The L’OR Barista is a compact yet elegant coffee/espresso maker that uses capsules. L’OR is a French brand (and the word “L’OR” means gold in French). The global brand has been in the U.S. for two years, and Philips is a manufacturing partner for the L’OR Barista.
In addition to the L’OR Barista, L’OR and also makes various types of coffee and espresso capsules. The espresso machine has a luxurious look – it’s matte black, and the company’s name is emblazoned in gold on the front of the machine. Upon closer inspection, the machine is made almost entirely of plastic, which adds to the lightweight feeling of the machine. I’ve had it for well over a year, and it’s held up well, but I don’t know how the plastic components will perform long-term.
