DeLonghi EXAM440.35.W Rivelia coffee machine

Siistin näköinen laite ja pienempi kuin aiempi DeLonghi. Hyvää kahvia, veden sekä papaujen lisäys helppoa.

After months of researching and comparing machines from Breville, Philips, SMEG and other De'Longhi models, I finally settled on the Rivelia with Steam Wand (Arctic White), and I couldn't be happier with the decision.

What ultimately sold me was the balance between automation and control. Unlike fully automatic milk systems, the manual steam wand gives me enough control to texture milk properly for flat whites and piccolos while still enjoying the convenience of a bean-to-cup machine. Since I usually make coffee for both my wife and myself, this has proven to be the perfect compromise.

The standout feature is undoubtedly the Bean Switch System. I currently have Seven Seeds' Golden Gate in one hopper and plan to keep other hoppers loaded with Code Black's Ex-Wife and a decaf blend. Being able to switch between beans without emptying the hopper is a genuinely useful innovation, not just a marketing gimmick. It suits households that enjoy different coffees throughout the day and encourages experimenting with different roasters.

The Bean Adapt Technology is another pleasant surprise. It provides a solid starting point for dialling in new beans, although a little fine-tuning of grind size and strength still makes a noticeable difference. Once dialled in, the coffee is consistently excellent.

The touchscreen interface is intuitive, the machine is compact enough for most kitchens, and cleaning is refreshingly straightforward. Choosing the steam wand version also means fewer milk system components to dismantle and clean compared with automatic milk carafes. The Rivelia is designed to make coffee approachable while still giving users room to personalise their drinks.

Most importantly, the coffee quality has exceeded my expectations for a super-automatic machine. No, it won't completely replace a dedicated espresso setup with a quality grinder and portafilter, but it gets remarkably close while requiring a fraction of the effort. For everyday flat whites and piccolos, it's consistently smooth, balanced and enjoyable.

Pros

Innovative Bean Switch System with interchangeable bean hoppers.

Excellent balance between convenience and customisation.

Manual steam wand offers much better control for milk texture.

Bean Adapt Technology helps optimise different beans.

Compact, modern design that looks fantastic in the kitchen.

Easy to use and easy to clean.

Consistently great coffee with minimal effort.

Cons

Espresso still won't quite match the depth and precision of a dedicated manual espresso machine, which is a common limitation of bean-to-cup machines.

It takes a little experimentation to get the best settings for each coffee bean.

The additional bean hoppers are so useful that you'll probably end up buying more!

Overall, I think the Rivelia with Steam Wand is ideal for people who genuinely appreciate good coffee but don't necessarily want espresso-making to become a hobby. It delivers café-quality convenience while still allowing enough control to satisfy coffee enthusiasts. For my household, it has been an outstanding purchase and one I would happily recommend.

We have had our coffee machine at our workplace for the last month, and I cannot believe how amazing the quality of the coffee is. It easily beats our coffee shop down the road. Obviously reliant on the quality of the beans, but amazing nonetheless. Requires basically no cleaning. Everything is automated. Genuinely life changing!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the white Rivelia automated coffee machine, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! From the moment I unboxed it, the sleek and modern design caught my eye, adding a touch of elegance to my kitchen counter.

                  One of the standout features of the Rivelia is its user-friendly interface. With just a few button presses, I can choose my desired brew strength, temperature, and even the type of drink I want—whether it's a rich espresso, creamy latte, or a cappuccino coffee. The machine heats up quickly, and I love how it can seamlessly make multiple servings for when I have guests over.
                  The taste of the coffee is simply outstanding! Each cup is brewed to perfection, capturing all the rich flavours and aromas that I look for in my morning cup. The built-in grinder ensures that I can always start with fresh beans, which makes a significant difference in the quality of my coffee.
                  Cleaning is a breeze as well! The removable components are dishwasher-safe, and the integrated cleaning settings make maintenance simple and hassle-free. I appreciate how Rivelia has thought of everything to enhance my coffee experience.
                  Additionally, the stylish white finish adds a contemporary vibe to my kitchen decor. It’s not just a coffee machine; it’s a statement piece!
                  Overall, I highly recommend the Rivelia automated coffee machine and accessories to anyone who values quality coffee and convenience. It has truly transformed my daily routine, with the pleasant coffee aroma permeating through my kitchen and has made me excited about each cup.
                  Thank you, Delonghi, for creating such a fantastic coffee experience!
