'Fantastic' Philips coffee machine that gives 'café-quality' brew in seconds now £50 off
The Philips coffee machine uses L'OR single and double shot capsules for strong, authentic espresso.
For many, a great cup of coffee is the perfect start to the day or a much-needed pick-me-up. The convenience of capsule machines has transformed home brewing, making café-quality espresso more accessible than ever.
And Amazon currently has a great deal on a machine that offers just that. The Philips Versuni L'OR Barista Sublime Capsule Coffee Machine is now just £59, down 46 per cent from £109.
The machine is designed to work exclusively with L'OR Barista double shot and L'OR Espresso single shot capsules, delivering extra power and authentic espresso flavour.
It can brew either one or two cups at once, letting users enjoy a ristretto for two or a double espresso in a single cup. The L'OR Barista System uses high pressure, up to 19 bar, to guarantee true espresso quality.
Volume personalisation allows easy adjustment of coffee length to suit individual taste preferences.
Each machine comes with a tasting box that includes four L'OR Espresso single shot and five L'OR Barista double shot capsules. The machine is also compatible with Nespresso capsules, increasing its versatility.
Alternatives to consider include the Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie Evo, priced at £99 on the Lavazza website, and the Nespresso Vertuo Pop Coffee Machine in Liquorice Black, also at £99.00 on the Nespresso site.
But for those keen on the Philips Versuni L'OR Barista Sublime Capsule Coffee Machine, the model holds a strong 4.5 rating from 2,735 reviews.
One buyer said: 'This machine is a fantastic choice if you want café-quality espresso drinks at home without any fuss. One of the standout features is its ability to brew either two single espressos at the same time or a double espresso in one cup.'
Another buyer praised the included bonus: 'I love it! Got it in the prime day deal for 49.99! Chuffed! Mine arrived in perfect condition and they also include a box of 9 different capsules to try. Easy to set up. Coffee takes about 30 seconds to make (an espresso).'
However, not everyone had the same experience. A reviewer said: 'The build quality isn't the best… this machine is reluctant to pierce the pods properly, so sometimes it's a battle to make the coffee.'

One customer said the machine didn't work properly with the larger capsules: 'It didn't brew the coffee, instead it pushed a lot of water to the bottom… I can only use the small size. Never again!!!'
Still, many were satisfied overall. A five-star reviewer said: 'It has worked perfectly with any Nespresso compatible capsules that I have used… really easy to use, almost plug and play simple!'
Overall, the Philips Versuni L'OR Barista Sublime Capsule Coffee Machine provides a solid option for those seeking quick, quality espresso with the convenience of capsules. It blends functionality with a compact, stylish design and offers flexibility for single or double shots.
