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

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.

Love it - so easy to use. I had a bit of trouble getting to redeem the £20 worth of capsules but all good in the end. It makes a lovely drop of coffee - just wish it had a frother but the money paid was well worth it and heartily recommend it. It’s compatible with Nespresso capsules so you get a great range of coffee types too!!!

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...

I purchased this machine as a gift and overall I’m happy with the coffee quality and how easy it is to use. The L’OR Barista Sublime makes very good espresso with nice crema, heats quickly, and works well with compatible capsules, which is a big plus. However, I am removing one star because the product listing is misleading and unfortunately caused disappointment when giving the gift. The promotional video shown on the page appears to feature a different model with WiFi connectivity, and the description mentioned a milk frother, which this version does not include. Because of this, I explained to the recipient that those features were included, and it was awkward to realise they were not actually part of this model. The machine itself works well once you understand what you are getting, but the listing should be corrected to clearly reflect the exact model and included accessories to avoid misleading buyers, especially when purchasing as a gift.

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.

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

Very easy to set up and easy to use. I did some research beforehand and checked several different outlets before ordering through Amazon (Tesco do stock the same machine but it's much more expensive). I consider this machine to be even better value as they include a nice Taster Box of 9 different varieties of coffee pods to sample although a minor moan - why isn't a decaff pod included ? The machine itself is good quality (made by Philips - a long established trusted legacy brand) although I have my concerns that the plastic release handle/flap/locking lever to insert new pods does feel like it won't put up with masses of wear and could become slack or even brittle at some point but only time will tell on this. Overall excellent machine, very good value for money and delicious coffee in only a few minutes - what's not to like. I use Tesco Finest Non Decaf Original N'espresso Pods and was able to buy a box of 10 L'or Decaf Pods in Tesco for less than Tesco's own Finest Brand. Also the used Pod Reservoir/Storage box where the pods get ejected to after use is big enough that I only need to empty it once a week. All in all very little to complain about Highly Recommended great coffee machine for the money l.

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.
