Delonghi Rivelia Superautomatic Coffee Machine Review

[@Tom-h9n]

Hey Tom Great review I have purchased this machine it is terriffic I like the fact that having an external water tank you can fill it while the machine is going through its program. Also you need to purchase a white milk caraf if you want cold drinks, when you insert the caraf the cold drinks menu comes up on the screen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYK1gqygnZeGq7csi=E5Akpe8VALXoqso_

[@lamalta79]

Hell Tom great review, thanks! I have the Rivelia since August and I really love it. A couple of things I noticed: - when you do the "Latte Macchiato" you have the milk foam setting on "high", while the machine suggests to use "medium" - as already mentioned, for cold drinks you need to purchase the white milk caraffe, I have it and it works great I often switch between different beans, my strategy is this: one hopper is always with decaf, the other is empty. When I want an espresso or something else, I put in the empty hopper the right amount of beans so I don't need to "grind and empty".

[@FunWithTheBugs]

The Rivelia does support cold milk drinks. You just need to purchase the parts separately as it's not included with it like the De'Longhi Eletta Explore.

[@filippoiulianella5387]

#Rivelia…. i bought it 2months ago and it’s great. i’m italian and the espresso quality is what i care in a machine. this one gets a great one. easy to use. well done De Longhi.

[@lisjak82]

We've had it for about two months now and we're very happy with it, we mostly drink coffee with milk in different ways and they're prepared really well. What I like about this machine is that it is very easy to use and the coffee is always hot and full of flavor. It also makes a great milk foam that is always thick and the same every time. I was deciding between Rivelia and Dinamica Plus because the price was almost the same. Otherwise, I was a little skeptical about the purchase, because Rivelia has not been on the market for a long time and there were few reviews, but I was convinced by the design and simplicity of Rivelia. Now I see that I made the right decision and I really don't regret this money.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Thanks for sharing your story, and I am glad you're happy with the Rivelia!

[@scm4375]

Hello! I have bought Rivelia based in your video review, as I was also thinking on the Electra Explore. However I think I have made the right decision. Coffee with milk options are great and the compact design is very convenient. The only question I have is how often should the brewing group be done? ( Actually I’m doing it once a week?) The last question is how can the temperature be set? Thanks again for your valuable opinion

[@rickadams1]

Whats your opinion after x months use with the revilla ? I have the same options hence the questions. One reviewers has complaints about the grinding, the milk temprature (some say its cold others say its ok...

[@andrewstedman8668]

#Rivelia Great review, Tom. I've had one of these for 6 months now, and have been very pleased with it. Good temperature drinks, and I agree about the high quality of the milk frothing. The fact it remembers your settings easily makes one-touch use very convenient thereafter. The two things that let it down for me are (1) the screen being on top, which means you have to lean over to see what you're selecting, and (2) the drip tray seems to fill quite quickly even though I have used a container to deal with the warm-up, cool-down and milk cleaning cycles.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

@@andrewstedman8668 I agree with you on all those points. Because the machine is designed slimmer, grounds catch tray and drip tray fill up faster. Otherwise, nice machine.

[@tarkoonmiller9182]

I have been waiting for this review thank you 🙏🏼

[@Milan1Nikolic]

Thanks for your support!

[@ArnoldJudasRimmer..]

Hi Tom. Just wanted to chuck in my own personal experience with delonghi machines. As you may remember your review of the Dinamica+ helped me take the plunge and buy one. Well. After hitting the 1000 cup mark, I could not be more happy with this particular model! It makes me a range, of custom made coffees both milk based or not. I paid only £500 for mine at the time. My better half is an accountant. She actually purchased the machine for me as she was spending so much on pods lol. She figured out the machine had paid for iteself after only 3 months lol. I have a pal who has this model, and it is superior in ease of use, and it is smaller. I say all this to assure anyone on the fence about buying one of these. If you enjoy coffee shop quality coffees. But don't want to make them from scratch with a manual machine.....just buy one! It has changed my mornings and after dinner times. Anyway awesome review as ever Tom 👌👏

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

@@ArnoldJudasRimmer.. Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your experience, and I am glad to hear that you’re happy. :-)

[@namrepmek]

Love your reviews Tom, as usual they are detailed and hands-on. It swung me towards the Rivelia-the two hoppers for morning caffeinated and end day decaffeinated is amazingly convenient. LOVE my flat whites and cortado drinks: the Rivelia hasn’t missed a beat for me. Thanks again for the review. 👍 #Rivelia

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Great to hear it - thanks for sharing your story!

