Tricky
This is a hard review for me to do. I think this machine is a very good machine. I've had different machines like this "pod style" and by far this is the best one i've had. What I really like about the machine is as follows: heats up very quickly, coffee produced from machine is very hot!! Hottest coffee I've had from a pod machine, the milk frother is attached to the machine so no need for 2 cords "fantastic!" and the machine is nice looking. What I don't like is as follows, the color isn't what I expected. The machine out of the box...Read more
had finger prints on the pod door?? opening shoot lever??, and I wiped and wiped and they still didn't really come out. Also, this machine, the goldish/brassy color on the top is very hard to keep clean. Any little mark and the machine looks dirty. Think fingerprints on a phone screen. I wish it held more water. 1 litre of water is very small when you have 3 people drinking full double shot coffees from machine. Milk frother works excellent but holds only enough for one cup of coffee so even though you can make two shots at once, you're only making milk for one and you have to start over.....meanwhile, one of your shots is now cold. Then again it depends on you and how much milk you want in your coffee so that could be subjective. It makes a very quick cup of hot coffee. There's very little clean up. Much faster and cleaner than making a shot from a big espresso machine, so that's a bonus, but the coffee your drinking is not comparable to your big espresso machines. Last but not least, the coffee from this machine is subjective "I don't like it", but I'm not rating the coffee here, and I didn't include the coffee in the review points. In fact, this machine is fantastic!! I just need to find a coffee I like and I'll be satisfied. I would honestly give it 4 out of 5 stars and most people would love this machine. It's a very good machine and this is the fourth pod style machine of it's kind that I've owned. The best one out of the kind I've owned. I bought this machine because our Breville Pro Espresso Machine just died and it's not a good time for us to buy a new Espresso machine 2 weeks before Christmas and we had been drinking instant coffee for a few days and decided this would be a better alternative than instant. I'm not sure it's better than instant. Actually, if you have a good instant coffee I wouldn't bother with one of these machines. It doesn't have any better coffee quality than instant, but!!! I'm going to try to find different pods to put through machine. I might even order some from Nespresso and that's another bonus about this machine!!! You have the ability to use many different pods from a variety of sources and they're easy to find. They're sold throughout Woolworths and Coles stores and you have a huge choice of coffee companies to choose from... unliike the Nespresso machine who lock you into their pods that you have to either go to a Nespresso store or order online. Which I don't like the idea of.

Excellent Machine and Great Coffee to Boot
I and my wife love this machine and we are very happy with the purchase.
Myer was having a $50 off sale and with the $50 Cash Back we saved a huge amount of money so what was a $249 machine turned out to cost us only $149.
Add to that they also have an offer that gives you 50 capsules for free as part of the Redemption offers.
It is a great machine well built and easy to use the best thing it comes with a Milk Frother so it's a great mix of Coffee and Milk in one system.

Perfect coffee every time!
I love this machine it is so easy to use and the coffee is amazing, perfect every time! If as suggested in the instructions you run a shot of hot water into your cup before inserting a pod then the coffee temperature is definitely hot, a perfect drinking temperature.
I bought my machine from Myer and was so impressed that I bought one for my son and his wife who also find it fantastic, so quick and easy to make a great morning coffee, I always want a second cup!

The aluminium pods are easy to recycle, Planet Ark have many collection points at florists etc. I scoop out the coffee grains and compost them, rinse the pod, when stacked together they take up very little space.

Horrible coffee
I have been a fan of L'or pods over the years so these machines are a big disappointment.
Not only was the coffee lukewarm, it had a very burned taste to it.
This might be a matter of trying different pod flavors however the machine should be hotter than this - lukewarm at best.

y agree there might be something up. Therefore, we'd recommend to contact us on 1300 363 391 - as this allows us to look into this a bit better. Indeed, the cups that you've tried so far could be of a darker roast than you're used to, so it's good to also try a couple of different ones (perhaps a type of pod that you're already accustomed to, from before). In any case, we hope your coffee experience could be improved significantly very soon, as this indeed sounds far from ideal. Kind regards, The Philips Australia TeamSimilar opinion?

