De'Longhi Rivelia or Gaggia Accademia?

What actually differs between the De'Longhi Rivelia and the Gaggia Accademia, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • The Rivelia is €1,047.00 cheaper.
  • Both are the same kind of machine, a bean-to-cup, so they work the same way.
  • Both have a built-in grinder, so you do not need to buy one.
  • Milk works the same on both: with a carafe that clips onto the machine.
  • Cleaning the milk system is the same on both: A rinse with the clean button after every milk drink, and after the last one the carafe apart and into the dishwasher. With milk in it, 2 days in the fridge at most.
