Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Gran Crema appreciated in espresso and cappuccino?
Three reasons:
- A 100% Arabica — Delta blends it from Arabica coffees of several origins.
- A cup without harshness — the brand describes it as strong and intense on the palate, without bitterness or acidity.
- Indulgent notes — spices , cocoa and fruity nuances — that go well with the milk of a cappuccino or a latte.
What is the difference between Delta Gran Crema and Delta Gold?
Two Delta cafes with different orientations:
- 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 Robusta and Central American Arabica beans. Notes of honey, ripe fruit, and roasted almonds. A versatile bestseller with a fuller body.
Is Gran Crema suitable for lovers of light or strong coffee?
A well-rounded coffee with character. With an intensity of 6/10 (9 on the Delta scale of 15), Gran Crema is a 100% Arabica that Delta describes as strong and intense on the palate, but without bitterness or acidity. It's suitable for those who enjoy a smooth and indulgent espresso without harshness; for a more full-bodied coffee, see Delta Ritual (13 out of 15). Perfect as an afternoon coffee or for latte-based coffees throughout the day.
Can I prepare Gran Crema in a filter coffee maker?
Yes, but this blend is best as an espresso or moka pot —because its characteristics (a strong, intense coffee without bitterness) are better expressed with a pressure brewing method than with a filter. For filter coffee makers, Delta Platinum (slow roast, round and smooth cup) or Lavazza Gold Selection are preferable .
How many cups can you make with 1 kg of Gran Crema?
Standard yield: ~143 cups at 7g/cup, ~111 cups at 9g/cup, ~83 cups in a filter coffee maker. Household 4 cups/day: 3-5 weeks.
