De'Longhi Rivelia: The End of Pod Coffee For Me (Unsponsored 6 Month Review)

I spent £659 of my own money on the De'Longhi Rivelia bean-to-cup coffee machine. After six months of heavy daily use, this is my honest and detailed long-term review. Find out if it's the right machine for you.

In this review, I cover everything you need to know before you buy. We look at the responsive touchscreen, the 18+ drink options, the clever Bean Adapt technology, and the LatteCrema milk system. I also discuss the real-world reliability, the simple cleaning process, its compact size, and how its noise level compares to a standard Nespresso pod machine.

✅ In This Review, We Cover:

The 3.5-inch touchscreen and intuitive user interface.
Drink customisation, including strength settings and adding extra shots.
How the Bean Adapt technology automatically adjusts for your coffee beans.
A 6-month reliability report: no errors, no clogging, no issues.
The simple but effective notifications for water, coffee grinds, and cleaning.
The clever floating red indicator in the drip tray.
The automatic self-cleaning cycles for both the coffee spout and milk frother.
Why the 1.1L side-mounted water tank is a great design choice.
A real-world noise level comparison to a Nespresso machine.
The quality of the LatteCrema milk foam and the convenience of the detachable carafe.
