L'OR Barista Absolu LM9512/60

Both espresso machines are capsule-based and compatible with Nespresso Original capsules, featuring the same power rating of 1450 watts and identical pump pressure of 19 bars, ensuring consistent extraction quality. The primary difference lies in the water container capacity; the Absolu offers a slightly larger 1.2-liter tank compared to the 1.1-liter tank of the Sublime, which may be preferable for those making multiple cups without frequent refills. Neither machine includes a built-in coffee grinder, focusing instead on the convenience of capsules. From a user perspective, the choice between the two models may come down to this minor difference in water capacity and any associated design or price variations, as their core performance attributes are closely matched. Both are suitable for users seeking reliable, straightforward capsule espresso machines with strong pressure for good espresso extraction.
