Hi mate, struggling to decide to get one of these or a semi automatic machine in the breville barista pro machine. Which one does better coffee ? Cheers mate
I haven't used the Breville Barista Pro myself, but I can vouch for the Rivelia. Even now I'm reviewing the much more expensive Delonghi Elatta Explore, and I still prefer te Rivelia for value and ease of use.
Aren’t all or most of your downsides catered for in the slightly more expensive PrimaDonna Soul….?. I originally looked at the Maestro, then the Soul then this came out. Thanks for the local look and impressions. I like the footprint & the dual removable bean grinder containers of this but may still go the Soul one day when…..😁👍
At a glance, you could be right! I haven't used it myelf, but can see the screen position is clearly better. Does look bigger. Need to get my hands on it!
Ohhh, funny you should mention that. I just got the Eletta Explore in to review. Have yet to set it up, but will be able to get back to you with a hands-on response shortly.
@@graemeclark6671 Just unboxed the Eletta Explore. Much bigger than the Rivelia and not as sexy, but loooks like it can do plenty. Will know more after a few weeks of use. Cold brew is a big focus by the looks of it.
hey can you give me info about this coffee maker ? I want to know how much milk can be poured at the minimum and how much coffee its max with minimum milk. I drinking coffee with max 70-100 ml milk in my loved big mug. I want a lot of coffee with 70-100ml milk. Maybe 2x coffee with 50ml milk ? My mug have 500ml capacity
I think you should be able to achieve this goal. I usually put double shot of coffee in there, and then you've got a decent amount of milk control. I have the opposite problem in that I want a bit more coffee and milk. I don't have a machine at the moment, so I can't test it directly for you. If I can find out more information I will let you know.
It's a good point, but it's not possible on all setting I don't think, but someone else mentioned this so I do need to experiment with it more to see if there is a way to make it work with my kind of coffee.
I was undecided until i watched your review! Went and bought one from Harvey Norman today while on special 😊 I came here to tell you it definitely has the MY option which allows a free ppir for the coffee which you tell it when to stop then does the same for the milk. This option is in the setting where you can adjust the size and intensity. Hooe that makes sense! Great review, thankyou 😊
I hope your enjoying it. And thanks for the tips on MY, it wasn't in the particular coffee settings I was using for my type of coffee, which is unfortunate. But seems to be available elsewhere. I'm glad it's there and embarassed that I missed it. Enjoy your coffee!
I have one and the screen placement was my first comment you are 100% right. This machine is great I had a Jura lots of issues returned it swapped for Revilia , this machine is even better. No complaints apart from screen visuals
Hmm... I don't know, but my gut is telling me it's not wise. I've been putting the chocolate in the cup and then letting the milk mix in with it. It could work, my worry would be the chocolate clogging the froth head.
Re the carafe size being large, I find it useful as I decant my milk into the carafe in the morning and then just remove it from the machine to store in the fridge between drinks 👍🏻😋
Hey mate. you can use the My Function, under the beverage settings, in order to save the exact amount of coffee and milk you would like in your cup. Cheers.
Yeah mate, a few people have mentioned that. It doesn't show up in the one setting I use (yet!), but for the majority of consumers, absolutely there and a hand feature. Thank you!
@@motivatedtravel Great, been playing round with the settings. Found that I got a "my" option where I can customize each drink, eg. how much milk it should pour, on the same page as the options for size and intensity. Maybe they have different options/software in different part of the world..?
@@tobiask2322 Maybe there's been a software update? I think my unit was right on release, or even pre-release model. Or I somehow just missed it on the my particular coffee choices. Either way, really happy to hear that it's there and sorting people out.
I’ve had two fully auto Delonghi Machines - the Eletta Explore and the Primadonna Soul. Both have the “My” function which allows you to customise the beverage quantities exactly how you like (more/less milk & water). No clue why this model being newer wouldn’t have that functionality. Also noticed the extra shot function which is good, that’s a new function.
That's interesting. Just relooked through the UI, and definitely cannot see that feature. I do wonder how many "features" De'Longhi holds back on given it has so many entries in the space. It needs to - perhaps artificially - create points of differentiation. That could just be my inner cynic.
@@motivatedtravel Great review! I've had my Rivelia 7 days now and I love it. The first thing I didn't like was the angle of the display. It would have been so easy to angle it forward. On the subject of the "My" function, mine definitely has it and I use it to customise my quantities as mentioned above. Double check the settings to see if it's disabled on yours maybe

De'longhi Rivelia Review - Best Fully Automatic Coffee Machine?
Is it? I thought it was pretty good.

Sorry mate, I forgot to mention the Eletta Explore that and the Soul are my two top picks….
Great review and i love this machine
But if you have to choose between rivelia and eletta explore
What would you choose?!
Ohhh, funny you should mention that. I just got the Eletta Explore in to review. Have yet to set it up, but will be able to get back to you with a hands-on response shortly.
@@motivatedtravellooking forward to your conclusion. I’m between the dynamica plus, eletta explore and this rivelia.

You can personalise your coffee amount in “my”

thank you for review
You're welcome!
Love the looks of this machine, but not sure my Latte cups can fit that small space on the plate
It's a cool design isn't it. But yes, not too much room for bigger cups.

If you buy one now, delonghi offers extended warranty of 5 years
That's good to know!

Cheers Bob. Glad you like the machine and always nice to hear that you're not alone when it comes to some criticisms.
Do you know if I can put chocolate milk in the milk frothing? Or can I only use milk?
Hmm... I don't know, but my gut is telling me it's not wise. I've been putting the chocolate in the cup and then letting the milk mix in with it.
It could work, my worry would be the chocolate clogging the froth head.
Dual hoppers, nice
Yeah, it's such a nice little bonus.
Thanks Chris a great presentation. I’ve been looking for a coffee machine, this is the one and the real treat it makes great coffee ☕️
I certainly have enjoyed it. I hope you like it, too.
Great video
Thank you!
Re the carafe size being large, I find it useful as I decant my milk into the carafe in the morning and then just remove it from the machine to store in the fridge between drinks 👍🏻😋
Actually that's what I've starting doing, too, lol. Takes up a bit of space, but not too bad.
@@motivatedtravel we have our milk delivered in pint bottles. After a cup of tea or two, the remainder fits in the carafe so no extra space needed 😀

@@motivatedtravel on the beverage settings screen: it is a round circle that says "MY" located on the left side of the "brew" button. Hope this helps.
@@JoaoPimentel-w7k thank you! Was an embarassing miss! Lol!
So the standard is 1 shot unless you select extra?
Correct!
Just bought one on special offer for the equivalent of AUD 1,208 directly from De'Longhi - thanks for the great review! Greetings from Sweden
Nice price! Are you enjoying it so far?

@@Cueba11UK Thank you. I did find it in the end, but it only seems to work with hot milk, not flat white or similar coffee mix.
Can you get 2 cups per brew?
Two espresso cups, yes - see here ua-cam.com/video/P_2Pr-hzWoU/v-deo.html
These milk frothers are always worse than manual frothing.
Most things automatic are for sure. But if it gets close and saves on effort, it's a win-win.
The frother is really good on this machine IMHO.
@@laurencecarr670 Oh the froth it delivers is excellent, i agree.
Does it actually stay warm in the mug as I have the Ellita and it doesn’t.
In which mug? Your mug? Coffee comes out perfect imo.
@@motivatedtravel like I say the machine I have it goes Luke warm after a couple of minutes and doesn’t keep its temperature.
todaaaaaay
Or tomorrow?
