But these aren't just decorative accolades. The design decisions that earned recognition translate directly into improved daily usability. The compact footprint fits kitchens where counter space is precious, while the top-mounted bean hoppers and side-access water tank eliminate the awkward cabinet clearance issues that plague many traditional designs.

The Delonghi Rivelia is one of the coffee machines that can prepare the largest number of recipes. Specifically, it's capable of making all the recipes you’ll see on screen. The difference between each recipe lies in the amount of coffee, milk, and milk foam used in each preparation.

Unboxing the new De’Longhi Rivelia and I have to say, this machine feels like a real upgrade. The design is so sleek and it’s surprisingly easy to set up, literally just add beans and water and you’re ready to go. I love that you can adjust everything from the strength to the milk texture, so every cup tastes exactly how you like it.

While it's definitely an investment for the sheer convenience, versatility, and quality of drinks, many find it worth every penny. Now, a few folks have mentioned they wish their coffee was a tad hotter, and like any advanced machine, a small number of users have reported minor tech hiccups. But when this machine is humming along, it delivers pure coffee bliss.

The Rivelia textures milk with the same quality as the Magnifica Plus, though it doesn’t quite match it in espresso extraction. In my Magnifica Plus vs. Rivelia comparison , I go into detail analyzing other aspects that make me favor the Magnifica Plus overall. That said, the Rivelia is an excellent alternative if you’re looking for more flexibility in preparing different drinks.

It is not a very solid build, for my taste you can notice the plastic too much, but I acknowledge that the appearance is original, innovative, different from any other super-automatic, and certainly from what De’Longhi has designed so far.
