I bought my machine (which I now understand is 50/50 if works aka virtuo next).
First one went back on warranty and I recieved a new one a few months later.
I really did enjoy the coffee and made a subscription of about 50-60 cups a month. They wheren't cheap, but it was affordable. Nespresso has now started to increase prices again, and while it may be argued they need more cash to cover their loss with the current price increase, it just makes the product that much closer to unviable.
I've naturally cut down to 20 cups a month and now only buy every third month.
I'm not sure if this cost increase is making them money, but I am having doubts tbh.
