Good value standby machine!

have had to have it replaced twice

published

I returned my Expressi Capsule Machine today for the second time still under warranty and because the price of the machine had gone up by $10 I had to pay the extra $10 to have it replaced even though it was still under warranty, next time I will get may money back. I did ring Aldi and someone was to ring me back but as yet no phone call

the capsules kept falling out of the machine and the lever didn't stay down unless it was held.

I still cannot believe they did this to a customer, how many others did they do it to as the machine is obviously faulty from the start, they should have taken them off the shelves when they knew they were unreliable.

Great for the price

published

The Expressi machine is a bit clunky and we had to get a new one under warranty as it started to leak water from underneath. But Aldi sent us a new machine quickly and with a minimum of fuss. The coffee is very nice and just as good or better than the Nespresso and pods are half the price of other brands. Chia latte is equal to a fresh made cafe blend. I recommend it for anyone on a budget / and for those who like a quick and easy quality tasting coffee.
Easy to use, easy to clean, machine doesn't take up too much room, coffee tastes great and is not expensive.
Machine needs to be cleaned with a de-scaler on a regular basis to keep it in working order. We had to send one back but the new machine seems fine.

Fabulous coffee machine

published

It has all the functions you need, great tasting coffee and hot chocolate and so easy to use. Great price and cheap pods. Love it and can't recommend it highly enough. Tried another brand in same price range and it leaked and i had to return it so i havent found anything that compares to it. Great Christmas present too. What are you waiting for?

Meh..

I first brought this machine 6 months ago, in the beginning it was great, then it began to get louder & louder. Also the "handle" to put the capsule in, pops up! Saying that water shoots out from the top, also spraying coffee! Not a nice thing when you want your coffee first thing in the morning!

Great coffee

published

Love this machine - have had it a year and use it every day. I love how quick and easy it is. I bought the matching coffee frother, but I often just microwave a small amount of milk then fill up with the coffee. But for a real treat use the frother, it is sooo good !!
Cheap, quick and easy to use

Superb value for Home Coffee Brewing

published

Our home-brewed coffee is mostly required on weekends, or when we have dinner guests, rather than every day, and this machine is perfect for us because it takes up so little space if we leave it set up, or it packs away and back out easily and is light to move. The milk warmer is cheap and easy to use and clean, as well.
Reliable, cheap to buy, easy clean and to get coffee pods which are cheap and have a good variety. Milk warmer is easy to clean and to get the desired amount of froth.

Enjoy the chai late

published

I enjoy the Aldi coffee machine, It's cheap and the coffee is enjoyable and easily accessible. The chai late is very enjoyable however sells out quickly. for the price this is definitely worth it. Would recommend this to my friends and family who enjoy a nice cup of coffee in the comfort of there own home.
Cheap, easy to use,

At $89.00 how could you go wrong

published

Never had a coffee machine before... All just too pricey, so when these machines came up took a chance and bought one.
We'll, I can't fault it. Quick and easy to make coffee and very cheap. Friends of ours, have all the more expensive, well known brands and this machine can compete with any of them. The coffee taste just as good but it's a lot cheaper. We didn't bother about the milk frother, just micro wave your milk instead and save the money. Most frothers, including all the other brands, don't heat the milk up enough.
Cost, easy to use and clean. Coffee pods are cheap and you get 16 in a pack instead of the usual ten that other brands give you.

You can purge hot water from the machine instead of boiling the jug if you like.

Good and Cheap

published

Paid itself off in no time. Excellent for its price. Selection of coffee is good. Quick and efficient. No need to go outside to get a good caffeine hit. Comparable to machines 3 or 4 times more expensive. Works well and I haven't had much probs with it, been through about 20 packs of pods.
quick
sometimes pod drops through without getting clamped

The Best Coffee Machine I Have Owned

published

As the title above says, this is indeed the best machine and most value for money coffee maker i have ever owned. The coffee is awesome and the cheapest around working out to be on average around 39c per cup, and with the additional milk frother, well, you will never go out for coffee again.
Awesome coffee flavour, easy to use, and cheap as at $89

One stop coffee shop

published

I can honestly say that you could not fault this little machine. My employer just bought the new 2013 model and I would recommend the Aldi Expressto anyone. Simple to use, fast to heat up, no mess and best of all low pirce, pods included. This machine gets a daily workout here where I work and it keeps up like a champion.
Inexpensive, fast, easy to use

If you hold the button down when filling a cup you can program how much water is dispensed from then on.

Hi there i have only had a few pods fall through but only if i haven't lifted the handle the whole way up. If i lift the handle up properly and put the pod inside it never falls through. thanks

Expressi Machine 2011 Edition

Why does my coffee machine force open the handle when I start making coffee?
It seems to me that the pins do not pierce the capsules.
I do use the right coffee capsules.

Believe it or not since I wrote the reveiw the same has happened to me. I also get a bit of pressure built up which was a bit scary. I've since gone and purchased a new one. If the new one works for a year or two with out a hitch, I'm still ahead.

I rang the 1800 number and spoke with Kfee who make the Aldi Expressi Machine. The pods are new but look the same. According to Kfee, the coffee will be superior. However the new pods are much harder to penetrate and the old machine no longer functions as it did previously, the pressure keeps building and sometimes it just doesn't work. I have stopped using my old machine as the pressure felt as though it was about to explode. Basically you need a new machine and with the Aldi (Kfee) pods being cheaper than (all?) the others, it's still value providing the new machine is not made obsolescent as these old ones have been. Aldi could have told us this, but I have not seen any evidence that they have.

Thank you Ahmetmaz And Basilian for your answers.
I had a feeling that I would need a new machine. I had noticed that the pods had changed.

Expressi Machine 2011 Edition

I have the machine which is smooth down the sides (the older machine), I've descaled and also done the other one they suggest, but the amount of water which pushes through the coffee button (both small and big) is less than 30ml. Sometimes the machine online spits out 5ml, how can I fix this? For me to make a coffee, I have to press the coffee button about 5 times.

Hi, yeah thats normal, to make a full coffee you will need to press the button about 5 times to fill the cup, the idea behind this is that to make a proper cappuccino you would normally just press the button once or twice then full the rest of the cup with frothed milk. As i don't make it that way i just need to keep pressing the button until the cups full.

teeens14
teeens14

No, I mean I just to press it 4 or 5 times to get a decent amount of coffee. The booklet says you can should get 40ml from one push... not mine!
