    I bought the older,bigger one about three maybe four years ago. Delta is the brand name. Make coffee almost everyday with it and its just grand. I'd say you would spend a lot more to get a better cup of coffee. Aldi have a no quibble guarantee anyway so try it and if you dont like it, bring it back.

    The ad says the amchine works with "Nespresso coffee pods, coffee bags and filter coffee".

    Most self proclaimed free speech absolutists are giant big whiny snowflakes!

    They sell ground coffee at least, not seen bags or pods there. I've not tried their ground, so I don't know the quality.

    You can use ground coffee which you can buy in any shop. You could also grind your own beans if you want even fresher coffee.

    What height cups fit in it? I like my large coffee mug :)

    You don't need to put your mug into it. You can make the espresso in a small cup and pour it into the mug then

    Well it's relevant when using nespresso lungo capsules. When using the nespresso machine in work we just stick the mug under the spout, click the "Lungo" button, add a drop of milk and after 30 seconds we're in caffeine heaven.

    So just curious if the height is tailored more for cappucino style mugs (hard to judge from photo on site).

    No big deal if we have to use smaller temporary cup but slightly less convenient.

    Also are there lungo/espresso buttons, or do you need to hold the button while the nespresso capsule is being processed?

    I see. The drip tray looks removable too. That might give you more room. What size of a mug are we talking here?

    Yes, but if it comes from an Aldi machine is it not Aldi coffee? :pac:

    I presume that the "coffee bags" mean the senseo or ESE pods that you can get in Tesco, or discountCoffee.ie

    Looks like a little bit of work alright (not specific to this model, but might be similar: http://www.beveragefactory.com/resources2/coffee_tea/articles/espressomaker-cleaning.shtml)

    Another advantage of the nespresso capsules I guess...

    The "coffee bags" that I linked to earlier work out cheaper than the nespresso pods.

    Unfortunately I have no idea if they work for the Aldi machine.

    My sister got a similar coffee machine from Lidl 2 years ago and it can take the ESE (44mm) and she can also squash in the Senseo(I think 62mm) coffee pads into the different pod holders. Her machine did not have a fitting for the nespresso pods

    Just a word of warning for anyone who was going to buy one - they haven't arrived in stores yet. I was told they'd be in tomorrow or the next day.
