Flavour profile
Delta Brazil is a 100% Arabica coffee from Brazil, the world's leading coffee producer. Delta describes it as a fragrant and deliciously refined blend, sourced largely from Cerrado Mineiro and Sud de Minas, two coffee-growing regions in Minas Gerais: a coffee with balanced acidity and a mild, fruity aroma shaped by the tropical warmth.
Intensity 9 out of 15 on the Delta scale, equivalent to 6/10 on our product pages. Delta's published sensory profile for its Brazil mainly features sweet notes (caramel, chocolate) and nuts. The result in the cup: a smooth, mild espresso, very approachable for those who dislike very acidic or very bitter coffees.
An excellent choice as your one everyday coffee, or to alternate with another, lighter single-origin coffee, Delta Colombia 500 g.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Brazilian coffee so popular?
Brazil is the world's leading coffee producer, making its coffee the basis of many blends. There are two reasons for its popularity:
- Volume — its production supplies most major international blends.
- Approachable profile — a smooth, mild coffee with moderate acidity that appeals to a wide audience.
Delta Brazil offers a fragrant, refined expression of this profile, sourced largely from Cerrado Mineiro and Sud de Minas.
How does it differ from Delta Colombia 500 g?
The two Delta single-origin coffees offer distinct profiles:
- Delta Brazil 500g (this product) — Cerrado Mineiro and Sud de Minas: balanced acidity, mild and fruity aroma. Intensity 6/10.
- Delta Colombia 500g — Tolima and Huila: mild and velvety, light citrus notes. Intensity 5/10.
Two 100% Arabica coffees to compare side by side, or alternate according to the time of day.
Is it a good coffee for an automatic bean-to-cup machine?
Yes, an excellent choice. The Brazilian profile (rounded body, low acidity, moderate bitterness) is very versatile — it is forgiving of imprecise grind and temperature settings on entry-level and mid-range automatic machines. Recommended settings:
- Grind: medium 6/10.
- Dose: 9–10 g per cup.
- Espresso volume: 30–35 ml.
Compatible with all types of machines: Jura, De'Longhi Magnifica, Melitta Caffeo, Philips 3200/5400, Saeco.
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.
Are there other Delta coffee beans in 500 g bags or larger packs?
In the Delta Cafés coffee beans range:
- Delta Colombia 500g — a related single-origin coffee with citrus notes.
