HI am suprised at how good the coffee is.
I purchased this machine because I needed something more compact and cleaner in my kitchen to replace the messy, expensive but great machine I had
This machine is a bargain and coffee quaity is great
My favourite pod is the Reggio
Price and Quality

Although I prefer the flavour of the Nespresso coffee, the coffee that comes out of the Expressi machine is pretty darn good too, especially considering how much cheaper both the machine and pods are. The coffee comes out nice and hot and fills the kitchen with a wonderful aroma. I love that there is a hot chocolate pod available for this machine. My girlfriend doesn't think it's "chocolatey" enough, but I think it tastes perfect. The only thing I wish was better is the cleaning. It's not too much of a chore, but I'm lazy and wish there were fewer parts to clean.
Hot coffee, good flavour, very cheap machine and pods
I wish it was slightly faster to clean it.

I bought one of these the other day at Aldi and it's going back. The machine is working OK but the coffee is not hot enough. It only produces lukewarm coffee. Same with the milk frother which I bought the same day. Only lukewarm milk. Aldi have increased the price to $89 but nothing has changed with the machine other than it looks a bit sleeker. I've given it a really good work out and even bought several different kinds of pods. What's left of those are going back as well. Overall - quite disappointed with this machine.
The price
The temperature is too low

Brought one of these and was disappointed, none of the capsules that came with the machine produced an acceptable tasting coffee, returned to store. Please note, I am very fussy with my coffee, it must be just right. I can produce a perfect coffee with my Breville espresso machine and an acceptable coffee with a Nespresso capsule machine at work.
Price, cant beat that.
Very poor tasting coffee

We just love this machine.It was given to us as a gift and after some heistation, we tested it and found it to be as good as the Nespresso machine but so much cheaper. We haven't had any leakage problems discribed. It's so easy to clean. I've recently started to use the MAP pods and found them to be a nicer coffee for our taste, and the kids prefer the MAP hot chocolate as well!! We also have the milk frother, and it's fantastic for hot or cold milk. Although, some may find the milk a little to hot, but we actually preferr it hotter than warm.
great value, easy to restock the pods, a cinch to use and clean

Santa brought me one of the coffee machines & the frother too, for Christmas 2011 & I really must have been a very good girl last year. I use it every morning & evening at least & more often when I have visitors. My friends who spent a fortune buying big name machines are so jealous. My coffee is always awesome & don't have to go milk frothing school to learn how to prepare milk plus I can make my travel mug of latte to take in the car with me.
It's so easy to clean, fits neatly on the bench without taking up huge space. I'm saving heaps of money by not going to Macca's every morning to buy coffee on the way to work.

Such a simple and wonderful machine for its price - and makes good coffee too! It takes next to nothing for it to heat up and the coffee is certainly better than any instant and even comes close to being better than a Nespresso!! The pods are super cheap (less than 30c) a pod. My machine is the older version but I just tried the 2013 editiong which my mum bought and its the same quality coffee (if not better) as they have supposedly fixed the fault with the metal handle.
The cost! and reasonable quality of coffee
After a years use, the metal handle snapped (from the inside, which is connected to a lever with plastic), This just happed over time and from heat I gather. When returned to store - I got a complete new one!! (Yes, after 1 year!)

We've been so happy with our Aldi Expressi machine and now we are very very happy that they have decaf, hot chocolate and chai pods. All are really good - in fact the chai one is better than you get in most cafes. If you haven't purchased a machine you definitely should. I have owned a few machines in the past and this is just so simple and easy to use I would never go back to the more expensive versions.

The frother is also excellent. Very quiet and copes with all different types of milk eg soy
Taste, ease of use, very easy to clean

I bought the Expressi Machine about 3 months ago and have used it every day since. I have not had any problems so far.
The great flavour range of capsules are a nice price and have a nice medium flavour. The machine is very easy to use and at $79.00 a very easy price.
The water well is easily accessed and the 2 year warranty makes it a great deal.
easy to use, inexpensive, lots of flavour choices.

I have had my Expressi coffee machine for about 6 months, and it is still working as well as the first day I got it. It is so easy to use, and makes delicious 'real' coffee every time, it's easy to clean, and is not messy to use, and I like that it only takes a small amount of bench space. We are saving heaps of money no longer buying cafe coffee any more too.
ease of use, inexpensive

Purchased this machine and managed to make two great cups of coffee but more often had problems with pod falling through, lever not staying down, weak coffee, lots of water oozing out. Thought must have been doing something wrong as instructions are mainly pictorial. After three days we took it back to Aldi and exchanged it for a new machine as we were sure it was faulty. New machine has same problems. Love it when it works but can't get it to work consistently. Frustrated! Thinking of getting a refund this time. Suggestions anyone?
Loved the coffee.
It doesn't work most of the time.

I work at aldi and shop at aldi, out of all the coffee machines I've had returned it was generally because people where forcing down the handle and sometimes the pods get stuck or it's full. I havent had an issue with mine I love it, aldi has been talking about getting in tea and hot chocolate pods for all of those non coffee drinkers. Until then officeworks sells hot chocolate map pods that apparently fit in our coffee machines but they are a little bit more expensive. Aldi has a great refund policy and staff are always happy to help if you have any questions just pop into your local store and ask.
Inexpensive And easy
