Frequently asked

What is the main difference between the De'Longhi Dinamica Plus and the De'Longhi Rivelia?
Both are top-tier De'Longhi bean-to-cup machines with 19 bar pumps and automatic milk. The Rivelia's argument is swappable bean hoppers — two coffees without purging — and a slightly smaller footprint; the Dinamica Plus counters with a larger water tank and app control.
Is the one with the higher bar rating better?
Both are advertised at 19 bar, and both actually brew at roughly 9 bar — the advertised figure is the pump's maximum, not the pressure at the coffee.
Which is better value?
On published list prices the De'Longhi Rivelia is cheaper at $1,500 against $1,700. Remember that beans, descaler, filters and electricity add a few hundred dollars a year to either.
Do both need descaling?
Yes. Every espresso machine that heats water accumulates scale, and scale rather than use is what ends most machines. Descale every one to three months depending on your water hardness, using the manufacturer's solution.
