The coffee tastes equivalent to other brands at first but started to malfunction a few months after I started using it (around twice a day). These machines just don't seem like they're built to last. It's easy enough to clean but keeps flooding so I'm on the lookout for a new machine,

Purchased this from Aldi as my old machine failed after 4 years. This one always seems to put some water (and coffee) into the wast pod container. After 12 months it is getting worse so that now on most days we have to redo the coffee once or twice with new pods to get the coffee into the cup. Very unhappy and now looking for an alternative machine.

Our first gen machine died (spectacularly) last year and we'd been very happy with it. The replacement looks nicer but is nowhere near as good. Rarely do we get a full pod's worth. A lungo will do a short - if we are lucky- then simply fill the waste container. Some pod boxes are worse than others and if we stop then eject- retrieve and reinsert the pod and start it again, we can get a drinkable cup. But this is so sad and not as it should be

We have had one of these coffee machines for many years and will not change, the pods are delicious and reasonably priced. Also the variety available in store is great with most tastes catered for. Easy to use and easy to clean. Would not go to another coffee machine ever

I have returned this machine twice due to the coffee going into the pod catcher instead of my cup. The second machine is doing the same thing. It only happens intermittently but it's so annoying and a waste of coffee. I had the old machine that functioned perfectly for years. I'm ready to give up and buy a more expensive machine.

Machine looks good in my kitchen, Its very easy to use and clean ! Im happy with the. Amount of water the machine holds
I didnt realise when i purchased it ! you can only use Aldi pods ! Opps
Im not into Aldi coffee, hot chocolate yum, still have a couple more to try ! Hopefully they will add more to their range in the future

The coffee tastes great and is really good value for money. There is quite a variety to choose from too.
It is very easy to use and clean.
The water reservoir is a bit small compared to previous models; my friend has one.
The biggest gripe I have is what to do with all those used capsules? It is a pain to remove the used grinds to use for our roses and then what does one do will all that plastic? Can't send to recycle, as the small size of it clogs up the machines at the plant.

Coffee machine is a good price & works well. We found Aldi coffee to be a bit uninspiring. Friends of ours who had the previous model said they use woolies brand pods. These simply do not work in our model, get stuck etc. it does say other branded pods are not recommended. Aldi pods work faultlessly, just make sure u like them.

Where would I be without my trusty coffee machine? I have another machine (a FAR more expensive 'brand' name machine) and far prefer the Expressi. The pods are much more reasonably priced and easy to find at my local supermarket. My morning coffee for the work commute is reliably a joy!!

Being from italian background, i was born with coffee instead of milk.
This Expressi machine for me is fantastic for my short blacks. Admittingly I only enjoy 2 different pods. The No.13 Calabrese is perfect for me and when i'm having too much caffeine I use their hot chocolate pod and this is just an amazing taste. It is the simplest coffee machine i have ever used. And, I have owned many. It is always clean cause i always dispose of the pod immediately after making my short black and push the clean button straight after it with an empty glass under the dispenser disposing of the water that comes out thereafter.

Always enjoy a fresh cup. Brew a perfect cup of coffee, tea, hot cocoa or iced beverages at the touch of a button This fully programmable brewer features an interactive touch that allows customizable brew temperature, auto on/off. it allows back-to-back brews in less than a minute with convenient.. The System hot water tank is perfect for transport or storage.

I needed to buy an entry level expresso machine after a recent separation in my relationship. I had limited money to set up house. This expresso machine has worked perfectly thus far and being compact solves the problem of overtaking the kitchen with excessive size that comes with some microwaves. It's simple to use and I can fault it.

extremely good this is a replacement for my older expressi machine it was also extremely good for quite a few years and a lot of cups of good coffee I am happy with the machine it is not very bulky not out of place on the bench top it is quick and easy and makes a good coffee at a good capsule price I'm happy

Very happy with the range of drink pods available; full flavoured strong coffee, chai, decaf and hot chocolate, are our favourites. Very affordable and convenient bulk buys. We use coffee mate instead of milk and use filtered water to enhance the flavour.
It is simple to use and cleaning is a breeze.
It is relatively quick, water flow is great in comparison to other machines and it is always hot enough.
I've had other more expensive brands but undoubtedly prefer this machine.

I am very happy with the coffee machine as it makes the yummiest coffees. It is easy to use and easy to clean so I recommend anyone who loves coffee to invest in one of these Expressi Machines. Trust me you will be very happy and content withe machine. Yes

I have had 3 Aldi coffee machines.
The first one lasted three years and the rubber hoses deteriorated after not being used for three weeks while I was on holidays. The rinsing water was full of miniscule black rubber pellets. Three years was fair for the $80.
The next two lasted 4 months each. The coffee pods fell straight through on the first one. The replacement machine didn't always puncture the pods to brew the coffee.
I got a refund and bought a Nespresso - infinitely better value.

Our machine bought in October 2016 replaced our earler 2014 machine. The Earlier machine was better but stopped working after 2 years.
This 2016 machine doesn't make the coffee hot enough. After we'd had it about 6 monthes, we also have the same problem as others with some capsules appearing to be blocked so the coffee goes back into the machine and we were wasting a lot of capsules. Eventually coffee must have got into the electrical system because it started turning itself on when we were no where near it, sending water all over the bench until the reservoir was empty. We took it back for a refund.
Pity because we liked the flavour of the capsules.

It looks great and makes decent coffee. However, it's not my cuppa of coffee :) . I don't like the taste. On the positive note, it is very cheap and have wide range of selection of pods. In summary, I think it's not a bad one in terms of value for money
