The black De'Longhi Rivelia (EXAM440.55.B) is pitched by De'Longhi at latte and cappuccino lovers who want a compact machine. It combines a 3.5 inch full-touch colour display with 16 pre-programmed drinks and the ability to switch between bean varieties, so a household can move from regular to decaf through the day.

In its favour

- You can switch between bean varieties, such as regular and decaf, through the day.

Good to know
- At 38.5 cm high it is the tallest machine here, so check cupboard clearance.
- The listing does not state the water tank size.
Our take
Drinks and display
The 16 drinks are chosen on the colour touch display at a single touch. The listing emphasises milk drinks, with LatteCrema Hot creating creamy foam for personalised lattes and cappuccinos.
An optional LatteCrema Cool Upgrade Set adds cold drinks, so iced options are possible later if you buy it.
Switching beans
De'Longhi says you can switch between multiple bean varieties so everyone in the house can enjoy their favourite. This listing does not give the hopper size; the white version lists two interchangeable 250 g hoppers. Bean Adapt Technology adjusts settings to get the best aroma and flavour from each bean.
For a household with a decaf drinker, that bean switching is the practical point: no emptying of hoppers and no stale beans left behind when you change over.
Compact core and design
On the worktop it takes up 24.5 cm of width, 43 cm of depth and 38.5 cm of height, and it weighs 9.7 kg. De'Longhi describes soft angles, seamless tactile surfaces and gloss highlights. The listing gives a 19 bar pump and 1450 watts. The water tank size is not stated here.
The item description mentions a Sand Beige finish while the colour field says Onyx Black, so check the photos to make sure you order the colour you want.
Cleaning
The spec table marks this listing as not dishwasher safe, while the white version describes a dishwasher-safe milk carafe. Check the manual for which parts can go in the dishwasher before relying on it.
Against the Magnifica Start and Jura ENA 8 Signature
The De'Longhi Magnifica Start is slightly narrower at 24 cm with LatteCrema Hot and four recipes. The Jura ENA 8 Signature is 27.1 cm wide with a fine foam nozzle and very detailed strength control. The Rivelia offers the most drinks and bean flexibility of the three.
Verdict
Buy the black De'Longhi Rivelia if you want a compact machine focused on milk drinks, with 16 options, bean switching and Bean Adapt. If you only need a few drinks, the De'Longhi Magnifica Start is simpler, and if you want precise strength control and a metal body, the Jura ENA 8 Signature is the alternative.
