1200w @ 110v is 12 amps...... that's quite a bit!

1200w @ 240v is only 5 amps.

The transformer wouldn't be that big, if the appliance has a step down (110 volt to xx volts) transformer it would be cheaper just to get the equivalent 240v to xx volt transformer rather than using 2 similar devices to achieve the same result..... It would also be much more efficient.

Maybe see if the local nespresso repair agent can supply you the local transformer as a spare part?
