These are side-by-side facts taken from each product guide: published specifications, strengths and caveats as their sources state them. This page is not a test, a ranking or a verdict about which model is better.
De'Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo EC9250M with Cold Brew
Hands-on espresso with a built-in grinder, manual milk and a cold brew option
The Arte Evo EC9250M grinds into the portafilter, then you tamp with the dosing guide, brew with three temperature choices and steam milk by hand. A Cold Brew setting brews without pressure.

De'Longhi Rivelia EXAM44055B, Onyx Black
Households that switch between two beans and want one-touch hot milk drinks
The Rivelia EXAM44055B in Onyx Black has two removable bean hoppers, a 3.5-inch touch display, four user profiles and a LatteCrema Hot carafe. Swapping hoppers needs the grinder emptied to avoid mixed beans, and cold foam needs a separately sold accessory. The hopper line in De'Longhi's data table does not match its own 8.8-ounce wording, so check the box.