[@aqhan]

Thank you so much for this review! It convinced me that paying a little extra can go a long way, so I just went on and bought the machine! Can’t wait for it to get delivered 😂

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@juanillo93]

#Rivelia Hi Tom, we have this machine 5 months now and we are super happy with it. I bought it for 579€ in Amazon Spain and I think it deserves every cent. Thanks a lot for your review and one more time, congratulations!!!

[@warpbros]

Vaya! 579€ y fue hace 8 meses, llevo un tiempo buscando ofertas y lo mejor que la he visto ha sido a 609€ en electroprecio. La tuya es el mismo modelo que la del video? o sin el dosificador de leche?

[@juanillo93]

@warpbros hola, la mia es sin el vaso. La pedimos así porque en casa no utilizamos el sistema de leche para nada. De hecho a día de hoy lo hemos usado una sola vez para probar que funciona.

[@wajdiyounes5524]

I believe the point of the system, is that if you drink both decaf and normal coffee, that you put the bean hopper, twist, then untwist it and that way you make your coffee with the beans that are in the machine and put the hopper back (not in the machine). That way you never waste coffee beans, but you are forced to use a 9 or 10g dose i believe.

[@fesch4354]

Interesting review and thank you for explaining how to adjust the machine for getting a proper espresso. I bought the Rivelia about 3 weeks ago because of the option to change the bean hoppers. I'm really satisfied with it and excited to check-out various coffee roasteries. PS. Sometimes there are bargains for the Rivelia offered by some electrical retailers e.g. EP or euronics or at the German ebay portal (in combination with cashback from shoop I payed less than 620 Euro).

[@rodimousa9503]

Great review as always 😁

[@lucybest-shaw5239]

#Rivelia.... Great video. I am waiting for my machine to be delivered today. I feel acquainted with it already. Thank you.

[@subetov]

Which one would you choose Rivelia or Eletta Explore ? Thank you.

[@jonmaher2531]

Seems like the engineers that built the original Nespresso machines designed this one. Similar water tank hook-up, build in tools, etc..

[@alejandroulate6632]

Good machine for people don´t have too much time to prepare a coffee from scratch.

[@ChaseTheMoments]

This just got more complicated. I just bought a Dinamica Plus from Amazon at £600. But there are different models and the one I have does no have multi use profiles and is also limited on drinks. No Americano for example. So this Rivelia just got interesting and I am tempted to pay the extra £150 and get it instead. I like the fact that it has 4 user profiles and I really like the way you can swap the coffee hoppers. Especially as I want to try lots of different coffee. Thanks very much for taking the time to do the review. It was very informative and helpful.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Glad it was helpful! They have so many variants of the Dinamica Plus...mine has 4 profiles and all the drinks.

[@superamario6464]

Superb video! Thank you for uploading #Rivelia very compact and small footprint

[@colinchapman3504]

I was about to buy this exact machine after my trusty 9yr old magnifica equivalent died. However I have decided to go down the home barista route at less than half the price so fingers crossed I have done the right thing. FYI Sage Smart Grinder Pro + DeLonghi Dedica. All that said it looks a great machine and i’m sure it will be a popular choice. Keep up the great work Tom 👍

[@Milan1Nikolic]

😊 I'm doing the opposite, from Dedica&grinder to this one. Well see in a couple of days, when I get it.

[@Milan1Nikolic]

All right, I got the mighty new Rivelia. It's 19 bars and the whole system gives a way better coffee than Dedica.

