De'Longhi Rivelia EXAM440.55.W, Fully Automatic Coffee Machine with LatteCrema Hot, Automatic Milk Frother, Compact Size Bean to Cup Coffee Machine, 16 Recipes, Touch Colored Display, Arctic White

The De’Longhi Rivelia is my second coffee machine from De’Longhi, the first lasted 10 years before I felt the need for a change. From all the models this one seemed to meet all my needs. Setup took 10 minutes and the fact that you get two coffee bean hoppers to put your beers in included means if your better half doesn’t like your strength or brand they can quickly change the been hopper and use their own. The colour screen is clear and the machine provides a tutorial for first use if you’re not too sure how to proceed. Just follow the on screen instructions. All the types of coffee or hot milk can be adjusted in strength, temperature and milk amount to suit your own preferences It also has profiles that can be setup so I can have a set of my own coffee preferences, I like a bigger mug for example. My wife’s profile has different beans and different amounts of coffee and milk that she likes in her smaller cup. The coffee quality and strength adjustment blows my old one out of the water. The highest temperature for example is a LOT hotter than previous models for both milk frothing and coffee. I’ve never had a tepid coffee from this machine. It’s also a lot more compact than my previous model and takes up much less room. The material it’s made from doesn’t look like cheap plastic either, overall it looks well made and a lot more expensive than it actually was. I also bought an additional milk frother as it’s handy to have one clean while the other is being washed. All the removable parts are dishwasher safe. I paid a bit extra and bought the white LatteCrema Cool upgrade Set. I was surprised when I fitted it and it unlocked an additional six cold drinks in the main menu that can apparently only be made with this type of frother. So now I have a choice of 24 separate drinks to choose from. The machine will also remind you to deep clean the milk frother, fill the water tank if there isn’t enough for your drink not just when it’s empty and empty the ground container. Overall well worth the money paid for it and I would recommend buying the cold milk frother especially if you have kids that like cold milk.

The coffee it produces tastes great, and there’s a wide range of drink options to choose from. The different settings are especially useful in a household where multiple people drink coffee, as everyone can tailor their drinks to their own preferences. The Bean Adapt feature makes a noticeable difference to the flavour, helping get the best out of different beans. I also really like the multiple hoppers, it’s perfect for switching between beans, especially as I only have one caffeinated drink a day. Overall, it’s a versatile and convenient machine that consistently delivers great coffee.

We bought this to replace a De Longhi Magnifica 4200 machine, which gave great service for almost 12 years. Firstly, I am no coffee nerd. However, I am married to an Italian and have come to appreciate a robust 'caffe lungo' at breakfast, a cappuccino mid-morning and a good espresso after lunch (I try to avoid the buckets of boiling coffee sold by nearly every coffee shop these days). This machine does all three very well. The touchscreen is easy to use, allowing you to create your own coffee profile (strength, amount of water) for each style of coffee. You can also interrupt the pouring if your cup is about to overflow, or add extra. I really like the interchangeable transparent coffee hoppers. You can see the level of coffee beans remaining and easily switch hoppers for a different bean. The water tank is simple to top up, being at the side of the machine and not needing to be pulled out. This may actually prolong the life of the tank's water seal (the Magnifica became very incontinent in its old age!). In fact, you really only need to remove the tank to get access to the brew unit for cleaning. Although the tank is slightly smaller than the Magnifica's, it seems to last just as well, possibly because it doesn't have such a long-drawn-out rinse cycle. The build quality is a step up from the Magnifica's; polished metal drip tray cover and sensibly dark plastic to mask visible staining. Adjusting the grinding of the beans is achieved by rotating an attractive chromed ring at the base of the hopper. The milk frothing carafe works very well, producing a perfect cappuccino as far as my wife is concerned (the true test!). It plugs easily into the water spout aperture, can be stored with any remaining milk in the fridge, and is straightforward to clean when necessary. All in all, it is a worthy replacement for our dear old Magnifica. Important final point: If you like very hot coffee, don't buy this machine; even on its hottest setting, it won't do it for you. Instead, make jug coffee on a hotplate and boil the hell out of it like our American friends do! 3-month update: All good, except for one minor niggle. Being able to store unused milk in the carafe is a good idea, but a gooey dairy-based smegma is apt to form in the bottom of the tube! De Longhi should include a mini cleaning brush (see pic).

