Independent summary

At the recorded £574.99 direct price, the EXAM440.35.B is compelling for bean variety: two supplied 250g hoppers, a guided Switch mode, eight one-touch black-coffee recipes, four profiles and a 3.5-inch screen. The replaceable DLSC403 hopper is also sold separately, making extra bean storage practical.

Best for

Households frequently switching between regular, decaf or different beans while making mostly black coffee

Watch out for

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.

Same-family decision · manufacturer stated

Which version fits your routine?

Rivelia EXAM440.35.B is the eight-drink manual-frother version; EXAM440.55 adds the automatic LatteCrema Hot carafe and expands the advertised menu to sixteen drinks.

The shared Rivelia name and 24.5 × 43 × 38.5cm footprint do not make the variants interchangeable. Milk workflow, cleaning, drink menu, weight and current price differ; the optional LatteCrema Cool kit is not included as standard with the recorded .55 machine.
