Delta Chávena — chávena means ‘cup’ in Portuguese — is a blend that Delta Cafés describes as balanced, combining very distinct coffee varieties: Arabicas from Brazil and Guatemala and Robustas from Uganda, among others, roasted in Campo Maior, in the Alentejo, for a drink with notes of malt, chocolate and hazelnut.
Intensity 12 out of 15 on the Delta scale, equivalent to 8/10 on our product pages: a coffee with character for everyday espresso, whether a short bica or a coffee with milk. Delta estimates around 140 cups per kilo.

Frequently asked questions
What does ‘Chávena’ mean in Portuguese?
Chávena is the Portuguese word for cup. Coffee is central to life in Portugal: the short bica in Lisbon, the cimbalino in Porto and the long, milky galão are all daily rituals. Delta's Lote Chávena is a balanced blend: Arabicas from Brazil and Guatemala, Robustas from Uganda, among others, for a drink with notes of malt, chocolate and hazelnut.

Is Chávena compatible with my bean-to-cup machine?

How should I store the 1 kg bag after opening?
Reseal the bag carefully with a clip or transfer the beans to an opaque, airtight jar, and store at room temperature (18–22 °C), away from light and heat sources. Avoid the fridge (moisture and absorption of odours). Unopened bag: until the date shown on the packaging. After opening, ideally use within 3–4 weeks for the best aroma.

The grind should suit the brewing method:

- Italian moka pot: medium-fine grind, low heat for 3–4 min.
- Filter coffee maker / V60: medium grind, ratio 60 g/l.
- French Press: coarse grind, steep for 4 min.
