On our walk this morning, in the tiny village of Airexe, we stopped in the bar in the above photo and ordered our first cafés con leche of the day. In most bars, when you order coffee, the cup shows the brand of coffee you are getting. I noticed the brand was Delta and remembered we’d had a cup of Delta coffee on our walk to Finesterre in 2014 and loved it and told the bartender we liked it and he pulled out the bag of coffee beans he used and it was Delta. So, this morning, I said to Charlie, I wonder if this will be as good.
It was! We were oohing and aahing. So rich, full of all kinds of flavors, but not at all harsh, very smooth. We couldn’t believe how good it was. There was no sign outside this bar advertising that they served Delta coffee, but sometimes you do see a sign. If you ever see a sign for Delta coffee, be sure to check it out. Of course, there are other factors such as how good the machine was that made the coffee and how good the barrista is. But, it’s definitely worth trying. The bartender back in 2014 told us Delta is a Portuguese brand. So, Ella and Grubb, I hope you get a chance to try some next month!
Thanks for the coffee tip. We will look for places that use Delta roasted coffees and be prepared for ooh and aah!
Delta coffee is available on Amazon. Whether it would be as good with Albuquerque water (makes a huge difference) and with your home coffee maker is another question. Worth a try when you get home.
Would be fun to try it at home to see how it comes out!
