Delta Cafés Gran Crema Coffee Beans 1 kg — Dense Crema Blend

Three factors:

1. Higher Robusta proportion — Gran Crema contains about 40% Robusta (compared to ~30% for Gold), and Robusta produces more creamy oils at extraction.
2. Tailored roasting — optimized to maximize creamy structure.
3. Specific Robusta selection — origins Vietnam and Africa which give a stable and long-lasting cream (it lasts 3-4 min after extraction).

That's why Gran Crema is Delta's favorite blend for cappuccino and latte : the cream stands up to mixing with frothed milk.

Two balanced Delta blends, with different orientations:

• Delta Gran Crema (this product) — intensity 6/10, blend optimized for dense crema. Notes of milk chocolate, hazelnut, and toast. Ideal for cappuccinos/lattes.
• Delta Cafés Gold — intensity 8/10, balanced blend in the Portuguese tradition. Notes of dark chocolate and dried fruit. Versatile bestseller. Fuller body.

A moderately balanced coffee. With an intensity of 6/10, Gran Crema is a well-balanced blend : not too light (thanks to the Robusta which provides body), not too strong (the Arabica softens it). It's ideal for those who enjoy a smooth and indulgent espresso without the pronounced bitterness of a 10/10 Gran Espresso. Perfect as an afternoon coffee or to balance out several milk-based coffees throughout the day.

Yes, but this blend is best suited to espresso or moka pots—because its characteristics (dense crema, body) are better revealed with a pressurized brewing method than with a filter. For filter coffee makers, Delta Platinum (slow roast, round and smooth cup) or Lavazza Gold Selection are preferable .

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.
