Unknown De'Longhi Rivelia Automatic Espresso Machine Review — Super Review
The De'Longhi Rivelia Automatic Espresso Machine targets coffee enthusiasts who want cafe-quality drinks without the manual effort of grinding, tamping, and frothing. This super-automatic bean-to-cup machine features a Bean Switch System with two removable 8.8-ounce hoppers, allowing quick changes between bean types. It offers 18 one-touch recipes including latte, cappuccino, espresso, and iced coffee, with customizable intensity, quantity, and temperature. The integrated burr grinder has 13 settings, and the LatteCrema Hot system froths milk or plant-based alternatives automatically. With a touchscreen interface and guided setup, the Rivelia aims to simplify home coffee brewing while delivering consistently high-quality results.
Product Overview
The Rivelia measures 17 inches deep, 9.75 inches wide, and 14.75 inches high, weighing 21.4 pounds. Its 47-ounce water tank is removable for easy refilling. The two bean hoppers each hold 8.8 ounces, making it simple to switch between regular and decaf or different roasts. The 1450-watt machine operates on standard 120-volt AC power and includes a reusable filter, cleaning brush, milk carafe, measuring scoop, and water hardness test strip. The compact Italian design fits well on most countertops, though its height may require clearance under cabinets. The touchscreen display is intuitive, guiding users through drink selection and customization. The machine's self-cleaning cycles minimize daily maintenance, though periodic infuser cleaning is recommended. The drip tray and grounds container are easy to access and clean. The included milk carafe can be stored in the refrigerator between uses, adding convenience for frequent milk drinkers.

Build & Materials
The Rivelia features a compact Italian design with a plastic and metal construction that feels sturdy yet lightweight enough to move if needed. The touchscreen interface is responsive and easy to navigate, even with wet hands. The two bean hoppers are made of clear plastic with lids, making it easy to see bean levels. The water tank slides out from the side for refilling, and the drip tray pulls out to empty spent grounds and excess water. The milk carafe uses a stainless steel interior with a plastic exterior and attaches magnetically. The integrated grinder is housed internally, keeping countertop mess to a minimum. All removable parts (drip tray, hoppers, water tank, milk carafe) are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
Shot Quality
The Rivelia produces espresso with good crema and balanced flavor, though some reviewers note that it may not match the intensity of manual machines. With a 13-setting grinder, users can fine-tune extraction, and the machine automatically adjusts dose based on grind size. The milk frother creates velvety hot foam consistently, with adjustable density. Iced coffee drinks are well-received. The machine's speed is moderate—a latte takes a few minutes—but it operates quietly. The temperature stability is reliable for consecutive drinks. Some users report that the espresso can be weak even at the strongest setting, but this may be due to bean freshness or grind adjustment. Overall, the Rivelia delivers very good coffee for a super-automatic, especially for those prioritizing convenience over absolute peak espresso quality.
