The Rivelia immediately ranks among the most modern, impressive, and capable super-automatic espresso machines I've seen-the sort that has you dump a half-bag of beans into a hopper, and will grind, brew, then froth up milk for a flat white with the press of a button.
Meticulous has designed its espresso machine from the ground up to leverage newer technology. The machine utilizes 10 digital sensors to monitor elements such as water temperature, pressure, flow rate, and the weight of the liquid in the cup, allowing for real-time adjustments during the brewing process. This sets it apart from traditional espresso machines that have maintained the same underlying mechanisms for decades. With these advancements, even home coffee enthusiasts can achieve barista-level control.
Users can adjust the coffee grind size, water temperature and amount, and froth both dairy and nondairy milks to specific textures, all with the help of a computerized system that takes care of most of the precision work.
