Taste Profile
Delta Chávena is Delta Cafés' everyday gourmet blend — Chávena means "cup" in Portuguese , a nod to the cultural importance of coffee in daily Portuguese life (the small, strong bisca in Lisbon, the cimbalino in Porto). Delta Cafés chose this name for this blend because it represents the typical Portuguese everyday cup — the coffee you drink casually, at the bar, at home, at the office. It's Delta's "family" blend .
A balanced Arabica-Robusta blend , sourced from classic Delta origins ( Brazil, Vietnam, Ethiopia ), medium roasted in Campo Maior, Alentejo, Portugal. Full -bodied with a smooth crema, it boasts signature notes of milk chocolate, dried fruit (hazelnut, almond), and toasted cereals . The quintessential everyday Portuguese coffee —an accessible and versatile Delta signature blend that satisfies most palates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Chávena" mean in Portuguese?
Chávena is the Portuguese word for "cup" (specifically, a coffee cup). Delta Cafés chose this name for this blend because it represents the everyday Portuguese cup —the coffee you drink casually, at the bar, at home, or at the office. It's the Delta "family" blend. Culturally, coffee is central to Portugal: the bica in Lisbon, the cimbalino in Porto, the galão long with milk—these are all daily rituals that this blend complements.
What is the difference between Chávena, Delta Gran Espresso and Delta Platinum?
Delta's signature blends reflect different balances and intensities :
- Chávena (this product) — accessible daily, balanced Arabica-Robusta blend, intensity 7/10.
- Gran Espresso — full-bodied Italian-style, Ho.Re.Ca pro blend dominant Robusta, intensity 10/10.
- Platinum — top-of-the-range fineblend, predominantly Arabica, intensity 7/10, floral notes.
- Gold — iconic bestseller, Arabica-Robusta, intensity 8/10.
How many cups can I make with 1 kg?
Estimated yield:
- Strong espresso (7g) : ~143 cups.
- Standard espresso (9 g) : ~111 cups.
- Filter coffee maker (60 g / L) : ~83 cups of 200 mL.
Home (4 cups/day): ~5 weeks per kilo. Office (20 cups/day): ~1 week per kilo.
Is the Chávena compatible with my bean-to-cup machine?
Yes, all brands : De'Longhi (Magnifica, Dinamica, Eletta), Jura (E, S, Z, GIGA), Philips (LatteGo, 2200-5500), Melitta (Caffeo, Barista), Krups (Evidence, Intuition), Saeco. Recommended settings: medium grind 5/10, dose 9-10 g, temperature 92°C. The Arabica-Robusta blend produces a dense, hazelnut-colored crema that compensates well for machines without pre-infusion. Estimated yield: ~111 cups per 1 kg bag at 9 g per extraction.
How should I store the 1 kg bag after opening?
Carefully reseal the Delta bag (integrated zip closure) or transfer the beans to an airtight, opaque jar. Store at room temperature (18-22°C), away from light and heat sources. Avoid refrigerating (humidity and odor absorption). Best before end of sealed bag: 18-24 months. Once opened, ideally consume within 3-4 weeks for optimal flavor.
What grind should I choose depending on my extraction method?
The grind must be adapted to the method:
- Espresso / grinder machine : fine grind (fine sand texture), extraction 25-30 s for 30 mL.
- Italian moka coffee maker : medium-fine grind , gentle heat 3-4 min.
- Filter coffee maker / V60 : medium grind , ratio 60 g / L.
- French Press : coarse, infusion 4 min.
