Couldn't believe it..PERFECT coffee time after time

I saw the machine at Aldi's and thought...!!! $79.00 right, as if. I then visited a friend and was offered a coffee, MMMM I said, what coffee that - then she showed me the machine 'IT'S THE ALDI' $79 machine. WOW. So I rushed out and they were out of stock but soon more to come. As soon as they came to the stores, I GOT ONE. YESSSSS.. DEFINITELY A GREAT MACHINE, I recommend to other people and they are a bit on the "$79 machine couldn't make a good espresso"...they should try it and then say WOW......incredible!!!!
no Pros...Cons..adjustable to how much coffee. Easy to use and just GREAT. Two year warranty. and Made in Switzerland.

Expressi coffee machine (ALDI)

published

Absolute little beauty. makes brilliant coffee, easy to use and easy clean.
Compared to the other machines on the market this one is a GEM, low noise and big water reservoir. Easy capsule feed and used capsule disposal. For the price that beats any other on the market, two year no nonsense Aldi warranty and above all a coffee capsule selection that is magnificent varried and at half the price of MAP or Nespresso.
The Aldi Expressi proved to be a marvelous machine with a great selection of capsules. have used it now for 4 months and love the machine and the great coffe it makes at the best price ever.
Best features are great coffee capsule collection, easu to use, easy to clean and at the best price ever!!

Awesome

published

Bought this unit and I have to say I am very impressed. Easy to use and clean. Takes some trial and error to get the perfect cup but once you get it you'll love it. For me it is a manual extraction of only 30ml (about 6 secs of holding the small cup button). Highly recommend but please clean it thoroughly before first and if you are not completely satisfied with the taste first up keep trying. It will be worth it.
Great price, looks, easy to use and clean

excellent for price

We are happy with our coffee Machine. our daughter who owns a cafe said you would have to pay closer to a thousand dollars to get a quality coffee machine. She is impressed with ours and is blown away by what the aldi machine produces. She loves our coffee. The same machine we saw in the UK (not in an aldi outlet) sold for 75 pounds. ($150 approx) well done Aldi.
cost of machine and pods, a reasonable priced coffee

Descaller can be made easily with Citric Acid and Water, get it to a PH of about 4.

Coffee and Pod Addict

published

I am a coffee addict so I decided to purchase one last year. I can drink up to 8 cups a day, not to mention my wife, who is a pod lover and drinks 5 cups also! The main control panel helps you to customize the settings of this Expressi coffeemaker with ease. This is our hang out and our companion in the kitchen.

Really really good.

published

These machines are fantastic. I bought one and thought that, for the price, I might get an average sort coffee machine. I was wrong, they work so well and the coffee is wonderful. Very good purchase. Well done Aldi and I will be buying the pods for a long time.
Nice coffee.

You don't need a machine to make Chai Latte...its just disolvable powder. Just get a tub of instant powder its the same thing.

Best brew

published

This coffee machine is so simple to use and produces an awesome cup of coffee. We had the previous Aldi coffee machine and every time it needed descaling we had to return it for service. No worries with this one. Love it. The simplicity of this has had us buy for friends as a gift.
Inexpensive, reliable, easy to use.

I am not a big coffee drinker, but my husband is and he and I both love this machine. Nice range of products to go with machine and easy to use!! I also got the Milk Frother to accompany it, and absolutely love it too. Its great for visitors as you can have fancy coffee as opposed to plain instant!!

Finally got my expressi!

published

Finally got my expressi! Love it! Finally good coffee at 6am without having to buy it! What a bargin also got over 30 coffee pods the machine and frother for under $120
30 coffees at a cafe costs more than that so its already paid it self off.
I find the frother slightly burns the milk on the base.
Great coffee, cheap
Frother only makes one glass of milk for latte, slightly burns milk onto base but easily cleans.

If you are looking for a great milk frother to go with your Expressi look no further than Target.They have one for a measly $17.00 and it froths up the milk perfectly every time.We are very happy with the Expressi machine and our great frother.

Easy to make a store bought coffee

published

The machine is fantastic and easy to use. So is the Milk heater.
I also bought the tin with two of each blend to try as I didn't know which blend I would prefer. Also I didn't know that one pod was for one cup. But otherwise found its easy to use.
Too bad all the blends taste [censored word removed]!! Maybe if they bought out a Maccas blend or Gloria jeans it would be much better. Why complicate things with different blends. Have a basic cap, late or espresso or even a hot chocolate for the kids for the everyday user. And the people who have a superior taste pallet can have the other garbage
Inexpensive, easy to use, reliable and easy to clean.
[censored word removed] blends of coffee!!

Clean, efficient and reliable and great tasting

The Aldi Expressi machine is compact, quick and reliable - we bought it as a back up at work as the $1800 model carked it!! So it is still being used and the repaired expensive one is in the cupboard. We have two ranges of pods, a 4 for medium strength and an 8 has a little more depth.
inexpensive, neat and attractive

Loved it untill

published

Bought the coffee machine, loved it until one day it just stopped working, I didn't keep the docket and I have 4 tubs of the coffee pods but no working machine .
The coffee was of great quality and tasted great. I also bought the milk frother which still works and which I am very happy with .
Easy to use, coffee was great.
Stopped working.

My milk frother stopped working. I didn't have the receipt but took it back to Aldi and told them. Because they were only released late last year they knew it was not over 2 years old so they replaced it for me. Good Luck!

It's not a milk frother. It's a foamer and totally inadequate for the purpose of making silky, creamy frothy milk for a cappuccino. I threw mine out.

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!
