This machine does what it says and continues to work but my issue is with the pods. They are terribly unsustainable as they end up in landfill, not to mention the heated plastic taste. At least Nespresso pods can be returned for recycling and aluminium is probably safer. The pods cost less than most but overall you pay for the convenience but in the long run it costs a lot of money. The buttons also are slow to respond. Other coffee machines work better and for slightly higher cost are much more environmentally responsible than this model.

A friend of ours purchased the Nespressi and we weren't convinced about an expensive machine. I should mention, we don't drink coffee so use it for hot chocolate, chai and their other flavours. I believe with Nespressi they only sell coffee. I also use the milk frother on its own - so long as you follow the instructions the cream is smooth. Overall, I recommend this product.

I have a nespresso at home and bought an expressi for work thinking it would be cheaper coffee etc. Now i never look forward to my coffee because quite frankly it is only just a bit better than instant. Nespresso is miles ahead in quality so will ditch this and go get a nespresso machine. Even though the coffee is 75 cents a shot in stead of 25, i have to use twice as much expressi to get even a drinkable coffee.
Don't buy if you like good coffee!!

We got our machine 12 months ago. With household renovations happening, it's being sitting in it's unopened box. Opened it today and bingo!, doesn't work. Rang the service hotline and told them our story. We have the receipt to prove it's just out of warranty. Basically told, bad luck. So we have six (6) unopened boxes of coffee pods and a machine that doesn't work. Not sure what to do now. Not happy though!

Easy to use, makes great coffee. Better than cafe's to be perfectly honest. Very surprised about the quality of the coffee taste and pods. The kids absolutely love all of the flavours of hot chocolate. I absolutely love the Torino pods.

It is great value and easy to use, I love it!! pods aren't too pricey either. The only bad thing is how loud it can be when running but other than that it is perfect.

Bought our machine in Oct after checking out quite a few. Decided it was great value and stopping the $4.50 per day bought decaf, it would be paid for in no time. Took my coffee with me every morning and loved it. Now haven't been able to get decaf since Christmas and I don't drink anything else. So annoying. Pick up your game Aldi! Have checked with the store and talked to customer service and I can't believe no one can say when it will be back. Considering a new machine with more choice of capsules now.

The price is low, and the coffee is acceptable (not good, but acceptable). The real catch is that you are locked in to their brand of coffee, and when they run out (or in the recent case the supplier no longer has the one and only decaf they carry), then you are stuck with a useless machine for weeks or months. I had to go buy a new Kogan system today for just this reason.

I've had my Expressi machine for about 6 months now after my Nespresso machine died after about 4 years. The coffee is good and the selection of coffee is good.
The capsules have a habit of bursting and filling your cup full of very strong coffee. Probably about 1 in 4 capsules burst.
Other that that, pretty good unit for the money.

Nothing beats your barrister, but a great selection of coffee pods. Just wish I could get a better milk frother. This is so good

Cheap, easy to use, great range of pods. Not as good as a good coffee shop but pretty dam good for cost and convenience.

As long as you realize the machine is not to be compared with café made, it does quite a good job.
Convenient, relatively mess free, a little noisy but bearable.
Recommend you descale as directed. If you need a quick milk froth, microwave milk in a jar without the lid of course say thirty seconds replace lid shake bingo. Temperature of the milk is important it holds the heat of the cup, but it can also make it too hot for quite a while, be sensible relating to this . Aldi sells a frother but it can be difficult to clean. By the way most pod machines dribble coffee under the catcher.

If you really love coffee, this unit does not do a good job. Drip coffee is better any day of the week. Not worth the price or the counter space.

have had my expressi for about 2 years now and i use it every day. perfect for coffees for the adults and hot chocolates for the little ones.

Had it for over two years, never a problem cranking out 4 serves a day . Love the range of coffees.
