Most versatile automatic machine on market
on April 26, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bean-to-cup super-automatic machine is impressive! Dēlonghi's new Revalia is the new standard for super-automatic espresso machines! It's very versatile, and fast, and makes amazing coffee beverages! First and foremost, it makes great beverages! (from espressos to milk-based drinks) I love that you can have 2 different varieties of beans and switch back and forth between the two. (decaf and regular, for instance?) For other machines, you would need to clear out the hopper first. (It even comes with two hoppers!) It makes several pre-set beverages but has lots of options for customization. If you're looking for a super-automatic espresso machine that does it all, The DēLonghi Revalia is your choice!

Absolutely impressive!
on April 26, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is absolutely amazing! I have tried a few, but this one is the most user-friendly and intuitive by far. I just got it out of the box and plugged it in, and almost didn’t even need the instruction manual. It brought me step-by-step through everything I needed to set it up and get going. As it’s going through the steps, there are visuals on the screen instructing you where to find parts. It’s so customizable, from the water hardness based on the test strip, to making user profiles and changing the name and avatar. There are so many drinks to choose from! And with each one, you can customize it even further, such as cup size, intensity, and if you want an extra shot of espresso! You can save your favorite customized drinks to each user based on the time of day, which is really helpful. My husband and I have different tastes, so it’s nice to not have to keep telling the machine each parameter every time you want a drink. The interchangeable hoppers are a nice touch too, so you’re not stuck with only one kind of coffee beans. And speaking of beans, it has a technology that can configure the roast level based on the type of beans you have. That’s such an impressive personalized touch. It makes a mean flat white, and with any of the milk drinks, it tells you exactly how much milk to put in the carafe so you don’t have any waste. Even the regular black coffee has a nice crema! I love that it’s an all-in-one machine, as I was never able to get nice milk foam on my own. This one is seriously impressive with the customizable milk foam options. I really have no major complaints about this machine. It’s slightly long depth-wise, but is not wide and I would say fairly compact for the amount of drinks and features that it has. It’s well worth a shot…….of espresso!

Skip the coffee shop

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not going to lie, I was a little intimidated by the machine and setting it up. But it was so easy to set up. Not only does it give you paper instructions but once you turn on the machine, they walk you through the steps of setting up the machine.
There is some maintenance that needs to be done in a machine like changing water filters and emptying out the coffee drip but honestly, it is all very simple. if you have any coffee machine, it is similar to the maintenance of your normal coffee machine.
Now the fun part is making the coffee , the amount of endless drinks that you can make is impressive. My coffee taste better than Starbucks in the fact that I can make it in the leisure of my home is even better. I highly recommend this for anyone who is trying to step away from using pods to make their drinks.

One of life's best luxuries!
on April 26, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never knew I needed an espresso machine until now. This thing elevates your at home coffee experience to the max. I have not bought a coffee since I got this. It makes a great coffee or espresso drink at home - cheaper and better in most cases! It is incredibly easy to use and setup. You simply follow the directions on the screen. Maintenance has been easy throughout as well. You really just have to empty the drip tray and wash the milk container. You have endless possibilities. My teens love it too and even show it off when they have friends come over - so you know it's cool! We have a growing syrup collection as well to add more customizations. Also the nozzle the espresso comes out of is height adjustable. We didn't realize that right away. But I truly can't say enough good things about this machine. I also love that you can easily swap out the beans if you have people who like different things or maybe drink decaf instead. This is obviously a luxury, but it's a luxury that is 100% worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product! You can tell it is high quality right out of the box. I love that it is fully automatic and has a frother built in. I normally use nespresso but will be replacing that with this.

