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

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.

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 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.

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

Nice compact size, easy to use and clean, comes with complimentary pods, good price. We use it all the tine!

Don’t waste your money it failed spectacularly. Sent it back for repair and it came back worse than when it went, brew chamber pressurised and ejected hot water. It can’t handle xxl capsules doesn’t recognise them, volume of brew keeps resetting to factory. A build that is not thought through and of poor quality would never buy another so trying nesspresso next

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.

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.

Great design, heats quickly
