I’ve been a Nespresso user for years and after my lattissimo broke, this machine was the obvious choice given the great price and incentives. It’s definitely a space saver, and is a rather handsome looking machine. I’d say the downsides are that you cannot buy the pods from any shop as Nespresso still has the patent for these pods, unlike the old style pods. Also the virtuoso don’t come with a built in frother, which I hope they will do in the future. Overall this is a great machine at an even better price !
