The aroma of the coffee is only bettered by the taste. It sure tastes as good as it smells.
Together with the milk frother we are absolutely impressed. In less than a month it had paid for itself.
No more second rate coffees, or waiting on inefficient service.
The fact that it costs so much less than other models makes me want to sing.
The instructions could be improved upon.

The pods are great with a huge variety of strengths and styles. It is a stylish modern well designed compact machine which fits well in our motorhome and on kitchen bench. Very happy with the no brainer functions. Coffee comes out hot as well, not luke warm like some machines. Great value for money. Love Aldi

I'd give Aldi 9/10 for the taste of their 'pods' but the machine is not made to last. We only use it 3 days out of 7 but the older model only lasted 10 months. The 'new' version has done better lasting 12 months but it's into the bin now. It only half fills a cup before sending the rest into the empty capsule container. Pods also get jammed and can't be extracted. We're done with the Expressi !! So much for the 2 year Guarantee, it's worthless.

Coffee is excellent, apart from some faulty pods it is easy to use. The serious problem is Aldi sold machine cleaners and descalers as a once off special, but now they are no longer available. Friends machine blocked up and he had to buy a new machine, so be warned if you buy one. Seems they have no intention to restock cleaning products. Shame on you Aldi

Makes great coffee, when it works properly. Often a small amount of coffee goes into the cup, and the rest of the water goes into the waste pod chamber. Often pods get stuck, and occasionally they fall straight through when trying to load them. This model is vastly inferior to the older style !

I returned my machine as it stopped working. When I contacted the company they convinced me to try machine with new box of pods. Turns out there were some faulty coffee pods. I didn't believe it at first. I put all of the ones that didn't work into a box and returned them. All of my faulty pods are gone and I have not had a hiccup since. They seemed to have too much air in them. I was willing to try because this machine is the simplest and the best. I wonder how many machines have gone back unnecessarily.

Simple and quick....coffee is excellent. I've had none of the problems outlined by others but have one of my own. Machine attracts tiny flying insects despite daily cleaning and applying paper coaster for tray...any suggestions out there? Have bought units for daughter and granddaughter and there are no complaints there either.

I am having problems with the newer coffee pods. The coffee only flows into the cup for a short time, then it goes into the used pod chamber. I was about to take my machine back, but read how others were having the same problem. So, obviously it is not my machine. Aldi needs to get onto this quickly.

Im over the aldi machines, coffee might be cheap but so is the workmanship of this machine. coffee just ends up flowing into the waste container now. arggghh. had the older version which lasted much longer and also had a larger water container. definitely going to look elsewhere for a better quality machine

I have always been very happy with the taste of Aldi coffees and constantly rave about the value... however their new machine appears to have a design flaw. Most of the time the coffee comes out ok, but occasionally it stops altogether. I believe the coffee exits the pod via a channel from the centre puncture hole found on the used pod. This channel appears to get blocked by the pod when the hot water softens the plastic, which would explain the flow starting then coming to a stop after a few seconds. It doesn't happen with all pods but the machine is going back regardless. Lucky I still have the old one...

Exactly as the others have described . Not hot enough and the machine struggles to push a coffee out with most of the water coming out of the capsule ejection port.
I think this is a design fault. Called the 1800 number regarding returning machine and was told the only way to return is by mail to them - WRONG. called fair trading was told that i can return machine to Aldi as i purchased from them and therefore my contract is with Aldi.
Be aware of your rights people and dont be misled by store policy. Australian consumer law rules in Australia.
If its a major fault you can opt for a refund or replacement.
I cant beleive they are misleading people like this.

Can't fault it, nice selection of coffee options. hot choc is junk but the coffee is good.

The occasional limited addition pods make a nice change.

Hopefully they will release organic pods soon, then i can replace my old style machine in which i freshly grind organic coffee for.

Apparently coffee is heavily pesticide (not sure if true but the organic coffee is ultra smooth and never as bitter IMO).

I really enjoy the Aldi organic dark chocolate.