Maybe too automatic?
on April 28, 2025
Posted by: nanaki3_8128
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Prior to this, I had an inexpensive semi-automatic espresso machine. This one is an absolute breeze to use. Push a button, wait a minute, bam, cappuccino! Push a button again, double espresso. Can't beat the convenience.
There's a lot of pieces to clean for the initial set up and it seemed daunting, but routine cleaning hasn't been that difficult. I appreciate the reminders to clean the carafe and drip tray so I really don't need to think about it at all.
I especially appreciate that it comes with two bean hoppers and you can switch between them easily. I can make a decaf drink for my kids with minimal effort.
The downsides? Despite using the same beans as I used to, my espresso is coming out sour. I've been adjusting the grind and trying to find other settings to adjust, but I haven't gotten it right yet. I was able to get better results with a separate grinder and tamping myself.
Likewise, I preferred having more control over the milk frother. This one isn't bad, but it doesn't get as thick as I could with my old espresso machine.
All in all, I think it's a good machine. I'm sure I'll get better with it as I use it longer. But I think the ideal machine for me would be somewhere between my cheap old one and this one. If you're in the market for a fully automatic, bean to cup machine, I think this is a great option!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE! I don’t know how I went without one before 🥲✨❤️ it’s a bit pricey, but worth the price, especially if you a huge coffee drinker. It’s easy to clean, I always clean it right after using it.

De’Longhi Rivelia Espresso Machine
on April 28, 2025
Posted by: ainsleyo97_5800
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I truly trust the De’Longhi brand to make an amazing espresso machine. I’ve been using a Nespresso Vertuo for years, so I was very excited to test out a more-savvy espresso machine with De’Longhi’s Rivelia.
This machine is impressive, which you should expect with a product that comes with such a hefty price tag. The two bean hoppers make switching between coffee flavors or strengths a breeze, and my boyfriend and I love the user profiles so we can customize our cups to our own preferences. I absolutely love the iced coffee option! All the coffee options I’ve tried so far have been delicious. Depending on which coffee you choose, you can customize your cup to be extra strong or to be a small light cup of coffee. You can also customize the milk froth to be extra thick or a light foam. The machine thankfully isn’t too loud in the mornings to the point where you’d worry about waking others in your household.
I also really enjoy the self-cleaning functions, and that the machine alerts me when a separate deep cleaning is needed for the milk frother, for example. It will walk you through how to separate each part every time it needs to be thrown in the dishwasher. During setup, it also will have you choose your water hardness which will help it determine when to ask you to clean other functions of the machine. Since owning this a little over a month, I have not been asked by the machine to clean or descale it, but will be prepared for it based on the hardness level I elected upon setup.
A few things that do bother me about this machine, but may not bother you: 1. As mentioned above, I was impressed with the water hardness aspect, as it will allow the machine to gauge when to clean; however, to elect the water hardness during setup, the machine asks that you use an “included” water test strip. I do trust that this strip is usually included with the machine. But, after searching the Accessories box high and low about 5 times, I could not find the test strip in my package. I wonder if it was just missing from some Influenster boxes on accident? I had to call De’Longhi customer care, and while they were helpful in choosing my water hardness based on whether or not I can drink my tap water, I would’ve liked to get a more accurate read based on the included strip that the instructions tell the owner to use. The service rep was great, but the only other solution they offered was to go to Home Depot and purchase my own strips. 2. I don’t love the fact that to warm up upon powering on, the machine ejects some water. There have been some mornings where I cannot function correctly until I have caffeine, so I forget to put a glass underneath the spout and water goes into the bottom tray. Water also dispenses when the machine powers off. It’s an easy clean-up, but this can be annoying if you forget or do not store a glass under the spout when the machine isn’t in use for the next time you go to make your coffee. I also feel this looks a bit more cluttered for my kitchen countertop preferences, as the machine already takes up quite a bit of my countertop real-estate.
Overall, I absolutely love this machine. If you can afford the price tag and are looking for one of the best cups of coffee you can make at home, this is definitely the top pick. The Rivelia looks beautiful in my kitchen, brews like a charm from the start of bean grinding to the finish of piping hot (or iced!) coffee in your mug, has smart cleanup settings, and has allowed me to be my own barista. The cons are somewhat minimal, and I have luckily found my work-arounds over the past 6-8 weeks for both the water testing and the water dispensing during warm-up and cool-down. All in all, I give the Rivelia 4 out of 5 stars and look forward to trying out all the coffee settings!
