DeLonghi Dinamica Plus vs DeLonghi Rivelia

Q: Is the Dinamica Plus better than the Rivelia?

It depends on your priorities. The DeLonghi Dinamica Plus excels for users who want the superior micro-foam texture of the LatteCrema system, while the DeLonghi Rivelia is the better choice if you prioritize interchangeable hoppers to switch beans daily.

Q: How do the grinders compare?

The Dinamica Plus uses a Steel Conical, whereas the Rivelia features a Steel Conical. While both are high-quality internal systems, they are sealed components. To prevent clogging and avoid expensive repairs, we strongly recommend using non-oily, medium-roast beans in both machines.

Q: Which machine is easier to clean?

The Dinamica Plus uses a Removable brew group, while the Rivelia uses a Removable system. Generally, removable groups (like DeLonghi) allow for manual rinsing under a tap, while fixed groups (like Jura) rely on automated tablet cleaning cycles.

Buy the Dinamica Plus if you:

Need app connectivity to customize recipes from the couch.
Want a machine that is widely supported by service centers.
Appreciate the durability of a steel conical grinder.

Buy the Rivelia if you:

Want to switch beans daily with interchangeable hoppers.
Love the Bean Adapt Technology for optimized extraction.
Want a compact machine with a modern, colorful design.

Expert Verdict

"Choose the Dinamica Plus if you value LatteCrema System. Pick the Rivelia if Switchable Hoppers is more important to you."
