Amazing affordable machine

published

We buy the strongest strength of coffee pods, no. 13, which gives a good robust,flavour. The machine couldn't be easier to use, fill the water chamber,put your pod in place,choose the size cup you want to make & off you go! Simple!
Have bought the Espressi cleaning fluids,& again,couldn't be easier to clean, to keep the Espressi machine in good working order.
Very good coffee,from a very good affordable machine.

Changed my life for the better

My Espressi Machine delivers consistently good results. It is very easy to use. Cleaning is minimal and simple. Does not need too much maintenance. The pods are cost effective, have a large selection of good flavours and are easily available. The machine is well priced to purchase and represents good value.

Bring out machines, then take away the flavours

published

I like the machines, but disappointed that they have taken away most of the chocolate flavors. Loved the Caramel, Choc Orange and light. Have only just re-introduced the white. Love hot chocolate but can't get the flavors I really like :-( ........ ..... .... ...... ....... .... ....... ....... ....... ....... ....... ..... .......... ............. ............. ....... ....... .......

Still kicking!

published

I have one of the older models and it's still going great! Just ensure you do a scale/clean every couple of months to keep it chugging. The pod choice is awesome however I feel there is lots of waste plastic ..especially when we use it so much! Perhaps the pods could be made biodegradable or something clever.

had it for a few years - still producing great coffee

published

I've had this machine for a few years now.
It is consistently producing great coffee and is easy to use.
Just need to press the large cup button 2 times to get a full cup of hot coffee.
I like my coffee very hot and this makes it perfect for me.
I also use Gloria Jeans coffee pods (I need to pop it out with a knife - but it still works fine)

Second time the lever has failed

published

My second machine and the lever has failed again
Designed to last only slightly longer than the warranty period
You get what you pay for
I suggest you should spend the extra money and buy a reputable brand
More expensive than reputable brand in the long run
They are also extremely noisy

Love my baby

published

Brought this in 2013 and it still goes strong. Never had problems with it, I still use it every day. However I never use tap water in it only filtered water and I never store water in the reservoir, and only use the recommended descaler, cleaner and pods from k-fee system and always run the rinse before and after each cup. Maybe that's why it's lasted so long, who knows but I got a good one super happy with it :-)

My favourite pods are the milano, tarino and valletta. Don't like the flavoured lattes as they have added flavours and the chai latte was awful which is such a shame, tasted like playdough.

Keeps pumping out great coffee

published

Since comparing a number of brands including other brand name pod machines, I bought the Aldi expressi and boy it makes great coffee. Prime it first and each pod tastes great. Was to clean and the descaler at least once every six months. I continue to try other pod machines but they just don't perform or taste the same.

Excellent value for money

published

Compared to the huge range of other coffee machines on the market this one is brilliant.

Well constructed, very easy to use and clean, it makes excellent coffee.

And for a fraction of the cost of most of the others out there.

Just started to leak a little water lately but when it does eventually give-up the ghost, there's really no pain in just buying another one.

The crema of the crop in coffee pod machines

published

I have had mine for just over 3 years. Has never ever missed a beat. Gets used every day. Easy to use, great coffee and cleaning is a breeze. I am so tempted to purchase the new 2015 model, but will just wait until I HAVE to replace the one I have.

Awesome little beast

published

I was a bit sceptical in the beginning as some of ALDI products are definitely below the average.
I have replaced my Lavazza A Modo Miu machine with this second hand 2013 aldi expressi machine and can't be more happier so far. A smooth coffee is the only thing I need in the morning. Pods are cheap they are coming out at approx 30c each which makes my everyday coffee to be a fraction of price of what I used to pay for the takeaway ones;

Last 2 years plus one day, when the warranty expires

published

The coffee was perfect. Easy to use and to clean, while it was operational. Then 1 day after warranty expires, the lever keeps popping up, steam coming out plus a burning smellall over the house. The price was too good to be true. I Will think twice before buying anything from Aldi

Wow Good machine nice coffee

published

Used the machine at a mates place resently Purchased a machine & lots of pods to take back to North QLD .
It's so quick & power efficient
Expreso for 37cent

Saves so much money not buying takeaway coffees for the same taste

published

Love it the coffee is makes tastes better than a coffee shop - nice creamy strong flavour - only ever buy the no 12 abruzzo pods as they are the strongest. My sister has a nespresso and recently had one and had to tip it out it was so bitter and no where near the aldi machine at a fraction of the price.

I had to return my first one as it was leaking water - the second one has been fine no water leaks and I also have another one at work which has been fine..

Best applience I own

published

Can't live without this machine! It is super easy to use and to clean. There's a fairly wide range of coffee pods available to suit different tastes. I used to have an espresso machine but this one is so much more convenient, after using it for awhile I got rid of the espresso machine altogether.

Expressi Machine 2013 Edition

We've had ours for about years. Problem is that the lever won't stay down when the pod is in place. The lever wants to spring back so you have to lean quite hard to hold it down while making the coffee. Rang the Support number and was told they had never heard of such a ;problem.

Any solution (I know I'm asking 2 years later)? I got the same issue

NO. But we continue to use (as a second unit elsewhere) and just keep pressing on the lever. The newer unit is still OK.
