Philips L’OR Barista Sublime LM9012/60
Double-shot capsule coffee machine, black
Editorial review Reviewed 20 October 2026 How we assess products
The Philips L’OR Barista Sublime LM9012/60 is the capsule pick for buyers who want more choice than one proprietary coffee range. It accepts L’OR and compatible Nespresso Original-style capsules, plus the larger L’OR double capsules that can fill two espresso cups together. The dual spout is particularly useful for a couple making short coffees at the same time. This flexibility does not extend to Vertuo or Lavazza A Modo Mio capsules, and there is no integrated milk frother. A separate frother adds cost and washing if lattes are the main drink. Choose the L’OR for short black coffees and wider compatible-pod choice; the Vertuo Pop is the simpler long-coffee route, while the Jolie Evo suits someone already happy with Lavazza’s system.
