De'Longhi Rivelia or Philips 5500 Series LatteGo?

What actually differs between the De'Longhi Rivelia and the Philips 5500 Series LatteGo, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • There is barely anything between them on price, so you can leave that out of it.
  • 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: the Rivelia does it with a carafe that clips onto the machine; the 5500 Series LatteGo with a LatteGo jug, no tubes.
  • Cleaning the Rivelia's milk system: 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.
  • Cleaning the 5500 Series LatteGo's milk system: after every use, take it off and rinse it under the tap or put it in the dishwasher.
  • The 5500 Series LatteGo has 4 more recipes on the menu.
