What's a Philips L'OR Barista and how does it work?
Everything on L'OR
With a L'OR espresso machine, you can quickly and easily make cups of coffee. This coffee machine basically works the same way as a Nespresso machine. You put a capsule in the opening and press the button for coffee. The coffee is prepared under a pressure of 19 bar, which results in an espresso or lungo with a full aroma and a beautiful crema.
Coffee specialties
Make 2 espressos at the same time
The fact that you can make 2 espressos or ristrettos at the same time is what makes the L'OR Barista unique. Normally, you always make 1 cup of coffee at a time with a capsule machine. Of these 2 espressos, you can also make a double espresso for yourself. You can use the XXL capsule for this, to make a double amount. You can easily insert the capsule into the opening and press the button for the cup of coffee you want. The coffee machine has a smart brew system and recognizes the capsule automatically. As a result, it'll adjust the volume of the coffee accordingly.
Make a cup of filter coffee too
In addition to the double espresso, you can also make filter coffee. There are special capsules for this. The XXL capsules have a tab. Remove the tab, so the water can flow through the capsule. That way, the coffee won't be as strong and you won't have a crema. Ideal, if you prefer a mild cup of coffee.
Suitable for all coffee capsules
With the coffee capsules by L'OR, you can make ristrettos, espressos, and lungos with various flavors and strength. Despite the own brand coffee capsules, you can also use capsules from other A and B brands in these coffee machines. As long as the capsules are made of aluminum, you can use all capsules. Nice, because this means you're not restricted in your options.
Make a cappuccino with a L'OR Barista
Do you like to drink a cappuccino? Make sure you have a milk frother next to your L'OR. Philips has their own milk frother that fits well next to your L'OR. You can fill the milk frother with cold milk. The milk frother automatically heats up your milk within one minute. To make a cappuccino or latte macchiato, pour the milk into your espresso. Your homemade cappuccino is done.
Easy maintenance
A large advantage of a L'OR coffee machine is that it's very maintenance-friendly. The only thing you have to do is to descale it once every 3 months. You'll receive a notification for this. This will take you about 40 minutes. While descaling, you can rinse the machine with descaler and water. Did you choose a milk frother in addition to your L'OR? You can clean this after making your milk specialty right away.
