Versuni PHILIPS L'OR BARISTA Coffee Capsule Machine & Milk Frother, for Double or Single Capsule, Black (LM8014/60)

Of course, the flavour of the coffee is down to the capsules you buy, but, having never had one of these types of machine before, I'm completely sold on the convenience. I have a small espresso machine and seperate bean grinder, and froth the milk using the espresso machine's spout, and this is great, but involves a fair bit of cleaning.The Philips, on the other hand, is cleaned in a minute or so, quickly removing the relevant parts and running them under the tap, wiping off, etc. Even the milk frother takes no time at all to clean, so long as it's done straight after use.Some users find the frother not to their likiing, but it's perfect for me. Filling it half to the "max" line does a single cup of milk with practically no liquid left, and to the line leaves some hot milk and enough froth for 2 cups. Given it's only producing coffee for one or two cups at a time, that seems fair. The milk comes out beautifully, just as required for cappucino, for example. For a latte, it's not going to give you the same amount of hot milk liquid plus foam needed - but the machine isn't really aimed at that drink.I've not yet tried the cold milk setting - the weather's not been so blazingly sunny since I received the machine.I'm using it with Odd Coffee pods to make use of normally disposed of coffee, but given it takes the original Nespresso type, there's a wide range of choice out there.Personally, I think it's worth every penny paid.

Ticks all my boxes: easy to use 5*, easy to clean 5*, compact size 5* makes great coffee and creamer 5 *Highly recommend clear double wall cups, keeps coffee hot and looks good 👍

Compact coffee machine that takes L'Or capsules and Nespresso (original) type. Very simple to use. I'm using 'still mineral water' to avoid scaling of the machine. Very easy to keep clean . Shame in my view that the button on the milk frother is nearly the same colour as the body. Just means if you have to look carefully. (Why couldn't the frother be started from the main machine, i.e. sync'd . That would have been nice. Good value for money.

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!

Was debating buying this as I have a bean to cup machine at work, but I needn't have worried. It is brilliant, the frother works excellent for milky drinks, and I love trying different pods, at the moment our favourite is grind coffee and lavazza and illy pods, but we keep trying new ones too.Machine looks good, works well, 5 stars.

Item arrived today so excited to open the box and get to make my first coffee so disappointed to find that the milk froffer was missing. Reordered so keeping fingers crossed

Love the size and use of this applianceThe Nespresso original pods are also a good fit along with the L’or capsules

I had been looking for a nespresso machine for some time and took the plunge with this after reading the reviews and seeing a Black Friday offer. Very happy with the results, makes nice hot coffee in ristretto, espresso and lungo, and there is even a custom setting that allows you to brew with as much water as you want, which is great if you need a longer coffee. I bought the version with the added milk frother, which gives great foamy milk and also warms the milk up (best to leave the whisk out and leave it on for a minute or so to warm the milk up first. My only mistake was i could have bought the same machine direct from L'Or for a couple of pounds less but it would have come with 100 free pods! Nevertheless very happy with the machine, and a fantastic range of compatible pods available, for varying price points.
