When purchasing a good quality coffee machine, you’d be hard pressed to find any other recommendation than that of Nespresso.
However, if you want to create barista-style brew straight from home, there are many other brands you can try. One of them is the Philips L’OR Barista Sublime – and it’s currently on offer for less than £50 for anyone with a Prime membership.
The Amazon Big Deal Days has reduced this “brilliant” coffee machine from £109.99 to just £49.99 – a 55 percent saving overall. Considering its on sale at Argos for £60 and Currys for £59.99, we’d suggest bagging Amazon’s deal while you can.
The selling point of this award-winning machine is the fact that it allows you to create two smooth espressos at once, which no Nespresso machine does. It’s value for money is made even greater when you find out it is also compatible with Nespresso capsules.
Designed exclusively for barista double shot and espresso single shot capsules, this machine uses 19 bar pressure to create “smooth” and “rich” tasting coffee. You can also personalise the coffee length to match your taste preference.
Amazon users who have bagged the L’OR Barista Sublime have raved over it in glowing reviews, with many of them going as far as to say that it’s “better than Nespresso” and “a coffee lovers dream”.
One glowing review read: “Piping hot coffee every time. Bought to replace a small Nespresso, find this much better to use. Plenty of space for used capsules, drip tray easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Far better value for money than a branded Nespresso machine, same bar pressure and this one came with a sample pack of L’or pods to try.”

A second echoing the sentiment wrote: “We’ve had this machine a few days now and it’s brilliant. Much better than the Nespresso machines and we’ve had a few. Coffee comes out quicker and hotter, plus you can use the extra large capsules if you want. Also the price is excellent. Only one fault I can find it could do with a light to show its switched on after plugging in.”
A third remarked: “The PHILIPS L’OR BARISTA Sublime Coffee Capsule Machine is a coffee lover’s dream. It’s versatile, accommodating both double and single capsules, and it delivers excellent volume, ensuring a perfect cup every time. With its sleek design and convenience, it’s a fantastic addition to any coffee enthusiast’s kitchen.”
One user did drop a star off their review over the design, as they wrote: “Replaced my broken nespresso machine with this. Makes great coffee and is versatile although the design isn’t as sturdy as the machine it replaced and it’s got a bigger footprint on the counter.”
