After seeing a lot of the pre-availability marketing hype (including a very expensive glossy junkmail letterbox drop) proclaiming the $79 Aldi Expressi machine would go on sale 26th November I thought I would buy one to see what its like.
I went into a local Aldi store mid afternoon on the day of the release to find that every second person in the store had one in their trolly.
I asked a staff member how many they had sold today and he said "3 pallets full". At the time there were just another 5 boxes there so I guess they would have sold those within the hour.
After I finished roasting tonight I opened it up and asked myself...
"Can you get something drinkable out of a $79 capsule machine?"
Pictures and thoughts follow.
