I’ve tried several different coffee makers. I really didn’t want one that used pods but after trying the batista style ones that I found messy, I can’t fault this. Single or double pods you can buy. A great coffee maker at great price.
The range of pods readily available from nearly every retailer makes this an affordable way to enjoy a daily latte. Or 3!
Machine itself is very sleek looking and extremely easy to use, with 3 simple buttons depending on what size of coffee you wa
Had been looking for this for a few weeks before Black Friday, but prices in Argos and Curry’s were hiked up right before Black Friday started
Happened to spot this on Amazon for 45 brand new! Absolute bargain! Came with a selection of pods starter pack plus a 20 off voucher. AMAZING
Works really well. Just wish I’d got the one with frother attached.
A very good buy
Very pleased so far if a trifle bulky for a small kitchen.
Lovely coffees delivered from ANY capsules.
Let’s hope it keeps going as many of these machines have a very limited life, inspite of regular descaling.
A stylish addition to the kitchen. No regrets and very happy with the purchase.
(I have not been offered any incentive for this review. I am just a regular customer who bought a new coffee machine)
Love our new coffee machine. Makes lovely thick milk foam. Easy to use. Will be trying the reusable pods to cut down on waste and enable us to us our favourite coffee.
This is a really nice machine makes 3 size cups. I like a nice latte and this makes a good shot of coffee or even a lungo size. takes the original size nespresso capsules and also many others on the market. If you brew the coffee into your warm milk makes a lovely layered coffee. Had no issues and enjoy either a small cup or large cup when I fancy with a huge range or coffees to choose from. The lor capsules are a really nice rich coffee in my opinion. with espresso to XL size.
I have had a number of nespresso compatible machines over the years. They have all been fine but they have all shared the same problem that you can’t place a normal sized mug on the drip tray. You either have to remove the drip tray, or decant your coffee from an expresso cup. At last… this is a machine where you can just use a normal sized mug without moving stuff around. This machine is also a lot quieter than the other capsule machines I have used.
I am not particularly interested in the larger capsule option (although I was very happy to receive the samples with the machine). But I guess that this might be a great option for people who want to fill their cups with lots of coffee quickly.
I received a taster pack in the box including some of the XL pods which are nice and also some money off vouchers for buying the XL pods in the supermarket. I am yet to actually find a supermarket that sell them which is disappointing. Also similar to getting the 20 voucher code if you register the machine online but have to spend 50 to use it.
Very happy with this machine, would recommend.
Using L’or XXL pods this is much better the Nesspresso single pod machine. Two coffees in the same time as it takes to make one, and I feel the L’or coffee is better.
I have a good bean-to-cup manual coffee machine which I have been using for over 3 years until recently it had some issues and was sent for a repair.
So I can’t live without a coffee and I don’t want to spend a lot buying them everyday at the shop.
I was tempted to buy a reasonably priced machine that even if my previous machine is repaired I can still use another one to have fun. I did a lot of research then I felt this might be a good one. And I eventually bought it while the price was really good.
I just tried it. I am so excited it’s flawless. The demonstration pictures are a bit confusing as the actual size of the machine is not that bulky. It’s quick to heat up and makes very good coffee. I have to say I am a picky person but this one I have nothing to complain about!
Works with the majority of pods and super easy to use and clean. Plus roasting two cups at once is a great help.
I picked it up as an offer in prime day but it’s still worth more than the full price.
The prices of Nespresso coffee machines that use the original small capsules have become too expensive for me and I didn’t want to switch to their newer Vertuo machines which, although reasonably priced, only take Nespresso’s double sized capsules and I don’t always want a double shot of coffee
Therefore, I chose the Phillips L’OR Barista coffee machine which uses L’OR XXL capsules for a double shot (you can split the coffee into 2 cups) and also takes the smaller Nespresso-type capsules for a single shot – bonus!
NOTE – the unit does not accept Nespresso Vertuo capsules; you must order the exclusive L’OR XXL pods if you want a double shot of coffee but for single shots you have the choice of Nespresso, L’OR, Starbucks and other compatible brands, so pretty versatile
REVIEW:
The machine is simple to use and the coffee is hot – I always rinse the cups out with hot water first and use hot milk to ensure a hot brew
There is no on/off switch – simply select the applicable ristretto, espresso or lungo button on top of the unit which flashes for 25 seconds and then dispenses hot coffee through 2 spouts for one or 2 cups
The drip trays and used capsule receptacle are easy to remove and clean, as is the water container at the rear of the unit. For taller mugs, remove the main drip tray to reveal a shallower one underneath
I bought the Barista black model in a smooth satin finish (not glossy piano black) to fit with the rest of my kitchen decor – red and white options are also available, depending on the supplier
Register your unit online for a 3 years warranty – the first year is with the vendor and the next 2 are with Daewoo
THE COFFEE:
The machine is supplied with a selection of 9 x L’OR coffee pods in varying strengths including XXL and the smaller size. They all taste fine to me apart from the Grand Caf Filtre XXL, which is filtered coffee in style and without any crema. I found it rather weak in flavour and watery in texture.
I’ll probably stick to the single-shot Nespresso pods for the moment as I have plenty and I’ve got used to the flavour over several years, but the lower priced equivalents from L’Or are very tempting. I’ve already ordered 50 pods (5 boxes of 10 XXL Forza strength 9) which taste good and are excellent value at around 50p per pod as they will supply 2 cups of coffee
IN CONCLUSION – Everything works as it should. The unit is as quiet in operation as other coffee dispensers I’ve owned over the years and I can’t fault it. The 3 year warranty is reassuring and the L’OR coffee is very acceptable. Overall, a happy customer!
Definitely recommend it.
I really like the coffee machine and it’s capabilities, i have to say i am disappointed that the drain catcher is really cheap plastic. They went out all out on the machine but failed here
