Shoppers who missed out on Aldi espresso machine find perfect alternative

The Aldi Espresso Machine was snapped up by shoppers

At the end of 2024 Aldi launched an affordable Espresso Machine for just £60, which is a bargain compared to other models out there.

For example Breville's barista machine for £364 or this Nespresso one for £158.98, so Aldi's version was one that wouldn't break the bank.

But unfortunately - similar to other Aldi Specialbuys - it was snapped up and is no longer available on the supermarket's website.

If you're lucky you might be able to find one of the £60 Espresso Machines at your local Aldi store, but if not there's other affordable versions for coffee lovers.

This includes the Swan Retro Espresso Coffee Machine from £89.95, which is available in a number of colours from Amazon.

You can get the retro-style coffee maker in grey at £89.95, while the black or green designs are £99 and blue or cream priced at £128.

Some of its features include a 1.2 litre detachable water tank, room to make either one or two cups at a time, 15 bars of pressure and a removable drip tray.

The Swan model is compatible with easy serve espresso pods and ground coffee, using the professional spoon and coffee presser so you can create Barista-style coffee in the comfort of your own home.

There's also a milk frothier and steam pressure control so you can have the milk exactly how you want for your cappuccino, latte or flat white.

In a five-star review, someone wrote: "I can vouch for this machine standing the test of time. I'd had it since lockdown 2020 and it still works like it did on day one. No pressure loss and makes a great cup of coffee."

Another wrote: "I wasn't expecting this machine to be as good as it is. Easy to use, good pressure to give you a perfect crema layer on your espresso and the milk steamer is also quite powerful - ideal for lattes, short continental style and cappuccinos."
