Aldi shoppers go wild for 'beautiful' new iced coffee and can't believe price
As temperatures continue to rise, many of us are swapping our hot drinks for cooler alternatives – and people are rushing to Aldi to get their hands on three new frappe flavours Coffee fans are rushing to their nearest Aldi to get their hands on a range of cool new barista-style drinks that you can have at home. The iced drinks have been hailed as "so good" and "beautiful" by fans. As warm temperatures and sunshine prevail, many of us are switching out our regular hot drinks for iced alternatives. But spending money often on iced coffees, matchas or frappes from cafes can be a costly habit. Instead, Aldi has launched three new drinks you can pick up instore and enjoy at home or on the go. Simply empty the packet into your favourite cup with some water or milk and stir well. The frappes are available in three new flavours: original, white mocha, and pistachio. "Think barista-style bliss without the barista-sized bill," a spokesperson for Aldi said. The drinks launched in stores on May 15 and are priced at £1.69 for a box of 1o – which works out at less than 17p per drink. Speaking about the flavours, Aldi shared: "Each sachet whips up a velvety frappe when mixed with milk or water, hot or cold and served over ice. For a proper coffeehouse hit, shoppers can add a shot of espresso or blend with ice for a frosty treat. "Whether it's a cool iced drink or a creamy Dubai-style latte, these easy-to-use sachets are a purse-friendly way to enjoy barista-style frappes from the comfort of home." Viral money-saving content creator, Ashleigh, tried the pistachio flavour recently and gave the drink the seal of approval. On her TikTok account @ashleighmoneysaver, she said: "Calling all pistachio lovers. Get yourself down to Aldi. They have just launched their new Barissimo frappe sachets, including a pistachio flavour. "£1.69 for a pack of 10, You know these will fly off the shelves!" "They're sooo good," commented one fan. Meanwhile another added: "Omg who needs these pistachio frappes from Aldi? Me." @ also shared a clip after spotting the treats instore, and said: "Aldi is absolutely smashing it with their new snacks and now they've dropped two iced frappes - pistachio and white mocha. These are £1.69 each." "They looks so good," commented another. But one individual shared their honest review and noted: "I'm having the pistachio one, it's OK, not over impressed! Going to try the white chocolate one tomorrow!" @itschelseylife rated the pistachio latte 10/10. She said: "Run don't walk to Aldi. If you love pistachio, you'll love this." "I need," insisted another. In other food news, a reporter tried the new mystery fizzy drinks sold at Aldi, plus people are just realising the inspiration behind the name of Wagon Wheels.
