The De'Longhi Rivelia is the 2022-era bean-to-cup that made 'bean switch' cool: a removable bean container that snaps between two bean types so you can toggle a single machine between two coffees.
It is De'Longhi's modern mid-to-premium super-auto: intuitive touch display, proper espresso, and a latte system that keeps clean-up honest.
