Philips 4300 Lattego vs DeLonghi Rivelia

Q: Is the 4300 Lattego better than the Rivelia?

It depends on your priorities. The Philips 4300 Lattego excels for users who want user profiles to save your specific recipes, while the DeLonghi Rivelia is the better choice if you prioritize interchangeable hoppers to switch beans daily.

Q: How do the grinders compare?

The 4300 Lattego uses a Ceramic Flat, 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 4300 Lattego 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 4300 Lattego if you:

Want user profiles to save your specific recipes.
Want the easiest-to-clean milk system (LatteGo) on the market.
Want a few more drink options than the 3200 series.

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 4300 Lattego for the insanely easy-to-clean LatteGo system. Pick the Rivelia if you prioritize interchangeable hoppers to switch beans daily."

Critical Maintenance Warning

Don't Ruin Your New Investment

Regardless of which machine you choose, both rely on internal grinders that are sensitive to oily beans. To keep your Philips or DeLonghi out of the repair shop, stick to these non-oily selections.

The wake-up call. Because it has Robusta beans mixed in, it has way more caffeine than the others. Great for milk drinks, but can be a bit harsh for straight espresso.
