Is the De'Longhi Rivelia worth it?
Yes — for one-touch coffee in a small kitchen.
It makes reliable, delicious espresso and milk drinks at the press of a button, adapts its grind to the beans, and the bean hopper lifts off so you can swap between two coffees. It's slimmer than most bean-to-cup machines and stores your own drink settings. It's expensive, and still too big for the tightest kitchens.
