Overview
The Rivelia's standout feature is its Bean Switch system: two bean containers you can swap, and the machine recognizes which one is fitted.
Otherwise it works like other De'Longhi bean-to-cup machines: it grinds and brews automatically and froths milk in its LatteCrema Hot carafe.
Who should skip it
You only ever drink one kind of coffee, or you want manual control.
What else you will need
- Whole-bean coffee (avoid very oily dark roasts in automatic grinders)
- Fresh cold milk for the carafe
- Descaling solution
