What the testers found

Tom's Guide rated it 3.5 out of 5, the same as the Rivelia, by the same reviewer. Milk is its strength: "Both milk systems create gorgeous milk texture," hot and cold. Espresso was "a little pale," "Espresso flavor can be weak even on highest flavor intensity," and of the cold brew setting: "I wouldn't recommend using the cold brew setting at all." There's "No low water or low beans warning," and it's deeper than the Rivelia. Tom's Guide notes De'Longhi's standard warranty is two years; no long-term durability testing.
