Aldi Keurig Alternative Single Serve Coffee Maker
The Ambiano Single-Serve Coffee Maker is going to be available as an Aldi FInd on October 26th, 2022 (previously available March 2022). This looks to be the same (or similar) model to what they have offered over the past few years (since 2018 I think).
In the past it has been compatible with k-cups or ground coffee using an included basket. It is compatible with standard coffee cups/pods and I’d assume it works with Barissimo Coffee Cups that are also sold by Aldi.
I don’t personally use any pod type system for my coffee addiction so I’m not sure if there is a difference between the pod brands.
Edit 5/12/2022: If you missed out on this coffee maker there is another stylish Ambiano Retro Coffee Maker coming out 5/18/2022 as an Aldi Find.

Is the Ambiano Single-Serve Coffee Maker a Good Deal?
Aldi’s pod coffee maker is going to be selling for $29.99 as an Aldi Find. It looks like it is a very compact coffee maker similar to the Keurig K-Express which sells for around $80.
I wouldn’t compare the Ambiano directly to the name brand Keurig though, I generally like to compare Aldi’s appliances to the “off-brands”. From looking on Amazon it looks like there are a few options out there with a similar price.
First is the Black and Decker CM618 for a similar option that also has a filter for grounds and is compatible with coffee pods. It brews up to 16oz at a time and also includes a coffee mug.
The Black and Decker is well reviewed and is from a brand that is sold in major retailers. I would say the Aldi version is more stylish and looks like it may have a bigger water reservoir.
The second coffee maker that looks comparable to the Ambiano is the Hamilton Beach 49974 FlexBrew. Again this has the option to use pods or grounds and will brew up to 14 oz at a time.
The Ambiano seems like a really good option for the price since it has the 40 oz reservoir, can adjust for different cups sizes, and includes a reusable filter for grounds.
I would buy this if needed a single serve/cup type coffee maker but I’m all set with multiple ways to make coffee. Have you tried Aldi’s coffee maker? If you have let us know how you like it below!
Ambiano Single-Serve Coffee Maker Reviews
Please include the year you purchased your coffee maker as models may change year to year.
For The Money
The usual story for anything you buy is, “You get what you paid for…” I bought this coffee maker at Aldi for $19.99 about 4 years ago and it’s still going strong! I only use distilled or bottled water in it so it doesn’t get calcium build up and it hasn’t at all over the years. It is a bit louder than my Keurig at home but for the office, I have no complaints. I actually bought a second one thinking that at that price, it might not last long. I was very wrong. I do take the brew basket out and clean it maybe every 8 months or so or when I switch over to drinking tea. Again, for the money, an Awesome buy. The second one is still in the original box unopened and we usually take it with us on trips in case where we stay doesn’t have a Kuerig type coffee maker.
Does not work!
I put the coffee machine in my vacation rental and tried it out before guests arrived. It doesn’t puncture the Kpod so it only dripped out warm water. It’s junk and throwing it out unfortunately….what a waste of money!
Love but need cup holder
Love it bought for small office of girls at work. Have had 2 months no issues. Except someone threw out the basket that has the peice in to peirce the coffee pod. Anyone know where to buy
I love it but…
I love the ambiance but accidentally threw away the pod insert – am unable to find replacement ! HELP!.
Obnoxiously loud
I wake up wayyyy earlier than my family and often the family coffee pot and commotion through the house wakes up the kids. So, I was gifted this with the intent to use it in my office to reduce traffic through the house…but WOW it sounds like a jet engine. Yes, it makes single serve coffee. I’ve done grounds and pods…but the noise is a significant drawback
