Full details
The L'OR Philips Sublime LM9012/65 is a fully-automatic capsule coffee machine designed for home users who appreciate convenience and variety in their coffee. Its key benefit is the ability to brew two single espressos at once or a double espresso in a single cup using exclusive L'OR Barista double shot capsules, with intelligent dual capsule recognition. A minor caveat is that it is primarily designed for L'OR branded capsules, though it also has Nespresso compatibility.

FAQs
Can I use any brand of capsules?
The machine is primarily designed for L'OR Espresso and L'OR Barista capsules. It is also compatible with Nespresso® capsules. Using other brands not explicitly mentioned may affect performance or void the warranty.
How do I brew a double espresso?
Use an L'OR Barista double shot capsule and place it in the machine. The dual capsule recognition technology will detect it, and you can then press the button for a double espresso or brew two single espressos if desired.
What is the warranty period for this machine?
The L'OR Philips Sublime coffee machine comes with a 2-year warranty period.
How often should I descale the machine?
It is recommended to descale the machine every 3-6 months, depending on your water hardness. The descaling light indicator will notify you when descaling is needed.
Can I use my large travel mug with this machine?
The adjustable drip tray can be removed to accommodate taller cups, up to a maximum height of 10 cm. For mugs larger than this, you may need to brew into a smaller cup first and then transfer.
What are the dimensions of the coffee machine?
The machine measures 157 mm in width, 402 mm in depth, and 276 mm in height.
Does the machine remember my preferred coffee volume?
Yes, you can personalize the coffee volumes from 25 ml to 270 ml, and the machine should retain your last setting for subsequent brews.
Troubleshooting
Machine does not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the power button has been pressed.
No coffee is dispensed.
Verify that the water tank is filled and properly seated. Ensure a capsule is correctly inserted and that no brewing cycle is currently active.
Coffee flow is weak or sputtering.
The machine may require descaling. Check the water tank for sufficient water. Ensure the capsule is not damaged or improperly inserted.
Water leaking from the machine.
Check that the water tank is correctly positioned and not overfilled. Ensure the drip tray is securely in place.
Machine is making unusual noises.
This can sometimes indicate a need for descaling or that air is trapped in the system. Try running a water-only cycle. If the noise persists, consult the manual.
