Maybe re read the instructions as my machine has a memory and you can change it to memorise how much water you want to run through it. Hope it helps.

Mum kept on bugging, I want a Aldi coffee machine.... so off to Aldi to buy one... bought a milk frother too while i was at it. Surprisingly a lot of though has been put into this machine quick heat time, easy to use, great tasting coffee. Hot chocolate is disappointing though. Milk frother is the best. Use pre mixed satchels in there to produce a well mixed drink. The machine is strong and rugged and lives up to what it should for the price.

Love my new Aldi Expressi

published

I kept hearing great things about the Aldi Expressi, so I finally gave in & purchased one. I love it, it's so easy to clean & makes a yummy coffee & a mean hot chocolate... It takes the pods which also purchased from Aldi & they are only $5.99 for 16 pods. (i alsi get 2 hot chocolates out of the one pod) I'm very impressed at the slim line design & how easy it is to clean...... Very happy !!!!
slim design, doesn't take up much bench space
The milk frother is purchased separetly, but that's ok

Best of the Best!

I have just bought this Expressi from Richmond Aldi 2 days ago, and I have already made 4 coffees and 3 hot chocolates. I don't know how to describe how good of this little machine can do excellent job, it gives me the best coffee ever. From now on, I don't think I will spend any penny for a cup of coffee outside because i would make a better one from this machine at home. Go for number 6 pod from Aldi.

Thanks to Aldi for bringing the best coffee machine at the very good price.

Indestructable! Designed for men.

This machine is an awesome tool for work. We use it daily at smoko and we love how cheap yet high quality the coffee and other drinks are. This machine is also super tough. It was dropped from 1 metre off a trestle, and it continues to work well. It is the Toyota HiLux of the coffee machine world. Definitely 11 out of 10.
tough, affordable

Great machine- and I don't drink coffee

published

My 15yo daughter can't stop laughing at my obessesion with our Expressi- you see I don't drink coffee! I do drink hot chocolate, and hoping the Chai latte will come back. I've been buying all the different coffee pods for my husband and daughter to drink. And happy that I can now make coffee's for them after pretty much refusing to with the old coffee machine with the beans and all. At $89 for a machine and $6 for 16 pods, it is a steal.
Simple to use
Making a 2nd cup, will sometimes have trouble with the pod not going down properly.

The original machine has issues with the pods correctly going down, but the new 2013 edition has no problems that I've seen yet.

Purchased the expressi, absolutely fantastic, coffee tastes brilliant, so much variety and soooo cheap. Go Aldi!!!!! I also bought the milk frother and again the two work so well as a team.. I bought it for my camper trailer to see what all the fuss was about and i tell you what i regret paying $700 for my grinder coffee machine in the house! If your twiddling your thumbs on it... Then dont, trust me, get one!
Great tasting coffee, cheap, sleek, modern..
Sometimes the capules fall through but barely an issue..

Fabulous!

published

I love my Aldi coffee machine. It's fantastic. I use it about three times a day and have had it for a few months now. I highly recommend it. I love the fact that you have a great variety of pods to choose from. My personal favourites are 6 and 8, but I find 10 very bitter and too strong even for me. I love strong coffee, but the 10 is bitter. it's compact, so easily fits on the kitchen bench. I looked at other brands at a much higher price and I can see no reason to pay hundreds of dollars, when this one is such a great price! Buy it!
The price! and the efficiency

Simple and impressive machine!

Everyone who I make a coffee for with it is impressed! Show me another coffee machine that is better overall value than this one and I'll buy it. Its quick to heat! Has great flavor varieties with different strengths and is so quick and easy to clean! I bought the milk frother also and it works great!
Quick to heat, make drinks and quick to clean.

Expressi Machine

After reading review after review for cappuccio machines. I just 'bit the bullet' and went for the Aldi one! All I can say is wish I'd gotten it sooner!
The machine is VERY easy to use and clean and the coffee is great. We have had 1 or 2 pods 'fall' but we just picked them out of the holder. As we are getting used to dropping them in they are falling less.
We also bought the Aldi milk frother.....fantastic. Go for it I say.....
The machine is VERY easy to use and clean and the coffee is great.
A couple of pods 'fall' but as we get used to machine its happening less.

Excellent value coffee pod machine

published

I have been using the Aldi Expressi coffee pod machine for some time now and couldn't be happier. While it sometimes needs two pods to give you the necessary caffeine hit, it is consistent and much less expensive than buying your coffee at a cafe every day. It is simple to operate and at only $89 it beats the competition machines hands down.
Cost, simplicity, ease of cleaning and good coffee

I am using the machine now since they came out Have your tried coffee pod nr 10. I think that one is pretty strong ; )

Pods falling through

published

I love my machine but also had the problem of the pods falling through sometimes. I rang the help line and a pleasant lady said that some pods have swollen in a way that the top is ballooned out a bit. She said to see if punching a small hole in the top with a pin helped. Also said to pull the lever down in one constant firm motion. Since learning this I have had no problems. Good luck.

No good

I purchased the 2013 model yesterday after reading reviews here. Had problems with the pod just dropping straight through to the waste bin, but kept popping it back in. Made 3 cups of coffee yesterday, today the on/off button doesn't work. So back to the shop we go. Very disappointing. Was hoping it was as good as everyone said

You have to remember there are always going to be a few bad apples in every crate.

Our 1st machine stopped working after a few day, it was replaced straight away & the new one hasn't missed a beat in 12 months. I love it

Yep take it back, give it a 2nd chance! Also read other comments about the pods- like pushing the handle
down quickly etc.

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!
