This Nespresso Phillips coffee machine is a cheaper way of getting your morning coffee boost

A single takeaway espresso in London now regularly costs £4 or more, which adds up fast if that’s part of your daily routine.

That maths is exactly what makes the Philips L’OR Barista coffee machine worth a look now that it’s down from £109.99 to £81, a 26% saving that works out at £28.99 off the usual price.

Rather than relying on ground beans or a single capsule format, this machine reads the size of whatever pod you drop in thanks to its Dual Capsule Recognition technology, automatically adjusting the brew to suit each specific coffee recipe.

That flexibility extends to the capsules themselves, since the L’OR Barista is built around exclusive double shot capsules alongside L’OR Espresso single shots, while also staying compatible with standard Nespresso Original capsules already sitting in your cupboard.

Being able to brew two cups of espresso, or a single double espresso, from one of those double shot capsules means a ristretto for two or a stronger cup just for yourself is never more than a button press away.

Underneath all that convenience sits genuine brewing power, with the system pushing coffee through at up to 19 bar of pressure to chase the same crema and intensity you would expect from a proper espresso bar.

Every machine also arrives with a coffee tasting box containing four L’OR Espresso single shot capsules and five L’OR Barista double shot capsules, so there’s no need to buy pods separately before your first cup.

With over 930 reviews averaging 4.5 stars and two years of warranty cover included as standard, this is a machine that has already proven itself to plenty of buyers well beyond the strength of a single discount.

At £81 rather than £109.99, the Philips L’OR Barista pays for itself within weeks for anyone funding a coffee habit one overpriced takeaway cup at a time, and our Best Coffee Machine 2026 guide has the full rundown.
