You could wear a few of these out for a Nespresso machine. The only catch I can see is that you wouldn't be able to put larger cups up to catch the coffee. I noticed because a Friend has this trouble with her Nespresso. Mine is fine thank goodness.

Good point cookie....I use taller glass cups for our lattes......maybe take your cup into Aldi to check the size  :P

 :) :) :) Yes I got mine today also....a silver one with the frother  :) :) :) I am very happy with it...they had a demonstrator at our local Aldi store and I tasted 3 different types of the coffee...which were all very nice. I came home with 2 packets of the pods... :) :) and you can take the cup stand away which allows you to use a taller size mug or cup... :) :) :) So I am one happy coffee machine owner... :) :)

Oh that's good to know.  Sounds like a good buy then!
From what I read from that catalogue, it sounds is if it's going to be a permanent product at Aldi.
Would make a good Christmas present for someone who doesn't have a machine.

I think the pods will be a permanent product and the machine will be a special buy yet will appear regularly, but that really only based on summation.  ;)

I think I might just have to go to Aldi today, I totally forgot about it yesterday.  8)

Would have loved to do the tasting before I chose the pods.

Foodieprep... I got 2 packets of Tauro which rates as a 5 on the strength scale...and we are happy with the taste although I am going to buy a few packets of 6 and perhaps 7 strength just to have on hand.  :) I made DH a cup this morning for our breakfast and he said that they were as good as the ones from our local cafe... which are $4 each... so we are very happy with our purchase. I am going back tomorrow to hopefully purchase one for my Mum and Dad for their Xmas present. They live in SA and they don't have Aldi over there.... so I will buy some packets of pods for them and send over a regular supply for them... ;D ;D Not sure why there is no Aldi in SA... silly really... :-)) :-))

Aldi will get there Mary.  They are slowly making their way up the Qld coast.

I went into Aldi today and bought the milk frother, They only had a couple left and they were in an odd spot near the checkout.

How does that milk frother work?  And how much milk does it hold? 

I've had a Froth Au Lait frother for several years and it works fine but the maximum capacity is 1 1/2 cups of milk and when I have company, I need more volume.   I'm looking for an inexpensive secondary frother for when I have company. 

I bought a Cocoa Grande hot cocoa maker to heat milk for caffe lattes  and it works perfectly to keep the milk at the correct temp but it seems that everyone always wants more foam. 

I've tried a couple of other frothers and have been less than impressed with them, returned them, in fact. 
The Bella "professional" frother simply did not produce the fine foam one wants. 
The Breville has less capacity than the one I have as does the Keurig.

Froth Au Lait does make a professional model ($399.95) but I don't need that great a volume most of the time and can't see buying something just to use at parties.

It only holds 125mls for frothing and up to 250 mls for heating only which gave me more than enough froth

I will use Froth only function when i need to make more coffees and heat the milk elsewhere

 

great for babyccinos
