| Main trade-off | This exact .35 model has a manual steam wand and eight drinks; do not confuse it with .55 automatic-LatteCrema variants offering sixteen recipes. Bean switching is not zero-waste: beans remain below the removed hopper and Switch mode asks you either to make a final coffee or grind them away before the new beans take over. Milk drinks require manual steaming and wand cleaning. The small 1.4L tank, monthly infuser wash, descaling and roughly two-month filter replacement also matter. Independent taste, switching carry-over, milk, noise and reliability tests are pending. | Do not mistake this .55 automatic-milk model for the cheaper .35 manual-frother Rivelia: the interface, milk hardware and drink count differ. At 24.5cm it is fairly narrow, but the 43cm depth and access to its 1.4L tank still need checking. Bean switching is guided rather than instant because beans below the removable hopper must be brewed or ground away. Run the carafe CLEAN rinse after milk use, dismantle it regularly, hand-rinse the removable infuser monthly and budget for optional water filters and descaler. The optional LatteCrema Cool kit is a separate purchase. Independent taste, temperature, noise, energy and reliability tests are pending, so no CoffeeScore is published. |

Change the assumptions to match your household. Pod machines use the same editable capsule figure for a like-for-like scenario; the table above shows when an exact checked system example exists. Other machines use bean cost and dose. A connected grinder is included where the machine needs one.
