This outstanding machine takes control of everything from the grinding to the tamping to the milk frothing, making it extra easy to get your hands on a delicious morning coffee. Our experts raved about its clear instructions, quick 30-second heat-up time and generally easy-to-use design, which produced consistent espressos every time. As with all bean-to-cup coffee machines, some features take a bit of getting used to – in this instance, it’s adjusting the volume of drinks and finishing the milk steaming process. But these are only temporary niggles – we’d welcome this high scorer into our kitchens in a flash. We’ve also tested three other Sage models. The Sage The Oracle Touch (90/100) is great if you want a fully automatic coffee machine, while the Sage The Barista Pro (92/100) offers a more manual approach to making your morning cup. For a balance of both, the Sage The Oracle Jet (94/100) features a premium, hybrid system that can work automatically while still giving you the option to make tweaks to achieve your ideal flavour.",

Testers praised its clear instructions, fast heat-up time, and consistent results. While some features like drink volume adjustment and milk steaming require a learning curve, these are considered minor issues. The espresso pump's rattling is a slight drawback.",

      "review": "With a 3.5” full-touch colour display, 16 automatic drink settings, and a personalised coffee menu for different times of the day, this machine acts like your own private barista, offering a coffee experience that’s completely tailored to you. Seriously cool. Quick to pre-heat, it proved consistent and efficient at making espressos (it didn't drop a single mark in our lab tests). For milky coffees, our testers found the frother easy to adjust, and it only failed to reach the target temperature within the claimed time on one recipe. It made a great cappuccino, taking just two minutes to produce good foam at the optimum temperature. There are only seven grind sizes, which isn’t the biggest range; however, you should still be able to find the right setting for your tastes. Plus, if you’re a fan of cold brews, you can add on the LatteCrema Cool upgrade set when shopping online. Containing a carafe, four glasses, and a recipe book, our testers loved this refreshing add-on – certainly worth the extra cost in our opinion.",
      "review_summary": "The De'Longhi Rivelia is praised for its innovative features, including a full-touch colour display, numerous automatic drink settings, and a personalised menu. It's quick to pre-heat and efficient at making espressos. While the milk frother had some minor issues with micro foam, it still produced a great cappuccino. The range of grind sizes is somewhat limited, but overall it offers a tailored coffee experience.",
