Horrible coffee
I have been a fan of L'or pods over the years so these machines are a big disappointment.
Not only was the coffee lukewarm, it had a very burned taste to it.
This might be a matter of trying different pod flavors however the machine should be hotter than this - lukewarm at best.
Purchased in June 2019 for A$140.00.

The capsule loading mechanism is jamming when opening to either load or eject capsule - is this reparable or parts available?

Hi, I was just wondering - what's the purpose of the grey plastic tool that was included in the box (15 cm long handle with scraper/wedge on the end)?

Hi guys,
Any reason you haven't introduced hot chocolate pods or which ones would be compatible with my L'OR Barista :)

Any Nespresso* compatible hot chocolate capsules will fit the L’OR machines and are available in supermarkets.
When I make hot chocolate I just use the milk heater/frother on my L’OR to heat the milk and use regular drinking chocolate powder in the mug, just as easy as a capsule and cheaper.
Thanks for that :)

Thank you for your honest review, Tony. We're quite sorry to learn that out of the box it seems that the coffee isn't quite hot enough for your taste - and if it's actually lukewarm, then we definitel... Read more
y agree there might be something up. Therefore, we'd recommend to contact us on 1300 363 391 - as this allows us to look into this a bit better. Indeed, the cups that you've tried so far could be of a darker roast than you're used to, so it's good to also try a couple of different ones (perhaps a type of pod that you're already accustomed to, from before). In any case, we hope your coffee experience could be improved significantly very soon, as this indeed sounds far from ideal. Kind regards, The Philips Australia Team
