Delonghi Rivelia EXAM440.55

Replacement for much larger Maestosa (which gave over 5 years and over 5000 coffees). Much smaller. Has two been hoppers so I can have caffeinated and decaf. Auto bean grind adjust. Clearish water container and been hoppers allow me to see when things need refilling rather than be informed by machine. Performance, for the range of coffees I make… Read more

is better than the Maestosa it replaced! Quite petite, doesn’t leak water into grounds drawer. Creamer/milk jug very good, easy to clean (cleaning cycle on machine.) Really happy with purchase.

It makes great coffee; froths the milk amazingly well for an all-in-one machine... but it keeps coming up with error messages asking to empty the grounds container, or check the side door is shut even though the grounds container is empty or has only a little bit of disgarded grounds in it. You then have to pull the tray in and out so the machine… Read more

thinks you have done it again because it clears the message and allows you to continue making your coffee. It's as though the sensors don't work well or they are over sensitive or something. A quick search on the internet and you'll see that it's not an uncommon issue. So not sure how I feel about it - I purchased it on Amazon Australia and I have returned mine and willing to buy another one... just wondering what would happen once the 2-year warranty runs out and the machine becomes unusable because the senor won't allow the message to be cleared. The machine is around AUD1300 - it's up there as far as the price for a fully automatic machine goes. It has been doing this since a few weeks after purchase. We purchased this machine in November 2025, and just for the record, my wife and I have one coffee each per day in the morning - aside from that, I could count on two hands the "additional" number of coffees we've made for friends/family and the like. That is as much as it gets used. So it's not as though we thrash it. All in all, we're super happy with the machine, yet super disappointed.

Delonghi Rivelia automatic coffee machine, my worst ever coffee maker by far. If you buy this coffee machine you will live to regret it It's given me torment since day 1. It constantly grinds beans only to dump them in its bin in a damp condition without making any coffee, Beans are to expensive to just waste. It on occasion fills the cup with… Read more

frothed milk with out any coffee, or makes to much milk over flowing everywhere, You never know what it will do day to day. When it decides it needs a de-scale it won't make any coffee until you've done it, there's no prier warning, so if you were for instance in the middle of entertaining everyone just has to wait the 30 minutes it takes to de-scale before you can offer them a drink. The water storage is way to small it always needs topping up. Apart from all that the coffee does taste nice. Would I buy it again am I satisfied ? No, there are so many better machines on the market.

Delonghi has work to do – I have given this wonderful automatic coffee machine 4 stars even though there are significant problems which I argue could be easily fixed. This machine is efficient, easy to operate, clean and maintain. It is a first rate coffee machine. The online video instructions are helpful during set up and useful during the first descaling ritual. … Read more

However, as we live in an era where corporations aim to market products which force customers to return to purchase accessories, means associated problems are inevitable. 4 stars is generous because although the technology is first rate and the ability to change coffee beans is an absolutely wonderful overdue innovation, it does not fully compensate for the problems. Not with the machine itself but with Delonghi customer service and the cost of ordering small essential parts online.

It is disappointing when a retail price is dropped significantly after purchasing an expensive small appliance, as happened to me and worse, the Delonghi website is frustrating to navigate and its customer service section is located offshore.

Delonghi has nailed the milk frothing component however, there is one fault in need of correction. The plastic milk suction tube (pity it cannot be a soft, safe metal) needs to be replaced regularly and ordering it online is not easy or obvious. I have not been able to purchase a narrow enough tube brush cleaner which should come with the machine, as if this component could be cleaned at the same time as the milk carafe compounets, the suction tube might last longer.

In the scheme of things, it is tolerable because the machine is brilliant and I hope this honest appraisal does not put anyone off from purchasing this truly marvelous kitchen wonder.
