Taste Profile
QONVICTUS N°5 is the all-time best-seller in the Delta Q capsule system — the balanced, versatile designed for everyday espresso. A predominantly Arabica (South and Central America) with a touch of Robusta for crema, it's medium roasted in the Portuguese style , which develops chocolate aromas without overpowering the delicate notes.
In the cup : a balanced and well-rounded, a dense hazelnut-colored, and signature notes of roasted hazelnut, milk chocolate, and malty undertones. Medium body, smooth acidity, and a touch of bitterness—a crowd-pleaser with no harsh edges. This is the Delta Q capsule recommended first for users new to the system or those undecided between different profiles.
40-capsule format : a good compromise between a 10-capsule box (discovery pack) and a 100-capsule pack (economy pack). Ideal for regular weekly use (approximately 5 capsules per day for 8 days).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is QONVICTUS the best-selling Delta Q?
QONVICTUS N°5 sits in the middle of the Delta Q scale (5/13) — neither too mild nor too strong. This balanced, medium-roast suits most palates : coffee lovers who want a smooth, flavorful espresso without excessive complexity, harsh acidity, or pronounced bitterness. It's the blend that appeals to both those who prefer mild coffee and those who appreciate a balanced espresso.
Difference between QONVICTUS and AQTIVUS Delta Q?
Two mild Delta Q blends with distinct profiles:
- QONVICTUS N°5 (this ref.) — balanced medium roast, notes of toasted hazelnut + milk cocoa.
- AQTIVUS N°8 — smooth but more full-bodied, with notes of cocoa, cereals, and hazelnut. A step above in intensity.
QONVICTUS = softer and rounder, AQTIVUS = more versatile with a little more character.
Which Delta Q machines are compatible?
All Delta Q machines : Qool Evolution, Mini Qool, Milk Qool, Qosy, iconiq, Naveta, N-Qapsul. The proprietary Delta Q system uses a 5-6g polypropylene capsule with a specific geometry, incompatible with other systems (Nespresso, Dolce Gusto, Lavazza AMM / Blue / Espresso Point, illy Iperespresso).
Cost savings of the 40-caps format vs. a box of 10?
The 40-capsule pack is cheaper per capsule than the 10-capsule box — compare the prices shown on both pages. For the best price per capsule, see QONVICTUS 100-capsule pack.
Recommended for cappuccino and milk-based drinks?
Excellent — the balance of QONVICTUS is particularly well-suited to mild milk-based drinks. Heated milk doesn't mask the hazelnut and cocoa notes, which remain perceptible. Cappuccino, latte macchiato, latte art — ideal if you're looking for a rich milk-based drink without excessive bitterness. For a more intense cappuccino, choose QHARACTER N°9.
Recycling of Delta Q capsules?
Delta Q capsules are made of recyclable polypropylene — recyclable in the yellow recycling bin after emptying the coffee grounds. Delta Q does not currently a dedicated return program. The grounds can be composted separately (an excellent compost activator). Recyclable cardboard boxes.
