If there’s one thing I refuse to compromise on, it’s my morning coffee. Not because I’m a coffee snob (I actually only care about the strength), but because I’m simply not a morning person. Getting coffee into my hand quickly and efficiently is crucial if I’m going to be the productive, chirpy human the world expects before 9 a.m. And for those rushed mornings, having a reliable solution to streamline the process is essential — that’s where single-serve coffee makers come in.

Pod-style coffee makers brew one perfect cup in just a few minutes, eliminating the need to prep machines or tinker with strength and flavor settings, as you would with a traditional drip coffee maker. If you’ve been tempted by a fancy Nespresso machine but find the price out of reach, there’s a budget-friendly solution that one of our editors swears by: the L’OR Barista Coffee & Espresso Maker, available on QVC. It delivers the same convenience and quality without the hefty price tag.

What Is the L’OR Barista Coffee & Espresso Maker?

Designed to brew both coffee and espresso, the L’OR Barista Coffee & Espresso Maker is a great addition to any kitchen, especially for those with limited countertop space. Its slim, compact profile tucks seamlessly into small nooks and brews high-quality coffee from capsules in just a matter of minutes. Compatible with L’OR single-shot and double-shot espresso capsules — as well as Nespresso and Keurig pods — this machine recognizes the capsule type and brews it instantly. In other words, you don’t need a Nespresso machine to enjoy its delicious taste!

With six beverage size options, three for each type of pod (coffee or espresso), you can customize your drink to your liking. “For each capsule that I tried, the flavor really came through,” says social media editor Andrea. “Each drink was smooth and had a layer of crema, which is the ‘delicate top layer of luxurious golden foam that enhances flavors and aroma in every cup for a velvet-smooth drinking experience.’ In short, it was good.” The machine comes with 10 Peet’s Coffee Midtown Blend capsules and 10 Ristretto Espresso capsules, making it a sure way to impress any coffee-lover.

“The machine coffee was as I expected. I have the possibility to enjoy my espresso coffee every morning. Sometimes I do espresso woth milk and it is delicious.” —Elda

“Very pleased with my purchase. Espresso is hot and tasty and fast! Great value for the money” —Itsmaxx

“Switched from a Senseo machine. Frequently use a Nespresso machine. The L’OR Barista system is a great alternative. Tried using an expensive auto system and was fraught with problems. Dumped it after a few weeks. The L’OR is quick, easy, quiet and makes a great cup of coffee. The L’OR coffees and espressos are top-quality. Love the convenience and flexibility. I would highly recommend L’OR. Good price/value as well.” —Larry
