I have tested the De'Longhi Rivelia EXAM440.55.W for 3 weeks now and I am not entirely convinced. The device is easy to use and actually plug and play out of the box. The screen guides you through all the steps. In no time you have your first coffee. The milk container delivers excellent foam and the choice is huge. The device cleans itself, which is also easy. However, there are also some drawbacks. Especially if you set the grind of the coffee to very fine, the device does not deliver enough pressure, causing your coffee to drip instead of flowing. And then it takes a very long time before you have coffee. Sometimes it even gets stuck. In addition, the residue container and the water container are relatively small, which means you have to deal with these containers more often than you would like. Finally, in my experience, the LED screen gives too many notifications ranging from warnings to tips. In short, a handy device, but not the best.

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

The Delongi Rivelia is a very special coffee making experience. This machine is very versatile and makes a great coffee in no time. There are many settings possible.
Installing the device is very easy. There is a touchscreen which is placed at the top. This may be a problem for people with deep upper cabinets in the kitchen. In my case it is fine. The screen actually tells you what to do. Unfortunately, the installation does not cover placing the water filter, which makes it a bit of a search to find out how to do this. The user manual for this device can be downloaded using a QR code. Later in the manual, placing the water filter is covered. As mentioned, the touchscreen helps you install it very easily in the language of your choice.
The device works with a canister in which you can put the coffee beans. This can be closed so that the coffee stays fresh. The canister can be placed in the device at the top. By turning it a quarter turn, the bottom of the can opens and the beans enter the grinding system. What is really great about this is that you can work with different cans and therefore with different types of coffee. Individual cans are available via the Delongi website. So you can try endless different types of coffee.
This device has been very well thought out. It is possible to set a profile for each person in your household. In such a profile you can then set your own favorite coffees according to your own preference. The amount of water, the desired amount of coffee beans, the temperature.
With the Bean Adapt Technology you can set the best grind per type of coffee. The machine guides you in this by means of the display. Super handy.
The LatteCrema reservoir can be filled with milk of your choice. I use skimmed milk and this gives me a great firm layer of froth. It is very easy to operate with a button on top of the reservoir. You can use the button to set the thickness of your froth layer. After preparation, the display indicates that you need to rinse the milk system. This also works with the rotary knob, very handy and fast. The Cappuccino that I like to drink is really great. It works better with this device than in some catering establishments. Cleaning the device is also very easy. The display indicates when the coffee grounds container needs to be emptied. You can also clean the drip tray at the same time.
My tip. I always put a piece of kitchen paper on the shiny grid under the cups. I know from experience that cups leave quite a few scratches on the grid. I think this is a waste of the beautiful device.
Final conclusion. I was given the opportunity to test this device. In this short time I have really become attached to this machine. The coffees that it prepares are great. The ease of use also plays a major role in this. I would definitely recommend this machine.
