The Philips L’OR Barista Sublime coffee maker goes below €60 at Boulanger.com and Darty.com, a drop of around 24% on the usual price. It is currently one of our best value for money.
Two years after launching its excellent L’OR Barista, Philips is renewing its coffee maker compatible with L’OR and Nespresso capsules. The Barista Sublime therefore takes up the lineage of a very successful first series.

With the Barista Sublime, Philips brings its capsule coffee maker up to date. Always as simple, fast and efficient, this new generation gains in compactness and manufacturing quality. Compatible with L’OR capsules, whatever the format, and those of Nespresso, this versatile machine also has the merit of dispensing two preparations simultaneously. Too bad that the capsules are made of aluminum, which in fact represents a real ecological abyss.

Yes, the Tassimo Suny will prove capable of brightening up the day for lovers of a variety of hot drinks. It offers good quality versatility, is very easy to use, silent and offers great ease of maintenance. There’s not much to fault it as a multidrink machine. On the other hand, the coffee it prepares is not the most popular, we advise espresso lovers to turn to a more specific machine, such as a Nespresso or Malongo model, for example.
