema, and notes of ripe fruit, caramel, and chocolate. The acidity is present but well-integrated, with a restrained bitterness. Alongside the Delta Gold, the Platinum is the round and elegant in the range—the after-dinner coffee of choice in restaurants and hotels in Portugal.
The 500g bag is the introductory, and also the unit for the entire Platinum range: the 1kg size contains two bags, and the 5kg to 30kg packs contain ten to sixty bags. Yield: ~71 cups of strong espresso (7g), or 2 to 3 weeks for a household drinking 4 cups per day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the 500g bag rather than the 1kg format?
The 500g bag is the discovery size :
- Test the blend before moving to a larger format.
- Light consumption (1-2 cups per day): 5 to 10 weeks of autonomy, while maintaining its freshness.
- Rapid rotation for maximum flavor at the end of the bag.
The 1 kg format is not a larger bag: it is two identical 500 g bags, sold together cheaper than individually — the right choice as soon as you consume regularly.
How many cups can you make with a 500g bag?
Standard yield: ~71 cups at 7g (short espresso), ~55 cups at 9g (standard espresso), ~50 cups at 10g (lungo). 4 cups per day household: 2-3 weeks.
What is the difference between Delta Platinum and Delta Gold?
Two iconic Delta blends, both with an intensity of 8/10 but with distinct characters:
- Delta Platinum (this product) — top-of-the-line : Central American Arabica and Asian Robusta, slow and natural roasting, notes of ripe fruit, caramel and chocolate, round, smooth and long.
- Delta Gold 500g — signature blend , Arabica-Robusta, with notes of dark chocolate and dried fruit, a more direct and chocolatey. The versatile bestseller.
Our advice: try the two 500g bags to identify your profile, then move on to the 1kg format or packs.
Is it suitable for automatic grain machines?
Yes, even with entry-level machines (De'Longhi Magnifica, Philips 3200 series, Melitta Caffeo). The Asian Robusta in the blend produces a dense and stable crema, and the slow roasting process minimizes oily residue in the grinder. Recommended settings: medium-fine grind, 8-9 g per cup, water at 92°C.
What formats are available for Delta Platinum?
The entire range is built around this 500g bag:
- 500 g (this product) — discovery / home use.
- 1 kg (2 bags of 500 g) — regular household use.
- Pack 5 kg — 10 sachets, restaurant / boutique hotel / premium office.
- 10 kg pack — 20 bags, hotel industry.
- Pack 20 kg — 40 sachets, for high-traffic catering establishments.
- Pack 30 kg — 60 sachets, intensive CHR.
How should I store my 500g bag?
The best before date is printed on the bag. Store the sealed bag in a dry place at 18-22°C, away from light. After opening, reseal tightly (using the heat-sealable strip) or transfer the grains to an airtight, opaque container, and ideally consume within 3 to 4 weeks. Do not refrigerate or freeze : condensation will damage the grains.