[@opritacodrut5276]

I saw your reviews on the other Delonghi super automatics and I was deciding between an Elleta or a Dinamica, but guess what, black friday is around and everybody is buying espresso machines. So, no more of those is stock. I am super happy you made this review because I was skeptical about the Rivelia, mainly because looking so different so I was worried that the quality might be different also, in a bad way. I am ready to buy myself a Delonghi and I will let you know how it is for me. Thanks a lot for the reviews, they helped me a lot❤

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

You betcha - thanks for watching!

[@emmaoneill579]

I moved from the ninja luxe to the Rivelia after two faulty Ninja machines! Been really happy with this and got a good bundle deal in black Friday for the cold milk carafe added in. So simple and easy to use great drinks as well finally happy to have moved from a vertuo pod machine!

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

What happened with the Ninjas? Mine's still going strong.

[@emmaoneill579]

Seems to be a common issue in the UK at least where the grind size setting remains at 1 on the barista assist no matter what and the portafilter got stuck a few times whilst brewing! Think I was just unlucky!

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

@ oh, that’s too bad. That hasn’t happened to me, and the barista assist has actually worked extremely well. Hope you’re happy with your new machine. 👍🏻

[@slovitzmusic8201]

DeLonghi finally got themselves together and make pretty good machines, so there's no longer just the Jura on the market that can give you a pretty decent experience with a single button press. And I am writing this from the perspective of a coffee freak and an espresso orthodox. ..but it took a while 😆

[@laowai2000]

#rivelia That looks like a great machine for those not wanting to mess around with separate grinding and tamping. For me will stick with my trusty dedica. Sadly missed at moment due to an international move and the dedica still in transit. Great to see Delonghi marketing supporting this great channel!!!

[@YukonHawk1]

What a fantastic machine

[@martinabendrin9988]

We bought the rivelia in white for a Special offer of 749€. It comes with another milk pug with wich you can make cold milk foam!! Thats very cool for summer drinks or deserts.

Hi I’m deciding on which coffee machine to use either the rivelia or the dinamica plus, can you help with this choice please

[@theycallmemakramgamingchan3639]

Hi tom. My budget are limited. Which one you recommend for low budget use like mine, the magnifica evo or this rivelia?

[@esciano78]

Hi Tom, nice review as usual. Got me a #Rivelia months ago when it launched and i'm loving it. Believe it or not I downgraded from a Primadonna Soul and this machine got me better results. Much keener now on experimenting with different beans and decaf with some extra containers. The major con for me so far: that screen really is poorly placed, it should at least have a hinge mechanism to make it easier to view and operate. I'm sure they'll make one soon and charge an extra 50 for what is clearly a design flaw fix. And they do sell a "special" carafe for the Rivelia only for cold drinks...another strange move from DeLonghi if not only for economical purpose.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Thanks for commenting - what do you like more about the Rivelia over the Prima Donna? I haven't tried the latter yet.

[@esciano78]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner I think the UI is more intuitive and pleasant to use than the Prima Donna's, even considering it has a few more features. The screen is vibrant, responsive and a joy to use if it wasn't for the terrible positioning. Besides that, it has a much smaller footprint overall, the bean containers is a great idea and well implemented, even if bean waste may be an issue, you have a nice range of colors to choose from and I don't know why but the espresso from the Rivelia is more to my taste than the Prima Donna's (maybe the grinder came better calibrated from the factory, I can't thinlk of any other reason).

[@stevencgers7363]

#Rivelia Tom, I really enjoy your videos. Your in-depth reviews are very informative. I enjoy the traditional method of making espresso,but a machine like the Rivelia gives the opportunity for those,that find traditional espresso machines too complicated, to make their favorite drink.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

I agree. It's very convenient, and also offers coffee crema and other drinks for people to try out easily.

[@MsHellas21]

What is the extra grey bit? You pull out when you’ve made your espresso?

[@adampantano9919]

This or the soul!? I drink mainly Espresso or Americano, and have had a Prima Donna elite… so not sure if the rivelia would feel like an ever so slight downgrade!?

I love your videos soooo much Tom! Would you choose this one over the Eletta Explore? 😊 I'm torn between the two!

