hi,
I recently bought this machine due to the price. I was so impressed with the ski gear that I purchased and have found if you are careful, you can find very high quality items in Aldi.
What I have found thus far:
Yet to find why there is no way to put double the grams of coffee in for two cups.. have rang customer support and am waiting til after new years.
Can anyone tell me about this portafilla with this rubber insert?? Im going to take it to show my local roaster.
Water temp seems a bit low.. about 85 degrees but maybe I am not measuring this reliably. I put the milk temp stick under the running water as close to the shower as possible. Has someone got a better way?
Crema is fine.. bit small.
I love the digital display and it is packed with functions like the more expensive machines.
It has heaps of wow factor with friends and they love the coffee.
I am still experimenting as often the puck isnt quite hard / dry after.
I was told it is steel rather than aluminium. This stopped me from buying their previous red retro model.
Compared to my stove top pot, I am enjoying a lovely coffee without the burning (oops did I forgot I had my coffee on!!).
I have done some research since buying this machine and am very happy. I would have had to spend a lot more to get the same functions. The Choice research shows that price is not much of a factor so it seems to always be a gamble.
Enjoy!
