De’Longhi Rivelia Automatic Espresso Machine with Grinder and Milk Frother, EXAM44055B

Pros

• Grinder, hopper & dosing system ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.7
  Dual swappable bean hoppers and an automatic switch mode make it easy to move between regular beans, decaf or guest coffees with roughly 5–10 g doses per intensity step, and this review notes little noticeable retention while also reminding users that the hoppers are not airtight so beans are best stored elsewhere.
