Philips L'OR BARISTA Sublime Coffee Capsule Machine by Philips, for Double or Single Capsule, Red (LM9012/50)

Love the double size pod ability. Nice and easy to use and good value both machine and the cost of Lor pods. The decaf range is excellent too, tastes identical to the standard.

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.

The machine is really easy to use and easy to operate and clean and was good value especially as l got it for half price during Prime week.

My old coffee machine died and I needed a replacement. This was cheap and does the job. I use compatible pods even though there was nothing wrong with the L'or ones. It's easy to use. It heats quickly. It's not too loud. However, my only slight niggle is that you can't change the cup sizes and the biggest of the 3 settings is still too small. With my old machine you could hold down the button to make it fill the exact cup size and that was remembered each time. In fairness that was a more expensive machine but there are 3 sizes and the biggest doesn't fill a normal sized coffee cup! The photo is a small cup with the largest size coffee in. I would buy again overall as the cup size is a small gripe and you can just press the button again!

Wonderful Nespresso machine. Having the option of XXL pods is a game changer in my opinion.

I am absolutely delighted with my L'OR BARISTA Sublime Coffee Capsule Machine by Philips! It’s a sleek, stylish, compact machine that fits perfectly in my kitchen. The ability to use both single and double capsules is a great feature, allowing me to enjoy a variety of coffee styles with ease. The coffee quality is excellent – rich, smooth, and with a perfect crema every time. The machine heats up quickly and is incredibly easy to use, making my morning coffee routine effortless. Cleaning is also straightforward, which is a big plus. Overall, this is a fantastic purchase, and I couldn’t be happier. If you love barista-style coffee at home, I highly recommend this machine!

Glad to have found a decent-priced machine for my original nespresso coffee pods. The water container and the used pod tray have a larger capacity than my previous machine so that's quite nice. Also only need to press the button once to get the machine going, very easy to use. Can't complain just hope it will last a while.

I bought this machine to replace my 22 year old Magimix Nespresso machine, so it had some impressive shoes to fill. I'd used l'Or capsules in my old machine and been really impressed with the taste and quality. After using it for six months now, I think this is an excellent machine. The capacity of the XXL pods to make a good sized mug of coffee is what gives it an edge over other machines on the market. It's easy to clean and has a decent water reservoir, isn't excessively noisy or messy. The only thing I would consider an improvement would be if it had a bigger container for the used capsules, but this isn't really a major issue. While it doesn't feel as substantial as my previous machine, it still represents great value for money and performs as well or better as much more expensive machines, with reasonably priced capsules that work out at about the same cost to me as buying jars of instant. A must buy for anyone who enjoys a bigger cup of great-tasting coffee.
