I tried De’Longhi’s smartest espresso machine yet — and ditched my café

It's way smarter than I expected it to be

Delonghi Rivelia

When I first heard about the launch of De'Longhi's Rivelia espresso maker, I was uncertain what to expect. Coming from De'Longhi, the beloved home appliance brand and industry leader, I knew this espresso would be nothing short of exceptional (turns out I had no idea what I was in for). It's safe to say the expectations were high for De'Longhi's advanced technology. However, I wasn't quite prepared to become obsessed with this first-of-its-kind machine.

De'Longhi's Rivelia truly lives up to the attribute of "smart", exceeding expectations of what a home espresso machine can do. Here's what it's like to use the Rivelia at home, and a look at how its innovative technology adapts to your coffee preferences.

Whip up this delicious punch for easy Derby Day entertaining

Natterjack Irish Whiskey

If you're hosting friends for the Kentucky Derby tomorrow, then odds are you've already got your mint juleps planned out and ready to go. But if you haven't, no problem! We've got a punch recipe which you can quickly whip up before your guests arrive, then easily serve to please a crowd.

Whilst the iconic spirit for the day is bourbon, this recipe takes a different approach, swapping in Irish whiskey instead. If you haven't tried Irish whiskies before, these tend to be lighter and fruitier than their Scotch counterparts, making them ideal subs for bourbon. Throw in some vanilla liqueur with cherry and tangerine juice, plus a spicy and sparkling hit of ginger beer, and you've got a punch that's fit for the occasion -- now all you need to do is find an appropriately fancy outfit to wear.

These HexClad pans are the perfect Mother’s Day gift — here’s why

A gift for the cooking mom

HexClad Pan Set

It's no secret that many home cooks are shifting away from using non-stick pans and swapping for healthier alternatives like HexClad pans. I've been using "better-for-you" pans for several years now (and won't ever go back to my old pans). Though I firmly believe everyone should switch, tossing pans that still function well can be tough for some. Moms can be stubborn, especially those with an "if it's not broken, don't fix it" mindset.

I'll admit, breaking up with non-stick pans is a process. First, it comes with some denial, as those pants have probably served you well for years. Yet, if you're a home cook using your frying pans nearly daily, it's 100% worth the switch. Here's why the Hexclad 6-piece frying pan set is the perfect Mother's Day gift for the cooking mom (and the one who refuses to throw away their old frying pans).
