"We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Let's cut right to the chase - no. If you bought a pack of K-Fee coffee pods from Aldi, they'll only work in Aldi's Expressi podded coffee machine. It's the same reason you can't put a Keurig K-Cup into a Nespresso machine: the pod designs are completely different, so they simply won't fit."
"While K-Fee pods won't work, Aldi does sell Nespresso-compatible options to keep your machine running. Look for Barissimo-branded pods, like these 10-count pack of Espresso Supremo ($4.19 a pack). You can also hunt for pods from L'Or (these 10-count Espresso Colombia Coffee capsules go for $18.99 for a triple pack). And, while it's looking like it'd be out of stock soon, as of the moment of this writing, Aldi is also offering a 36-count pack of Starbucks House Blend coffee pods for $19.49."
K‑Fee pods are only compatible with Aldi's Expressi pod machines and will not fit or brew in Nespresso machines because pod designs differ. Aldi K‑Fee pods have rounded tops and flat bottoms whereas Nespresso pods have opposite shapes. Nespresso Vertuo models also use a barcode reader on the foil lid to identify approved pods and enforce brewing settings, blocking unapproved capsules. Aldi offers Nespresso-compatible alternatives under brands such as Barissimo, L'Or, and sometimes Starbucks; packaging labeled "Nespresso-compatible" indicates likely compatibility. Barissimo 10-count packs cost about $4.19, L'Or 10-count Colombia capsules appear in triple packs around $18.99, and a 36-count Starbucks pack has been offered for $19.49.
