Vienna: Nespresso Store
Ah, the Nespresso Fantasy coming true.
Was shopping around Vienna, and we came across the Nespresso store. You know for a place that sells a couple of cups, expresso machines, and little capsules of coffee - this place was huge. It was almost to Super Wal-Mart of the Nespresso family seen.
This particular machine though is kind of off limits. It's actually part of their new commercial line of espresso machines - let's you do some cool new stuff like mochas, hot chocolate, etc. The only major issue I see is that it's a $4000 machine - for that price, you can fly over an Italian barista to set you up on a proper Italian model.
Don't get me wrong, not dissing Nespresso at all - but Nespresso is all about decent coffee for convenience. If I have to pay two month's salary for the thing, I can start standing a little inconvenience.
