"Even at its discounted $1,300 price point, the Rivelia isn't cheap, but it does offer something that most espresso makers don't. Using the built-in touchscreen, you can select from a huge variety of milk-based coffee drinks, like lattes or flat whites, and the machine will take care of the process from start to finish. After configuring the grinder and settings for your preferred bean, just press the button for a cortado, for example, and a few minutes later you'll have one ready to go."
"One novel feature for homes with multiple coffee drinkers, the hopper is actually easily swappable, so you can keep two different kinds of beans ready to brew. Just let the Rivelia know that you want to make the change, and it will either dump the few leftover beans already in the grinder, or make you a little cup of coffee with them."
"While it doesn't match the potential quality of coffee you'd get from a classic portafilter machine, it's certainly much easier, which means you're always going to get at least a good shot, where a more complex process might result in a bad shot if you aren't awake enough yet. Part of the reason it works so well is the "bean adapt" function, which lets you dial in the settings for each type of bean you use, and even brews you a test cup"
Marked down by $200 on Amazon to a discounted $1,300 price, the De'Longhi Rivelia automates preparation of many milk-based espresso drinks via a built-in touchscreen. Users can configure grinder and grind settings for preferred beans, then select drinks such as lattes, flat whites, or cortados for one-touch brewing. The hopper is easily swappable to keep two different beans ready; the machine can dump leftover beans or brew a small cup when switching. A "bean adapt" function allows dialing in settings and brews a test cup for strength tuning. The integrated milk frother produces silky microfoam, though it does not reach steam-wand temperatures.