Perfect for all coffee lovers!
I am a huge fan of the L’OR Barista Coffee Machine. First of all, I love the way it looks on my kitchen bench, it’s compact and chic. The process of making a coffee is also very simple, which is appealing, especially when you’re in a rush of a morning.
The capsules are great, I love the variety of strengths - the Double Shot Ristretto is definitely a favourite! The coffee tastes just as good as it would in an expensive Sydney cafe, so if you ask me, this machine is basically saving me money! I haven’t had the opportunity to use too many other...Read more
coffee machines, but compared to the ones I have used, this one definitely comes out on top. The fact that it makes two cups at a time and is easy to dismantle to clean, are just added bonuses! The only fault I found with it though, was the lid for the capsule holder. It wasn’t as smooth as it could’ve been and seemed a bit clunky when opening and closing it, almost as if I was going to break it. It does seem better now, but I don’t know if that’s due to the machine being used or I’m getting used to the feel of it. Also, the capsule didn’t always drop into the tray once it had been dispensed. But this wasn’t too much of an issue. Overall, this machine gets top marks from me, and I will definitely recommend it to anyone in the market for an affordable and effective coffee machine!Purchased in March 2021.

Beautiful looking coffee machine
I absolutely love the sleek modern design of the coffee machine. It looks superb in any kitchen setting. I really love the double brew option, so hubby and I can share a coffee at the same time. Compared to other capsule coffee machines, i find the L'OR coffee machine has more cup options to choose from. I also find it froths the milk beautifully.

This is the best machine that's affordable, sleek and compatible
I think the machine is very compact and can fit in my small kitchen without taking too much space and it is aesthetically pleasing. I think the cleaning for this machine is great because I don't need to clean it too often which makes it very convenient. Of course the whole concept of this machine makes everything so easy and allows a double shot so that's so amazing. I'm also so happy the set up time was also fast. Moreover the machine is quite affordable.

All-in-one modern, sophisticated and affordable coffee machine
On first impression, the coffee machine looks so elegant and sophisticated. It is compact which makes it a good addition to even the smallest of kitchen spaces. It has the option of doing double expressos which is amazing and is also an affordable machine, with a selection of capsules that vary in flavour and coffee intensity.

Super easy to use!! Anyone would easily be able to use it, even if you are new to making coffee as the instructions are so clear (and the signage on the machine is amazing)
The machine is very chic and looks very stylish even when not in use. It doesn’t take up much benchspace which is a huge priority in my household and it is seriously so well designed, it is beautiful compared to other machines.

This product can make 2 coffees at once! Perfect!
What I loved the most was the fact you can brew 2 coffees at the same time! This is fantastic! The taste is great too, easy to use and aesthetically speaking, very modern and chic. The material could be a little stronger. This is a machine to buy if: you have more people in your house so it’s easier to make 2 coffees, if you like to match your kitchen with the appliances (it’s a very modern and beautiful machine) and if you enjoy a great variety of coffee types. They also have a recycling program that I found incredible! Well done!

Any Nespresso* compatible hot chocolate capsules will fit the L’OR machines and are available in supermarkets.
When I make hot chocolate I just use the milk heater/frother on my L’OR to heat the milk and use regular drinking chocolate powder in the mug, just as easy as a capsule and cheaper.
Thanks for that :)
Google Travelerasked
I am very fussy with my milk temperature.
Can you confirm that the frother heats milk to 74C ?
Hope so - that is ideal for me.
Thanks

Actually, although its small, the frother worked great and it did get the milk very hot. I didnt take the temperature of the milk but it was hot! I remember being surprised because I'm very fussy about my milk as well. I took my whole machine back after a couple days. I was too use to my big breville espresso machine so the coffee that came out of this machine was disgusting IMO. I tried a few different brands as well but I just didnt like it. If you're not fussy about your coffee then the machine will probably work great for you because the frother works great.
Thank you for your input.
Much appreciated.
It creates a perfect temperature that mixes with the coffee very well and doesn’t make it so it’s boiling hot a good temperature so you can take a sip without burning your lips.
I have a seperate larger frother because it will do one cup at a time which is time consuming and takes time to cool down.
Very happy with the machine and if doing only one coffee it’s great to have.
