De'Longhi Rivelia Espresso Machine review: Elevated one-touch coffee
In recent years, I've come to appreciate coffee much more than I did as a regular Starbucks Vanilla Latte drinker (no hate, they're still delicious). I've started to branch out into the world of local coffee shops and small-batch beans, and the flexibility that comes with learning how to craft my own beverages at home. Article content Article content That said, I'm still getting the hang of the correct ratios of beans to water to milk needed for the perfect drinks, which is why I've defaulted to using a Nespresso Vertuo machine for the past few years. It's quick, convenient and simple to use, but lately I've found myself interested in trying out a machine that offers more versatility and customization — not to mention the freedom to venture beyond Nespresso pods. Article content That's where the De'Longhi Rivelia Espresso Machine comes in. As the newest addition to the brand's lineup of automated espresso machines, it offers the best of both worlds for coffee novices like me. With a set of pre-programmed drinks, users can choose from a wide range of coffee and espresso-based beverages with the touch of a button. It also offers advanced customization settings for coffee pros to select their preferred intensity, grind settings and temperature. Read my full review and a breakdown of who should consider investing in the De'Longhi Rivelia below. Article content Article content Smart menu: The Rivelia can brew up 18 different recipes from its pre-set menu of drinks. It learns your preferences over time and suggests drinks based on the time of day, ensuring a coffee routine that fits your unique profile. Article content Article content Personalized profiles: Create up to four profiles via the 3.5″ touch screen, customizing drink strength, milk texture, and more for each member of the family. Article content Article content Article content Setup of this De'Longhi espresso machine was pretty quick and simple, as the touch screen displayed step-by-step instructions to get started. The machine walks you through everything from attaching the coffee bean hopper to running a pre-clean cycle and creating user profiles. Since my husband and I will both be using this machine, we created separate profiles where we can each save our favourite drinks, intensity settings and bean preferences. All in all, we went from unboxing the machine to drinking a trial espresso in about 15 minutes.
