The L’OR Barista Latte coffee maker is a “more complete” version of the simple L’OR Barista since, as its name suggests, it is sold with a milk frother to ensure milk drinks.
With the Barista Latte, L’OR and Philips are transforming the trial and come to heckle Nespresso on its land. Simple, fast and efficient, the Barista offers several coffee sizes and can dispense two preparations simultaneously. More versatile than the L’OR Barista, which only prepares coffee, this version serves milk drinks. In addition, its catalog of capsules, less expensive than that of its competitor, and its availability in supermarkets could convince many users. Too bad that the capsules are made of aluminum, which in fact represents a real ecological abyss.
Strong points
- Simple to use and easy to maintain.
- Multiple coffee sizes available.
- Rapid preheating and extraction.
- Quiet machine.
- Milk frother.
Weak points
- Dispensing nozzles not at all precise.
- Flashes in case of insufficient water reserve but does not block the preparations.
- Aluminum caps.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
