Philips L'OR Barista Sublime Capsule Coffee Machine Champagne | LM9012/70

Philips L'OR Barista Sublime LM9012/70 Capsule Coffee Machine — Champagne

Dual-capsule brewing for the pod-coffee household

Not everyone wants a full bean-to-cup machine. Pod machines still make sense for households that value speed and low cleanup over ultimate cost-per-cup. The Philips L'OR Barista Sublime LM9012/70 is the current top-end L'OR machine — twin capsule chambers so you can brew a proper espresso and a long coffee together for a stronger cup or two drinks at once. The champagne finish is a step up from the usual black-plastic pod machine look. Part of our coffee machines range.

What makes it different from a standard pod machine

• Two capsule holders for double espresso, americano or two drinks simultaneously
• 19-bar pressure for a proper espresso crema
• Multiple drink sizes: espresso, lungo, XL for americano-style long coffees
• Fast heat-up — first cup ready in about 25 seconds
• Compact footprint for smaller countertops
• Uses L'OR and Nespresso-original capsules (aluminium)
• Removable, dishwasher-safe drip tray and capsule bin
• Champagne metallic finish

The twin-capsule feature is the real selling point. If two of you want coffee, one machine does it in one pass. If you like a stronger cup, brew two espresso capsules in one drink for a proper double. The champagne finish is a step up in kitchen aesthetics too — it looks more like a small piece of kitchen jewellery than a pod machine. Compatible pods available from most Irish supermarkets and specialist coffee shops. See the range at Beattys of Loughrea in person — directions here.