[@tanyamirza1976]

Same! Which did u choose

[@Vanoual]

@@tanyamirza1976 I think that will go with the Eletta Explore! Having seen both in the shop, I prefer the design of the Eletta and the fact that it can easily make a drink in a "mug to go" is a real plus in my opinion. Not to mention the cold drinks! (where you have to buy the latte crema cold separately on the Rivelia)

I have purchased the Breville Oracle Jet and Love it! I think the clean up on the Jet is less involved. Also purchased the Nespresso Breville Christia while I have been waiting for the Rivelia. I am beginning to think I would be with the Delonghi Eletta. Thank you for the demo.

[@larsberg46]

Hello Tom. Can you please do a comparison between the Magnifica Evo Next vs. Magnifica Evo Plus? Would be great! Cheers & thanks for your channel.

[@Grayvas]

Not sure if someone can help me with this question. But I have recently purchased a Delonghi Eletta Explore. Happy with the machine, but I noticed that the volume the output (in ml) seems smaller then what is shown in this (and other videos). Largest size of cup that both the machine and the app allow on my end is 250 ml. If I look at the videos, that seems to be a larger cup size (if I am not mistaken). Does anyone know what may cause the difference. I am located in the Netherlands if it matters. Also nice video on the #Rivelia. Good as always.

[@MichaelJohnsenOslo]

You might be grinding the beans too fine, DeLonghis grinds finer than most machines. Try to make the grind more coarse and see if it outputs a higher volume.

[@Pettro0]

Please tell me if this machine can definitely make espresso with 15g of coffee? Because Kev's in his review weighed how much coffee this machine grinds at each level and at the highest it is only 10g?

A little disappointed in DeLonghi in how they made the water container externally. They sought of faked their way to make it look like a smaller footprint. With it really not being a smaller than their other offerings. Looking forward to a comparison between this, the Eletta (ECAM450.55 or .86) and the Prima Donna Soul. Especially the amount of excess water through cleaning and purging pre and post a coffee being made. Nice videos… Thank you.

I've been trying to decide between this one and Philips 3200 LatteGo, how does this one compare to that or do you recommend one over the other? (They are similarly priced from where I am from)

[@ResKurt]

One mishap Tom, you need the cold milk can (white one) to produce cold drinks. Same as with the Eletta Explore. Only the Eletta has extra cold brew technologie. So I'm guessing that the milk and the ice cubes will be cold but the coffe comes out hot. Where with the eletta the coffee also will be much colder. Right?

I bought the Delonghi Rivelia from my retirement collection and am extremely happy with my purchase. It makes really good coffee which I look forward to in the mornings. I normally brew my coffee with coffee beans but cannot determine how to change from beans to pre-ground coffee. I used the scoop and poured the pre-ground coffee in the funnel and found that the machine still brewed the coffee from the bean hopper. I later found that the pre-ground coffee had accumulated in the tray underneath. I am missing something here as I can't find an option on the menu to change from beans to pre-ground coffee although the machine is designed for both. Can anyone help? Thank you

[@oana1111]

For me the user friendly water tank and easy to refill bean pod (also with less air contact) made all the difference when purchasing. All other models are not well engineered, with the water tank in the back (against the wall !?) or having to slide it all the way out just to refill one cup of filtered water through a small opening - daunting task before the 1st cup of the day. As for the grains refill, imagine having to lift a lid with one hand and with the other aim a 1kg bag of coffee for the right opening, all this under a suspended cupboard, because kitchen... . I would have gone for the cheapest from Delonghi had I not seen this one. I could kiss the engineers who designed it. We're not coffee connoisseurs by far, so one touch makes coffee, adjustable by user profile, is the way to go. I can make my "raise the dead" strong espresso and DH can make his espresso soup from the same beans. My only problem with it is that it made the Nescafe capsule coffee taste like sock wash by comparison :)))

@@elisanadia6350 They are quite similar in their capabilities, but since I have used the Dinamica more, I will say that one.

