Philips L'OR Barista Sublime Capsule Coffee Machine, Double Shot, 1 or 2 Cups, Full Coffee Menu, Black (LM9012/60)

My only comparison is with the Nespresso Inissia -- the basic Nespresso machine -- so bear that in mind. At £49 against a recommended retail price of £109.99 this is an absolute steal. (Yes, I KNOW all about online discounting, but I still thought it worth mentioning.) Previously I had two Nespresso Inissia machines, and they lasted an average of just three years each. I think I was unlucky, but even so... I've had my L'OR machine only a couple of days, and already I love it. Excellent coffee, good design, simple to use. Just a couple of points by way of clarification rather than criticism: 1. There are two nozzles. Put your mug in the middle, because the coffee comes from both. They're useful if you have a guest: put one mug under each nozzle. 2. If, like me, you're the geekish sort who measures the amount of water needed, you may find that the pouring terminates in the flashing of whichever button you've pressed. This is said to indicate that you're out of water, but it also happens when there's only a little left in the reservoir, so put in some extra. I don't know how long this machine will be selling at £49, so I'd grab one fast.

I love it! Got it in the prime day deal for 49.99! Chuffed! Mine arrived in perfect condition and they also include a box of 9 different capsules to try. Easy to set up. Coffee takes about 30 seconds to make (an espresso). Also tried the lungo with the big pods and these make basically a normal size cup of coffee which is good. The coffee pods taste really rich and flavorsome so much so that I bought a load more different L'Or ones on their website. The machine also comes with a £20 off £50 for the L'Or website once you register your machine on their website plus they have other discounts. Worked out really well, ended up ordering 120 pods for about 28 quid of different flavours making it about 23p a pod. Seen a few reviews about it breaking less than a year after but obviously I cannot comment on that as of yet as mine works perfectly at the moment. So excited! 😊 P.s it takes other brand pods and Nespresso pods too (the normal ones). Already tried with some decaf lavazza ones and they worked fine too.

Bought this after our old Nespresso original machine developed a leak. Extremely pleased with it, the build quality is excellent, it looks sleek and the water tank is solid, removable and/or easy to refill in place. There are three buttons on the top for small/medium/large dispense. You can press these buttons more than once with the same pod to top up your mug if you like. Heats up & dispenses quickly. The internal container for used pods is fairly large too, fits about 8 pods before it needs emptying. Easy to remove & wash too. And don't worry about the fact that there's two nozzles, you just bung a mug under it and it just dispenses from them both. Perfect for the morning start, absolutely love it. This machine takes Nespresso original pods - which are now available at decent quality & prices from Aldi/Lidl etc. Honestly don't see why they made different pod types, like Vertuo etc., the originals are best. The only thing I'd mention is that the handle you lift on the top to put pods into needs some free space above the unit, so it might not open fully if placed under a kitchen cabinet. Extra tip - most original pods are aluminium and can be recycled easily if you buy one of the various recycling tools - just search amazon for 'nespresso pod recycler' or similar - you can just squash the pod to separate the case from the coffee grinds and compost the latter, recycle the former.

As a middle-aged coffee enthusiast who enjoys the convenience of at-home brewing, the PHILIPS L'OR Barista Sublime Capsule Coffee Machine has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. Its sleek black design fits well with my modern décor, and its functionality ensures I get my caffeine fix just the way I like it. One of the features that stands out is its capability to brew double shots and make either one or two cups of coffee at a time. This is perfect for those busy mornings when I need a quick, strong cup of coffee or when I have guests over and want to serve multiple cups efficiently. The flexibility to choose between a single or double shot allows me to customize my coffee strength, which is a big plus. The machine’s full coffee menu offers a variety of options, from espresso to lungo, making it versatile enough to cater to different tastes and preferences. The L'OR Barista Sublime uses L'OR and Nespresso-compatible capsules, providing a wide range of flavors and blends to explore. This compatibility is a huge advantage as it doesn't lock me into a single brand of capsules. The brewing process is straightforward and quick. The machine heats up rapidly, and the intuitive controls make it easy to select my preferred coffee style. The quality of the coffee it produces is excellent, with rich, full-bodied flavor and a smooth crema on top, rivaling the coffee I get from my favorite café. Cleaning and maintenance are hassle-free. The drip tray and capsule container are easy to remove and clean, and the machine has a descaling alert to ensure it stays in top condition. This ease of maintenance means I spend more time enjoying my coffee and less time worrying about upkeep. The compact size of the PHILIPS L'OR Barista Sublime is another advantage. It doesn’t take up much counter space, making it ideal for kitchens with limited space. Despite its compact design, it has a decent water tank capacity, so I don’t need to refill it frequently. In summary, the PHILIPS L'OR Barista Sublime Capsule Coffee Machine combines style, convenience, and versatility. Its ability to brew double shots and make multiple types of coffee makes it a standout choice for coffee lovers who appreciate quality and efficiency in their home brewing setup.

Super price and super machine. Takes any make pods Great not huge fits in nicely

Hubby loves this,this is our 2nd one,first one lasted just over 1yrs,started leaking from o ring in waterwell.Amazon refunded us purchase price so we ordered the same.He can have extra strong coffee in a mug or 2 cups at the same time. We get our pods through Amazon as well at a much cheaper rate than supermarket

Great machine so far. Awaiting the arrival of the double pods.

I liked everything about this product, I also brought one for my daughter

The pods are great flavours, the machine works great and was very quick delivery .if I only had one thing to say is that a little more packaging around the product in box would be good .

Great design, heats quickly
