The dual capsule size system is also a big plus, letting me make single or double shots depending on my mood.Cleanup is a breeze, and the machine heats up quickly, so I can enjoy my coffee without any hassle.

5.0 out of 5 stars L'OR BARISTA Sublime Coffee Capsule Machine

J.A. · 3 June 2025

I’m really happy with the L'OR BARISTA Sublime Coffee Capsule Machine by Philips, especially in the striking red finish. This machine is a fantastic choice if you want café-quality espresso drinks at home without any fuss. One of the standout features is its ability to brew either two single espressos at the same time or a double espresso in one cup, thanks to the exclusive L'OR Barista double shot capsule system. The dual capsule recognition technology is genuinely clever—it automatically detects the capsule size and adjusts the coffee settings, so you always get the perfect cup whether you’re using a single or double pod.Using the machine couldn’t be easier. Just pull up the lever, pop in your capsule, and choose from three drink sizes—ristretto, espresso, or lungo—at the touch of a button. The 19-bar pressure system ensures you get rich, aromatic coffee with a beautiful crema every time, and the adjustable drip tray means you can use anything from a small espresso cup to a tall mug for your morning coffee. The water tank holds 0.8 liters, which is enough for several drinks before needing a refill, and the pod bin is easy to empty and holds about 10 used capsules.I love how compact and stylish the machine looks on the counter, and the red color really pops in any kitchen. It’s also available in other shades if you prefer something more understated. The build quality feels solid, and it’s surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to move or clean around. There’s an automatic shut-off feature for safety and energy savings, and cleaning is simple with removable parts like the drip tray and water tank.Another big plus is the versatility with capsules. While it’s designed for L'OR single and double shot capsules, it’s also compatible with Nespresso OriginalLine pods and many supermarket alternatives, so you have a huge variety of coffee options to choose from. The machine comes with a starter pack of nine L'OR capsules, so you can try a range of flavors right away.The only thing to keep in mind is that it doesn’t have a built-in milk frother, so if you love lattes or cappuccinos, you might want to pair it with a separate milk frother. The machine can be a bit noisy during brewing, but it’s quick—your coffee is ready in under two minutes from start to finish.Overall, the L'OR BARISTA Sublime is a brilliant, user-friendly machine that delivers delicious espresso drinks with minimal effort. It’s perfect for anyone who wants great coffee at home, whether you’re making a quick cup for yourself or serving guests with ease. If you’re looking for a reliable, stylish, and versatile capsule coffee machine, this one is a fantastic choice.

Not had any problems with this machine. It has worked perfectly with any Nespresso compatible capsules that I have used, from many different suppliers, and I can't fault it.It is a nice size and fits on the kitchen counter exactly where I wanted it to and is really easy to use, almost plug and play simple!The only slight grips is that, when emptying the old capsules, the container can be a bit fiddly but that is really minor.Overall, a great machine, at a great price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great coffee maker for those on a budget!

I bought this coffee maker back in December 2023 and have been using it for almost 6 months now. I can confidently say it is a great piece of equipment that works well and efficiently!It warms up fast and pours coffee even faster. It’s also easy and convenient to take apart to clean (see picture). It’s also very useful that the tray under where the coffee comes out is removable so you can put taller glasses under it with ease.Furthermore it’s compatible with many different brands of coffee pods which means there’s a variety of flavours to choose from (see last image where pictured are lor pods, starbucks pods and lidl pods).I bought it for £50 around Christmas time and would say it was definitely a fair price for what it is.The only con is that the coffee it makes is not very hot, in fact I would say it comes out luke warm at best. I usually only drink iced coffee (this lor machine is great for making iced coffee using just a regular espresso pod!) so it’s not a huge problem for me. When I have tried to make a hot coffee, the coffee seems to be steaming and hot when it pours but once any amount of milk is added it is immediately cooled and the final cup of coffee is cold (which I find is not the case with my parent’s Nespresso pod machine).Overall I would say this machine is worth the money if you enjoy iced coffee or you don’t mind luke warm coffee or have a milk frother/something to heat up the milk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well, what a lovely machine!!!

Well, what a lovely machine, very well designed and beautifully made! Absolutely fantastic coffee from my normal Nespresso standard pods (it does take the larger pods as well). So simple to use, fill up the 1ltr water container, place a pod in the receptacle and pull the lever down and press the required button…(Ristretto, Expresso or Lungo - and double strength available on each flavour also) Early days, but a great machine for £98.00 (on offer) Packaging was great as well! 👍👌💥 Excellent

Love it

We get our pods through Bolo as well at a much cheaper rate than supermarket