As far as features go then this is a decent machine. Really good that it can be personalised for 4 people. The coffee is pretty good, milk frother is pretty simple to use. However - we had to return twice with same fault, where it says to empty grounds container and drip tray, even though they are empty already. This happened after only a month. Amazon replaced straight away, great service. However, a year later it happens again. This time Amazon took it in for repair, couldn’t fix it and gave a full refund. Needless to say we won’t buy a delonghi again. Going for a Jura this time.

Brought as I wanted an upgrade on my Nespresso pod machine and can honestly say I love this machine. It’s on the expensive side compared to other machines but do feel it is worth the price Taste is superior compared to pod machines in my opinion I like coffee black and milk drinks and haven’t been disappointed with any of the coffee served up in this machine Size of the machine is good just the right size Looks great Latte creamer milk jug is good I use dairy free milk and the milk still froths good for cappuccino etc Easy to use/ set up If you want to do ice latte and other ice milk drinks you need to purchase the latte cool jug off delonghis website

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Die Rivelia Vollautomatische Kaffeemaschine hat mich wirklich überzeugt. Der Kaffee schmeckt ausgezeichnet – aromatisch, kräftig und je nach Einstellung genau so, wie man ihn gerne hat. Die Möglichkeit, sowohl die Bohnenstärke als auch die Wassermenge individuell einzustellen, finde ich besonders gelungen. Ein echtes Highlight sind die zwei Bohnenbehälter. So kann ich problemlos zwischen entkoffeinierten Bohnen und Arabica wechseln, ohne etwas umfüllen zu müssen – praktisch und zeitsparend! Die Bedienung ist einfach und intuitiv, auch für jemanden, der nicht so technikaffin ist. Die Maschine läuft angenehm leise für einen Vollautomaten, und die Reinigung ist unkompliziert. Das automatische Spülprogramm macht vieles von selbst, und die herausnehmbare Brühgruppe lässt sich schnell reinigen. Optisch wirkt die Maschine modern und hochwertig, und sie passt perfekt in meine Küche. Für mich bietet sie ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und ist ideal für alle, die Wert auf guten Kaffee und Flexibilität legen. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Spectacular coffee machine! The one with the best value for money. Paying the premium over the magnifica does indeed make sense with the overload of drink options available The snappy screen and its visuals are a great touch Probably the best way to start your day, everyday. The two bean containers allow you to switch from caffeinated to decaf in seconds and the device is a pleasure to use. Really, the lifestyle upgrade you deserve. Don't buy another expensive phone just to use whatsapp. Buy this instead. The milk carafe is easy to clean and fills up with around 2.5 small packs of milk.

Arrived very quickly. It is very straightforward to use, easy to clean, and simple to customize your coffee to suit your taste.

Très bien et facile à utiliser

Hay aparatos que hacen café. Y luego está la De’Longhi Rivelia, que sabe que hace café. Se planta en tu cocina con más actitud que un barista con tatuajes y bigote en un local de especialidad. Y no te dice buenos días: te dice “buongiorno, amore mio”. Desde que la enciendes, la Rivelia se comporta como si te conociera de toda la vida. Su pantalla táctil a color te saluda como si estuvieras entrando a una cafetería boutique en Milán. Y la interfaz no te lanza mil opciones técnicas: te pregunta cómo te sientes hoy, y según eso, te sugiere un espresso cargado, un latte suave o un capuchino que te abraza por dentro. Lo primero que sorprende es su sistema de granos dual: puedes tener dos tipos de café listos para moler con solo deslizar un botón. ¿Arabica suave para la mañana y Robusta demoníaco para el lunes? Listo. ¿Descafeinado y “No-me-hables-hasta-el-tercer-sorbo”? También. Cambiar de grano es tan fácil como cambiar de humor. Y hablemos del espumador de leche. No es solo un vaporizador; es como un mini maestro de cappuccino que se sacó un curso de arte latte por correspondencia. La espuma que produce es tan densa que podrías usarla como almohada, pero sería un crimen no bebértela. La Rivelia además limpia sola. Literalmente. Cada vez que se enciende o se apaga, hace su mini ritual de enjuague como quien se arregla el moño antes de salir. Y cuando llega la hora de descalcificar, lo pide con una elegancia que da hasta gusto obedecer. ¿Es cara? Sí, un poco. Pero piensa en esto: ¿cuánto pagarías por un café perfecto, hecho a tu gusto, todos los días, sin salir en pijama? Y sin que el barista te juzgue por pedir leche de avena. En resumen: la De’Longhi Rivelia no solo hace café. Te cuida, te entiende y te despierta mejor que tu pareja. Y si un día te declara su amor, no te sorprendas. Tú también lo vas a sentir.
