Flavour profile
Delta Cafés Gran Crema is a 100% Arabica coffee: Delta blends coffees from several origins and roasts the blend in Campo Maior, Portugal. In the cup, the brand describes notes of spice and cocoa, with fruity nuances, in a coffee that is strong and intense on the palate, with no bitterness or acidity. Intensity 9 out of 15 on the Delta scale, or 6/10 on our product pages. A smooth coffee for everyday espresso that retains its character with the milk in a cappuccino or latte: an excellent choice for a household that alternates between espresso and milk-based drinks.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Gran Crema popular for espresso and cappuccino?
Three reasons:
- A 100% Arabica coffee — Delta blends Arabica coffees from several origins.
- A cup with no harshness — the brand describes it as strong and intense on the palate, with no bitterness or acidity.
- Indulgent notes — spice, cocoa and fruity nuances that complement the milk in a cappuccino or latte.
What is the difference between Delta Gran Crema and Delta Gold?
Two Delta coffees with different profiles:
- Delta Gran Crema (this product) — intensity 6/10, 100% Arabica. Notes of spice, cocoa and fruit, with no bitterness or acidity. Ideal for espresso and cappuccino.
- Delta Cafés Gold — intensity 8/10, a blend of African Robustas and Central American Arabicas. Notes of honey, ripe fruit and toasted almonds. A versatile bestseller with a fuller body.
Is Gran Crema suitable for those who prefer light or strong coffee?
A smooth coffee with character. With an intensity of 6/10 (9 on Delta's scale of 15), Gran Crema is a 100% Arabica coffee that Delta describes as strong and intense on the palate, yet with no bitterness or acidity. It suits those who enjoy a smooth, indulgent espresso with no harshness; for a more full-bodied coffee, see Delta Ritual (13 out of 15). Perfect as an afternoon coffee or for milk-based coffees throughout the day.
Can I brew Gran Crema in a filter coffee machine?
Yes, but this blend is at its best as an espresso or brewed in a moka pot — because its characteristics (a strong, intense coffee with no bitterness) come through better with pressure brewing than with filter brewing. For a filter coffee machine, choose Delta Platinum (slow-roasted, with a smooth, mild cup) or Lavazza Gold Selection instead.
How many cups can I make with 1 kg of Gran Crema?
Standard yield: ~143 cups at 7 g per cup, ~111 cups at 9 g per cup, ~83 cups in a filter coffee machine. A household drinking 4 cups a day: 3–5 weeks.
