ALDI’s $78 sensation brews up a storm: Budget coffee machine outshines luxury brands!

In the Land Down Under, where coffee culture is as rich as a robust espresso, Australians are no strangers to the pursuit of the perfect cuppa.

However, as the cost of living rises and the allure of café-hopping dims, many are turning to home-brewed solutions to satisfy their caffeine cravings.

Recently, a popular coffee machine has taken the top prize in a comparison, outperforming some of the biggest names in the market.

This unexpected result has delighted coffee enthusiasts and bargain hunters alike, proving that you don't need to spend a fortune for a quality brew.


ALDI’s EXPRESSI Coffee Capsule Machine, the $78.99 sensation that's stirring up the market has recently taken home the top prize in Canstar Blue’s Most Satisfied Customer Awards for Coffee Pod Machines.

The EXPRESSI’s victory is significant, especially considering it outshone luxury brands like Nespresso and De’Longhi, which are often synonymous with high-quality home coffee experiences.

But what makes this budget-friendly machine the new hero of home baristas?

Megan Doyle, CEO of Canstar Blue, shed some light on the matter, explaining, ‘ALDI EXPRESSI outperformed the competition across a number of different categories, including value for money and ease of use, a key factor in customer satisfaction.’

And it's not just about the unbeatable price; it's the combination of affordability, simplicity, and quality that has Australians buzzing.


The EXPRESSI didn't just scrape by with a win; it was the only machine to score a perfect five stars in overall customer satisfaction, according to Canstar Blue’s data.

‘While there’s no doubt that Australians do enjoy a trip to their local cafe, this year’s survey results showed there’s a steady focus from customers on coffee machines that can provide a consistently good coffee without any hassle at home,’ Ms Doyle pointed out.

This is a testament to the machine's ability to deliver a consistently good coffee without any hassle, reflecting a growing trend among consumers who prefer a high-quality coffee experience in the comfort of their own homes.


The ALDI EXPRESSI’s reputation was further bolstered by the chorus of praise it received from its users.

In ALDI social media groups, where coffee connoisseurs gather, the EXPRESSI is often the topic of glowing testimonials.

‘I’ve had my machine for over five years and it’s still going strong—used every day!’ a long-time fan shared.

‘I’m a bit fussy with coffee, but the machine and pods never disappoint. I love the variety of coffee, chai, and hot chocolate options,’ another reported.

It's quite common to see people raving about it online, with one enthusiastic review simply declaring the machine as ‘B***** awesome!’


Durability is another hallmark of the EXPRESSI, with many users noting that their machines have lasted for years, outperforming even some of the more expensive competitors.

One social media group member regretfully shared, ‘I bought an ALDI machine years ago, and after giving it to my son, I bought a Nespresso machine—but I wish I’d stuck with ALDI. The coffee tastes so much better!’

‘We've been using ALDI machines for 9 years,’ another added.


ALDI's coffee range has been winning accolades, including a recent Gold win at the 2024 Golden Bean Awards for their Lazzio beans.

This latest accolade for the EXPRESSI Coffee Capsule Machine cements its status as a must-have for anyone wanting café-quality coffee without leaving home.

In a competitive market where premium brands often dominate, the ALDI EXPRESSI stands out for its balance of quality, performance, and affordability.

It's a compelling choice for coffee lovers, and for those still contemplating the switch, the satisfied customers' chorus might just be the nudge needed.

Does it do the frothy milk? If I use a coffee machine I expect frothy milk on top. If I want a flat white I can just boil the jug and add milk to the coffee.
