Replacement machine was working fine this week and now it's not. I'm getting no water flowing through even on a blind shot. It's just pooling up in the portafilter. I pull a blind shot to clean after brewing and again before I brew a new shot. I have begun to really, really hate this machine.

Yes they do, as long as it’s the original line capsules (smaller capsules) and not the vertuo capsules. And thank you for your support of our channel.

Hi Lillian. Happy 50th birthday. We’re so happy to hear that our review was helpful to you and your purchasing process. Smart move on buying the warranty. Even with the potential failures with Breville, we have another one now that we’re using and will review soon, and our good friends just bought one based on our recommendations as well. All with extended warranties of course.

Return it? Idk, probably has something wrong with it.

Right? That's lunacy.

Hi Iryna. I truly appreciate your question and comments. I have found the L’Or to be on par with the original line Nespresso machines with respect to quality of the shots. I really like the versatility of the L’Or with respect to the larger size capsules L’Or offers which can only be used in the L’Or machines. I will also say that if you like milk based drinks (lattes, macchiatos, cappuccinos, etc), then the Nespresso Creatista models by Breville really bring those cafe style options to you from a Nespresso machine. But, if you go with any Breville product, I would purchase an extended warranty. We’ve had issues with more than one unit in the past, though we do tend to use them a lot. I like Breville’s features, but reliability is questionable. But if milk based drinks aren’t that significant, this L’Or machine is very good. L’Or does have a unit that comes with a milk frother as well, but this won’t give you the same cafe quality results as the Creatista units will. Thanks for supporting our channel.

Yes you can.

Yeah you can use nespresso except vertuo capsules. But if I was you I wouldn't because lor capsule tastes really good

Interesting. Seems like many people have had issues, though most people love their machines and they last for years. Our recommendation is to definitely get an extended warranty, such as Best Buy Geek Squad Protection on any Breville unit. Our current daily machine is another Breville unit, which we will review soon as well. And believe me, we got the warranty on it after our experience. Thanks for viewing and supporting our channel. 🙂

I had my machine for 2 weeks and made 2 to 3 drinks a day. These drinks weren't even made back to back. The unit turned off twice so far during the milk steaming process

Based on the user manual, espresso is 40mL, over ice is 30 mL, and Lungo is 110 mL. Thank you for your support of our channel and for your question.

Thank you for the kind words and for reaching out. Our email is [email protected] We look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your comments. I’m glad it was helpful and thank you for viewing and supporting our channel.

Yes

Here is a link to the Amazon listing for the glass mugs. Limited-time deal: JoyJolt Stoiva Double Wall Insulated Coffee Mugs - 11.5 oz Glasses Set with Handle, Ideal for Hot and Cold Drinks - Large Mugs for Coffee, Latte, Cappuccinos, Tea - Stackable, Modern Design - Set of 4 a.co/d/7BDIu9E

You can use any original line Nespresso capsules on the L’Or Barista machine. But for the larger size coffee drinks, I’ve only seen those made by L’Or. I hope this helps and thank you for viewing our channel.

@@sevenminutereviews Ty for your time 👍🏽

Yep, Breville is only exchanging them over and over again. I'd never buy Breville again.

@@JJJettplane I got to admit, the shot quality is a lot better than most machines in its price range. What I did notice is that the error only happens on and off using the auto milk function. If you manually steam the milk (which I prefer) I never had the issue. It’s definitely a sensor issue and needs to be replaced.

@@arisistible1 thanks for the feedback. I love the taste too and am so sad about having to deal with the company. I'll practice at steaming manually but how does one tell what the temp is that way?

@@JJJettplane I usually hold it and place my other hand at the bottom, once it’s starts looking a silky texture and gets to the temperature that your hand feels it’s hot enough, stop it. That would be your baseline, taste the milk and feel the texture. It should be sweet, not sour and texture can be silky or more fluffy if you like the cool foam presentation. If it’s sour, you went too long. But you’ll know trust me, it’ll boil out and spill when it’s too hot lol. But again it’s preference, I always say go with your gut and your friends will like it also. You got this!

@@arisistible1 thanks!!

You know, that’s a very good suggestion. 7 Minute Headless reviews… 🤔

We haven’t had it leak. But if we fill the smaller pitcher too much, because the blades twist onto the pitcher after you fill your ingredients, some liquid may be forced out a little. But again that only happens if we fill it too much and leave no room for the blades. I hope that makes sense.

Agreed

Thank you so much for your kind remarks. We’re so glad to hear that the review was helpful to you. Enjoy your new coffee machine.

i am thinking the exact same, £59 coffee pod purchase with free machine.. bargain

yea breville is the best espresso machine, but this machine is better for nespresso pods

Any updates om your unit?

@@humblenepali I never really liked it. It was very inconsistent and, in my opinion, the digital menu is gimmicky and unnecessary. I also rarely got a good tasting shot. I returned it.

@@humblenepali Tried 3 times to put out my experience but was removed despite total honesty.

Hi thanks for your question. We had it set at 11, and were using freshly roasted beans. They were more or less a medium roast. Some roasts will require a finer grind and some a coarser grind. I believe our machine was defaulted around 15 for the initial setting.

Thank !@@sevenminutereviews

Not sure if I am reading this wrong, but keurig and nestle are now in a long term partnership. So you definitely still are 😩

Yep, 1,500.00 land fill

Hey Bob. You’ve got a great point. I believe I’ve worked with Breville’s support in the past, and if I remember correctly they required me to send in the coffee machine for them to then address and repair or replace based on what they deemed necessary. That would of course leave you without your coffee machine for a week or two. In general, for purchases like this I pretty much always get an extended warranty and in this case I had the Geek Squad protection plan from Best Buy. Their protection plans are sometimes a product repair plan, but often times it’s a product replacement plan. In this case I took the unit into Best Buy, and explained to them what was going on and they offered me a replacement or a gift card for the value of the machine. I took the gift card and bought the De’Longhi La Specialista Prestigio, which we will have a review for soon. At the same time, I’ve read where Breville has replaced a whole unit with a brand new one through their warranty due to a simple part being faulty. So I believe their warranty process is good and they seem to take care of the consumer, but more than likely you’re without the product for some time.

@@sevenminutereviews all they're doing is exchanging over and over and many people are on their 3rd and 4th machine with the same issues!!!
