Brentwood Appliances 10-Ounce Electric Moka Pot Espresso Machine

Aldi have recently released a new, super cheap coffee machine type thing, and it comes with a stainless steel-ish travel cup for only £16.99. This mini home batch brewer has a water reservoir at the back, a reusable brew basket, shower head, and a display with an on/off button and a programmable feature. After brewing a cup of coffee, the results were okay, but not great. The temperature climbed through the brew, but it didn't hit super high temperatures super early. To compare the results, the brewer was pitted against a £5, one cup Hario brewer, and the results were similar. Overall, the Aldi brewer performed as expected, and it certainly did not perform worse than something three or four times its price.
When it comes to budget coffee makers, the Aldi brewer is a decent option. It has a few features that more expensive brewers don't have, like the programmable feature, and it performs as expected. However, for the same amount of money, you could get a cheaper setup that will give you better results.
In conclusion, Aldi's super cheap coffee machine is a decent option for those on a budget. It has a few features that more expensive brewers don't have, and it performs as expected.
