De'Longhi Rivelia EXAM440.55.W

After two weeks of testing the DeLonghi Rivelia EXAM440.55.G, I am quite impressed. As an experienced coffee lover, who has already used various machines from Senseo to fully automatic machines, I was curious about this model. What appealed to me most is that you can use different types of beans, just like with Nespresso, but with real coffee beans. My girlfriend likes decaf, while I like to experiment with different types of coffee. Previously, we had two fully automatic machines on our counter, but this machine offers an excellent solution. Starting up the machine went smoothly. The DeLonghi Rivelia EXAM440.55.G has a large, clear display and the installation instructions were clear. What I particularly appreciate is that you can fine-tune your personal coffee taste thanks to the Bean Adapt technology in combination with the Bean Switch system. For example, I like to drink strong coffee, while my girlfriend prefers a milder variant. This machine helps you find the right settings for grinding, temperature and strength. Once set up, you don’t have to look at it again. The only downside is that you have to brew three cups before you can use a new setting. An instant change option would have been handy. The LatteCrema milk frother that comes with the machine makes it easy to make delicious milk coffees. The machine automatically recognises the frother, tells you when it needs to be cleaned and is dishwasher safe. Pros: Easy to switch between different beans User-friendly interface Easy to clean, with clear on-screen instructions Perfect for milk coffees such as cappuccinos Cons: Some coffee is lost when changing beans The water tank and coffee grounds container are on the small side Disclaimer: I received the DeLonghi Rivelia EXAM440.55.G as part of a product test. This review is objective and based on my personal experience.
