Philips L'OR Barista Sublime, Pod Coffee Machine, Dual Spout, 19 bars,Black

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.

This is by far the best coffee machine I’ve ever had. Makes a great cup of coffee and looks premium. It’s made with high quality materials and is really modern and u can use all sorts of pods from different brands. Its strong and is easy to use

Lovely machine for those who don't want to over sophisticate their life. Reasonable size, easy to install (plug in, fill the water tank, pop a pod). The coffee tastes nice and good quality (depending on the quality of the pod as well, of course). Low maintenance, easy clean. I cannot fault the unit itself. One point to mention - opposed to the video shown on Amazon, there isn't any app for Philips L'Or on iPhones. However, I cannot imagine why would you need an app for a simple and fast coffee machine like this - it takes more time to pick up the phone and start the app than pop in a pod and press the button. But that's just me being old-fashioned and practical...

Good machine works effectively and uses nespresso pods so big range to chose from. Only down size it's very long and takes up quite a lot of space

Only had it a few weeks, bought to replace an old Nesspresso machine that had sprung a leak. Replacement similar machines seemed to have undergone a massive price hike so thought I’d give the L’Or one a go. It’s slightly bulkier than the old one but twin spout and a couple of extra features (extra coffee size button and twin capsule size feature) make up for marginally extra worktop real estate requirements. But does it work alright, that’s the question, and I have to say, up to yet I’m more than happy with it. Others have commented it brews a slightly hotter drink, it does and to me this is an improvement over the old machine. I believe it also squeezes a bit more flavour out of our regular brand of capsules too, improving my espressos and my wife’s lattes (using the milk frother from the old system). The three dispensing quantity buttons making life easier to accommodate brew choices. Drip tray and waste cartridge catcher are a good size for a few coffees, cleaning them along with the removable dispensing spout a breeze. Looks tidy enough and dispensing speed excellent. Up to yet I’ve had no leaks or problems. For the price I’d have to say it’s a great buy if it lasts the time, my old Nesspresso lasted 5 years before incontinence set in, if this one lasts similarly I will be more than happy

Great coffee machine with a choice of the regular nespresso compatible pods or the XXL l'or pods. It's not as noisy as my last machine and the coffee is hot and strong. Definitely recommend.

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.

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.

excellent machine

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

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 .

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

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