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

The Philips L'OR Barista Sublime LM9012/60 is a capsule coffee machine using L'OR Espresso single-shot and L'OR Barista double-shot capsules, brewing at up to 19 bar and able to produce either two cups of espresso or one double espresso from a single double-shot capsule. It has an 800ml water tank, adjustable coffee length, and ships with a 9-capsule tasting box. It holds a 4.4-star average across 2,312 reviews at the time of collection.

This is a capsule-format alternative to the bean-to-cup machines in this range, well suited to buyers who want espresso-strength coffee with no grinding or dosing at all, at a notably lower price than the fully automatic machines covered here.

• Capsule format removes grinding, dosing and tamping entirely, unlike the bean-to-cup machines in this range • Up to 19-bar extraction pressure targets genuine espresso strength • Double-shot capsules can serve two cups or one strong double, adding flexibility • Comes with a 9-capsule tasting box to start • Strong review base (2,312 reviews) at a 4.4-star average • Significantly lower price than the bean-to-cup machines in this comparison

• Requires ongoing purchase of L'OR-branded (or compatible) capsules rather than any bean of choice • No integrated grinder or milk frother, so milk drinks need a separate frothing method • 800ml tank is smaller than the bean-to-cup machines' water reservoirs in this range

Buyers who want espresso-strength coffee with zero grinding, dosing or cleanup. Budget-conscious buyers who don't need an integrated grinder. Households happy to commit to capsule-based coffee

You want to grind fresh beans of your own choosing. You want built-in milk frothing for lattes and cappuccinos. You want to avoid the ongoing running cost of capsules
