When the Rivelia drops

Espresso machines drop hardest around Black Friday and in the weeks before Christmas. Leave your email address and pick below what you want to hear about.

The Rivelia is De'Longhi's answer to the household where one person drinks espresso and the other wants a lungo from a lighter roast: two bean containers you swap, with the machine clearing the grinder itself.

That sounds like a gimmick and is not, if you recognise the problem. If you do not, you are paying for a solution you will never use and a Magnifica Evo is the better buy.

Who for: Households where two different beans are drunk side by side.

What does it cost a year to maintain?

A worked example, not a specification: 2 cups a day (730 a year), the intervals from the maker's manual, with the water filter the maker recommends, and the lowest price in our catalog today.

Water filter · 6 a year: €65.94; De'Longhi: replace the filter after two months, even before the machine asks. 6 x DLSC002 water filter, 1 a pack, at €10.99
Descaler: Not stated; The machine says when, by your water hardness. De'Longhi gives no interval.
Cleaning tablets: Not needed; De'Longhi: rinse the brew group with water only, no cleaning agent.

Maintenance a year (the priced lines above)

€65.94

How often you descale depends on your water hardness. Where the maker gives no interval for it, we leave it out rather than estimate it.

Maintenance

Essential

Descaler

Limescale is what most machines die of, and vinegar attacks the seals. A liquid descaler declared suitable for espresso machines does the same job as the maker’s own branded fluid, usually for less.

Recommended

DLSC002 water filter

De’Longhi’s own filter, and a maintenance part that costs little. It stretches the interval between descalings.

Beans for this machine

Every bean fits every machine. What differs is the order: on a bean-to-cup the 100% arabica beans come first, because dark-roasted blends carrying robusta give off more oil and that clogs a built-in grinder sooner.
