PHILIPS L'OR Barista Latte, Pod Coffee Machine with Milk Frother, Black

​I am absolutely thrilled with this machine! Honestly, it is the best thing I’ve bought in the last few years. The quality and usability are top-notch, and it feels like a premium piece of kit on my kitchen counter. It looks fantastic and is incredibly practical. ​What I Love: ​The Genius Design: I love how the used pods fall into their own container. Unlike other machines I’ve had, the water doesn’t mix with the empty pods, keeping everything much cleaner and easier to maintain. ​Versatility: Being able to use both standard single pods and the XXL pods is brilliant. If I need a serious kick, the XXL does the job perfectly without needing two separate capsules. ​Milk Frother: The milk frother on the side is excellent—it makes café-quality foam and is very easy to use. ​Value for Money: The price is totally legit. For the build quality and the features you get, it is extremely good value. ​The Coffee: ​I’ve already registered and received a great discount for the pods, and I’ve got my first bulk delivery on the way. The coffee is exactly what I was looking for: good, strong, and nice. L’OR seems to focus on the coffee quality rather than just "shiny pods," which I really appreciate. We don't need fancy marketing; we just need that strong caffeine kick! ​Final Thoughts: ​I’m so happy with this purchase. My only hope now is that the machine is robust enough to last for years without issues and that L’OR keeps their pod prices fair. If you want a practical, genius design that delivers a strong coffee, this is the one to get. ​Highly recommended! ​Note: I am a genuine buyer and owner of this machine; I used an AI assistant to help me polish my thoughts and structure this review to make sure it was clear!

Brilliant lovely coffees but would not get the milk attachment in hindsight happy with black espresso good kit

I brought this coffee machine for our office. It arrived very well packaged, and from using it, its amazing. It was very easy to setup, and you can be up an running in no time. After using this machine for a while, it can make some noise, but nothing too much that bothers me personally. The milk frother also works great, and froths the milk a good level of froth. I will mention that I would like this machine to have froth modes, but for price, it does a great job. In terms of coffee pods, I like the fact you don't have to use lor coffee pods only, you can use your supermarket versions, which can save money. However, after trying all the lor coffee pods, intensities 7-12, I like them all. A mix of 7 individual different packs of coffee is around £40, this sounds alot but I believe there is 7-10 pods. Either way, that's a lot of coffee to work through, so for £40 your getting 7-12 intensitys with different flavours of coffee, my pack had decaf, if your a decaf coffee drinker.

The machine itself is good and more importantly the coffee is good and there’s a good selection of coffee strengths, I like the fact you can buy double size pods. The dislikes - the machine is a bulky and too big to fit properly on the Amazon capsule drawer storage box. It’s a bit ‘plasticky’ and doesn’t seem as good build quality as the Lavazza machines. The main problem is the frother *beware* it’s a waste of time - don’t bother buying it attached to the coffee machine. It only takes a minute amount of milk to turn it into - and I’m not kidding the volume of a house! Why? Who needs this amount of foam, it’s pointless! Am I doing something wrong because you can’t seem to make a long drink with milk. So just buy a separate milk warmer and frother - problem solved!

Fantastic machine, everyone is enjoining it so far, great price.

L’ OR Barista With Milk Frother: It’s quite compact and sleek, doesn’t take up too much room on kitchen bench. You can use a variety of different pods and you can also recycle the pods via pod bags. My favourites at the moment are the flavoured espresso pods, would definitely recommend! Milk frother is easy to clean, and coffee pours out instant. I’m happy I managed to get it on offer.

Utter utter junk. Flimsy handle that broke in weeks. Before it broke it just mangled pods. Before that it just made dirty water, not coffee. Even the brief time functional it was no good and dribbled far too long. I sent it back to be fixed (I clearly stated 2 problems - it came back with a note that just one of them i.e. the lever was now fixed. It wasn't) I wasted 20 or 30 pods trying to make it work, lost losts of time calling Amazon about it. To their credit I got a refund for the machine but I asked for compensation for all the lost pods and they idnore my request several times then finally said no. Not good and the level I expected of Amazon. It's currently sat outside in a box yet again waiting to be collected. It even looks cheap outside. DON'T BUY!

Easy to use excellent