[@SN4YZE]

@3:35 it can do cold milk-foam, but you need the LatteCrema Cool accessory set (99,90€)! I bought the Rivelia in germany yesterday for 750€ including this Cool Latte Set, a cleaning and descaler set and a set of two Delonghi Coffe Beans, therefore its a good price overall. The normal price of 799€ without all the accessorys was to high to convince me first, but i wanted this machine since it came out because more and more family members started drinking decaffeinated coffee in the afternoon and the usual machines with two bean containers mostly all cost over €1500.

[@oana1111]

how do you deal with the bean hopper change on the daily? You do it even twice a day.

[@SN4YZE]

@oana1111 I switch them twice a day, normal on the morning, decaf in the afternoon, no problems so far

[@h1ssg]

I'm torn between the Rivelia and the Dinamica Plus (around $200-300 difference for me in Singapore) as a first machine - I've been Nespresso for 15 years. I do mainly milk based coffees like Caps and Lattes and my son does hot chocolates. As a family we do 3-4 cups of coffees a day. What do you think?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Honestly they're quite close, but I'd go for the Dinamica. If your household has that many people using it, you'll want the larger dimensioned machine.

[@boaznkini2490]

Great review, I have bought the machine because of your review. One question: do you manage to get consistent hard pucks out of the machine? Mine are watery and falling apart, though I followed the bean adapt advice and set grinding from 5 to 4. Even at finer grinding to 3 does not help. Espresso seems to me lacking also depth and aroma. Ist there any advice you can give? Thanks for your help and support!

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

That's strange. I do get good defined pucks, as shown in the video. Maybe it has something to do with the beans. Which ones are you using?

[@boaznkini2490]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I have used the Omkafe Diamante from Lake Garda, actually stellar beans (Arabica/Robusto). Today I have replaced them with Gorilla Superbar Crema. Its getting a bit better with those, however the pucks still fall apart, but are less watery. What I have discovered is that the pucks keep their definition if I make Latte or Cappuccino. By making pure Espressi the issue still persists however. Need to play around with the bean adapt and Espresso settings as it seems….

[@fesch4354]

@boaznkini2490 Bei mir ist immer nur der erste Puck mehr oder minder Matsch. Die anderen sind normal und zwar ganz egal, welche Bohnen ich genutzt habe.

Mahlgrad war immer zwischen 3-5, beim Espresso habe ich die Bean-Adapt-Option genutzt, das Ergebnis ist immer dasselbe. Ich tüftle weiter. Dir viel Spaß und Erfolg mit dem Maschinchen.

Hi all, how can I in the US buy this from another country? I want this model with the 2 hoppers and I like this style.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

I'm afraid you can't, because it's not made for 120V and 60Hz. Hopefully Delonghi will make it for the N.A. market soon. Cheers!

Hi, would you go for this one or the Barista Pro, not really fussed about the Pro not being fully automatic? From the 2 what's your recommendation putting aside the semi manual/fully automatic?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Well, you'll get silkier milk, and admittedly a better espresso shot with the Pro. Also, you'll get to practice the craft. Cheers!

Great video as always, Tom! Delonghi superautomatics, you can close your eyes and recognize the tamping sound right away! Ive been having really nice and balanced shots with Magnifica S in my office (the beans are horrible tho), so I know how those machines manage. I hope that with #Rivelia they've built upon that great quality. Screen should come with built in arm to adjust its position, or something...

How many grams does Magnifica Plus grind? I can't find the information anywhere. Thanks.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Sorry, I haven't tried the Magnifica Plus yet. But I think it will be similar to the Rivelia.

[@subetov]

@TomsCoffeeCorner Thanks.

#Rivelia I think you convinced me to buy it. I often drink decaffeinated coffee. My biggest fear was that it doesn't make as good coffee as the other Delonghi machines, but you convinced me.

[@orodrigocruz]

Do you think the quality it is more similar to Magnífica or Dinamica?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Closer to Dinamica - quite close in fact.

#Rivelia Hello Tom, the new Rivelia looks really nice. Two hoppers are cool and the option to do cold milk drinks with another milk carafe. But the main problem is that now I can't decide if We will buy the new Rivelia or Dinamica Plus! :-) Which one would you choose? Thank you!
