Rivalellia has a Nifty Little Bean Swap System that lets you have a bean -filled hopper in a second and swaps in a second, which has no mixture of minimal nuisance and beans. This works in this way: When you turn the bean hopper into an unlocked position, the screen of the rivalia will just ask you what you want to do with extra bean, which is about 5 grams, or half shot.
You can choose to get a mini-drink from the addition, or ask Rivaleia to ask your shorter problem, vision ignoring and no question. Then, just swap a color-coded bean hopper for the other, and here you are drinking decaffe instead of your morning rocket fuel.
Bean Swap is a simple and poor solution to an irritable problem that has dogs the bean-to-cover machines since its installation. It is also a sign of the ideology of this device.
Easy, button-press adaptation
It is all good and good to swap Beans, but how is coffee? The answer is not straightforward. Bean-to-cover machines like Rivaleia, and other dlongi models Magnetic Evo ($ 650) And Deenmika ($ 1,300)Just put the same pressure as a traditional aspresso machine. But they grind slightly less than the espresso made with a pressure portfilate.
This thick piece makes the resulting cup completely less fine, and is less likely to be overbitter or deep acidic, but is also less intense. It is a smooth cup, in which some edges are shaved. This is perfect for those who prefer to press just a button and ensure a frosty Cappukino without looking at the pressure gauge or worrying that they will completely bot a shot.

And so the rivalia will not rival the fuclear portfilter machine. But it makes the cups as good as I have tried to any bean-to-cover manufacturer, which is in part due to its assistant “bean adapt” function. The machine can be programmed up to six separate bean profiles. When you want to add a new bean, the machine would have placed you through the pace.
