De’Longhi Rivelia Automatic Espresso Machine with Grinder & Milk Frother – All-in-One Coffee Maker, Hot & Iced Latte, Cappuccino, Bean Switch System, Burr Grinder, Compact Italian Design, White

Game Changer for Home Brew
Over the years we’ve slowly evolved from terrible drip coffee to single serve pod coffee to pod-based espresso. Mostly because the footprint of those machines was small and they could be easily purchased/replaced for a couple hundred dollars. And they do a great job of producing a 30 second cup of coffee on the way out the door.But to enjoy a really good cup of coffee in the evening or on weekend mornings, we wanted something better without making trips to the coffee shop. Enter the Rivelia.We’ve used this machine for about 3 months and couldn’t be more pleased. We’ve always had good experience with De’Longhi kitchen products and the Rivelia is no different. We are still learning about beans and grind settings and all espresso-related fine tuning, but out of the box, the coffee from the Rivelia is spectacular. And I’ve generally brewed 10 to 12 ounce cups of coffee, so I never thought I would enjoy a one ounce cup of espresso. I was wrong. Just the taste and aroma of freshly ground beans makes all the difference.The Rivelia offers multi user settings and a slew of one touch drink options. You can easily customize the size and strength of any beverage. And I was never a cold coffee person, but the wife is. And the cold brew drinks are really good as well.Is super automatic the way to go? Yes. While I’m sure I would appreciate the taste and refinement of all the various options of a manual espresso machine — I have no desire to spend the time measuring, grinding, tamping, frothing, cleaning, cleaning, and cleaning. If you’re in the camp of wanting a great cup of coffee/espresso that may be just a notch below barista level without all of the work and hassle, then this machine is what you’re looking for.The grind setting is easily adjusted based on your bean type and desired courseness. The pucks created by the machine are comparable to what you see from manual machines. The automatic frother works perfectly and the froth is adjusted from creamy to dense with a turn of the dial. You can also keep milk in the container and just put it in the fridge to use again later. Easy. It also comes with two bean hoppers so you can easily switch between coffee types. After much research, I like the bean hopper option versus the machines that just have you pour beans into the top of the machine. Much more user friendly.Cleaning and maintenance was our biggest concern. As previously mentioned, we didn’t want to spend half an hour cleaning up after each cup of coffee. Good news is, we don’t. The machine virtually cleans itself. It runs a warming and rinse cycle when the machine is turned on and it runs a rinse cycle when the machine is turned off. It also quickly rinses the milk frother before removing for storage. And when the frother needs to be cleaned, just put all of the parts in the dishwasher. The machine alerts when the coffee grounds tray needs to be emptied. Just dump in the trash (or compost), rinse off and you’re ready to go again. About once a month the infuser needs to be cleaned, which takes about 30 seconds to run under warm water and then let dry.As an aside, we had a small issue with one of the machine attachments. We contacted De’Longhi customer service and they resolved it for us immediately.I’m sure other super automatic machines are great and there are pros and cons to each, but we are very happy with Rivelia and would absolutely buy this machine again. Highly recommended.

DeLonghi Rivelia pebble gray
The DeLonghi Rivelia works exactly as advertised. This was our first automatic espresso maker so we researched quite awhile. The double bean hopper made the decision for us. There are many coffee settings and you can customize to create your own personal settings. Hard to spend that much on a coffee maker but we have been extremely satisfied, especially after making many coffees during the Christmas gatherings. We purchased the Pebble color and it is a nice medium gray with blue tones. We like the color. This espresso maker is easy to use and clean. We use the 2 bean hoppers for decaf and regular and bought a 2nd frother for plant based milk and whole milk options. Fantastic dense froth! Coffee temp is good and adding hot milk takes the temp up for sure. Definitely happy with our purchase.

Fácil de usar nada más al sacarla de la caja, la pantalla táctil y los perfiles funcionan como deberían y son muy intuitivos. A mi parecer un gran acierto que los dos depósitos que trae para grano de café puedan ser intercambiables, de esta manera puedo tener café en grano a mi gusto y café en grano descafeinado como le gusta a mi pareja. Prepara un café y flat white deliciosos!

Bought this machine after our daughter shared a few recipes from her machine over Christmas. Being seniors we were a bit worried about setup and use of this machine. We did not have any problems setting up the machine or our user profiles. We are very fussy (coffee snobs actually) about our freshly ground drip coffee flavour that we were used to for 30 years this led to concern about this machine being able to meet our expectations for flavour. Rest assured this machines coffee recipe exceeded our expectations by multiples for flavour from our favourite bean. Also having fun exploring all of other recipes with decaf beans for an afternoon treat. Cappuccinos was all we knew how make. Now we can make an impressive lineup of recipes because of this machine’s capabilities.
