Capsule coffee machine promising café-style double espressos, flexible cup options and a full coffee menu. Philips L'OR Barista Sublime Capsule Coffee Machine helps home baristas enjoy ristretto, single or double espresso without extra fuss. Is it the right choice for anyone who wants concentrated flavour with capsule convenience?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Brewing Quality: High-pressure extraction up to 19 bar for true espresso flavour and dense crema
  • Best for: Home espresso drinkers who want concentrated shots with capsule convenience
  • Not ideal for: Users who prefer fresh-bean grind-to-cup machines or full manual control

Compatible with exclusive L'OR Barista double shot and L'OR Espresso single shot capsules. Includes a tasting box and supports one- or two-cup pours with adjustable volume.


Intense double espressos – Thanks to L'OR Barista double shot capsules

Designed specifically for exclusive L'OR Barista double shot capsules and L'OR Espresso single shot capsules, enabling a concentrated dose per capsule that can be dispensed as one double espresso or split into two cups. Capsule geometry and formulation deliver a stronger extraction without needing multiple capsules.

Serve a powerful double espresso or two concentrated ristretto-style portions, ideal for sharing or for a stronger single serve.

True espresso extraction – With up to 19 bar pressure

High-pressure extraction, rated up to 19 bar, forces hot water through capsules to extract oils and soluble solids efficiently, producing characteristic crema. Higher pressure supports fuller flavour development compared with low-pressure capsule options.

Expect a richer crema and more concentrated flavour that better resembles café espresso rather than weak capsule brews.

Custom cup length – Thanks to volume personalisation controls

Simple volume adjustment lets users set the coffee length for each brew so the shot matches personal taste. Controls allow consistent repetition of chosen volumes from ristretto to longer espresso.

Make short, intense shots or slightly longer espressos consistently without changing capsules or guessing volumes.
