Introduction
Welcome to the L'OR Barista world! L'OR Barista is the only capsule coffee
system that allows you to brew two cups of coffee at the same time thanks to
the double spout and the exclusive L’OR Barista double-shot capsules with twice
as much coffee. The L'OR Barista coffee machine is also compatible with the L'OR
Espresso single-shot coffee capsules. Thanks to the Dual Capsule Recognition
technology, the machine automatically recognizes the capsule size and adapts
the volume accordingly. All you need to do is press the button for the type of
coffee you desire.
Capsules and capsule compatibility
The L'OR Barista coffee machine has been designed to work with L’OR Espresso
single-shot capsules and L’OR Barista double-shot capsules, as well as with
Nespresso* capsules and aluminum capsules from coffee brands produced by
Jacobs Douwe Egberts, such as Douwe Egberts, JACOBS, Jacqmotte, Jacques
Vabre, Grand Mère, L'OR, Marcilla, Moccona, Saimaza and Senseo.
*brand of a third party not connected to JACOBS DOUWE EGBERTS and / or
PHILIPS
L’OR aluminum capsules are available online at www.lorespresso.com and in
shops. You can choose from a variety of coffee capsules for different types of
coffee.
Direct start and auto switch-off
The direct start function allows you to brew the coffee you desire with just one
press of a button. After the coffee has been prepared the machine switches off
automatically to save energy.

humming sound. When the machine dispenses water, it produces a less loud
humming sound. This is normal.

Descaling
When to descale
-Descale the machine when the ristretto and lungo button flash quickly a few
times after brewing. The descaling procedure takes up to 40 minutes and
consists of a descaling cycle and a rinsing cycle. Do not interrupt the descaling
procedure.
Why to descale
Descaling is essential for the following reasons:
-It prolongs the life of your L'OR Barista coffee machine
-It ensures maximum cup volume
-It ensures maximum coffee temperature
-The machine produces less sound during brewing
-It prevents malfunctioning
If the descaling procedure is not performed correctly, scale residue remains
behind in the machine. This causes scale to build up more quickly and may cause
permanent and irreparable damage to the machine.
Use the correct descaler
Only citric acid-based descalers are suitable for descaling the L'OR Barista
machine. This type of descaler descales the machine without damaging it. We

19
English
advise you to use the dedicated L'OR Barista liquid descaler (CA6530). It is
available in bottles that contain liquid descaler for two descaling procedures.
You need half a bottle for one descaling procedure and can store the other half
for the next descaling procedure.
Descaling procedure
Note: If something goes wrong during the descaling procedure, e.g. because you
accidentally interrupt the descaling cycle, you have to restart the descaling
procedure from step 1.
1Pour half a bottle of L'OR Barista liquid descaler (CA6530) into the water tank.
2Fill up the water tank with fresh tap water.
3Make sure that there is no capsule in the capsule compartment.
4Close the lever.

20 English
5Place a bowl with a minimum capacity of 1.5 liters on the lower drip tray
under the coffee dispensing spout to collect the descaling solution.
6Press and hold the ristretto and lungo button for 3 seconds at the same time.
The ristretto button starts to flash and the lungo button is steady on
7The machine dispenses the entire descaling solution at regular intervals. This
takes up to 30 minutes.
-When the lungo button start to flash quickly and the ristretto button is on,
the first phase of the descaling cycle has finished
8Remove and empty the bowl. Place the bowl back onto the lower drip tray
under the coffee dispensing spout.
9Remove the water tank and rinse it under the tap. Fill the water tank with
cold tap water and place it back onto the machine.

21
English
10 Press the flashing button to start the flushing cycle. The ristretto button is on
and the lungo button flashes during the flushing phase
Note: The water tank will be emptied without interruption. The flushing cycle
lasts about 3 minutes.
11 When the flushing cycle has finished, the ristretto and lungo button flash a
few times.
Note: It is normal that some water remains behind in the water tank after the
descaling procedure.
The machine switches off. The descaling procedure is finished.
Meaning of light signals
-The selected coffee button flashes slowly: the machine is preparing your
drink.
-The selected coffee button flashes quickly: the water tank is empty, fill the
water tank with tap water.
-The selected coffee button flashes intermittently: The new coffee quantity is
saved and programming is active.
-The ristretto and lungo button flash simultaneously after brewing coffee: you
need to descale the machine.
-All three buttons flash simultaneously: the machine needs to cool down. Wait
approx. 2 minutes before you start brewing a new drink.

the machine immediately when
I press the button.
The machine needs a few seconds to
heat up before it starts brewing.
This is normal.
The brewing time is longer than
before.
The machine is clogging up with
scale.
Descale the machine.

22 English
Problem Possible cause Solution
The temperature of freshly
brewed coffee gradually
decreases.
The machine is clogging up with
scale.
Descale the machine.
The pump makes a lot of noise. There is not enough water in the
water tank.

water. Press the button of the
selected type of coffee again to
continue brewing. When the cup is
full, press the same button again to
stop the brewing process.
The selected coffee button
flashes quickly.
The water tank is empty. Fill the water tank with fresh tap
water. Press the button of the
selected type of coffee again to
continue brewing. When the cup is
full, press the same button again to
stop the brewing process.
I cannot close the capsule
compartment lever completely.
Check if you use the recommended
L'OR capsule. Other capsules may
cause problems during use.
The used capsule drawer is full. Empty the used capsule drawer
and insert the capsule again.
The capsule is not inserted correctly. Insert the capsule again and check
if it is inserted correctly.
The capsule is stuck. Open and close the lever a few
times with moderate force to
remove the capsule.
The lever does not open
completely.
The used capsule drawer is full. Empty the used capsule drawer.
The machine does not dispense
coffee or only dispenses drops
of coffee.
You have not flushed the machine
before first use.
Flush the machine before first use
(see 'Preparing for use').
There is not enough water in the

water.
Scale has built up inside the machine
(see 'Descaling').
Descale the machine (see
'Descaling').

always end up on the bottom of the
cup.
This is normal.

23
English
Problem Possible cause Solution
The coffee flow splits or is not
straight.
The coffee dispensing spout cap is
not placed correctly or it is missing.
Snap the coffee dispensing spout
onto the coffee outlets.
The ristretto and lungo button
lights are flashing after
brewing.
This means it is time to descale the
machine to prevent it from clogging
with scale.
Descale the machine (see
'Descaling').
Why do I find water in the
waste water drawer?
The used capsule drawer and waste
water drawer catch the residual
water released after brewing coffee.
This is normal. Empty the capsule
and waste water drawer frequently
The coffee volume is not what I
expected.
The coffee volume has been
adjusted.
Readjust the coffee volume (see
'Drink personalization: program
your drink volume ') or reset the
coffee volume (see 'Resetting the
drink volume').
My coffee is less warm. When you brew the first cup of the
day or when it has been a while since
your previous cup of coffee, the
inside of the machine is still cold
when you brew coffee.
You can pre-heat the machine and
coffee cup by brewing a cup of
coffee first without placing a
coffee capsule.
If you use a cold, thick-walled cup,
the coffee will cool down
immediately.
Use thin-walled cups, as thin-
walled cups will absorb less heat
from the coffee than thick-walled
cups. Make sure the size of the cup
matches the coffee quantity. Do
not brew a small quantity of coffee
in a large cup.
The machine is clogged with scale. Descale the machine when the
ristretto and lungo button flash
quickly a few times after brewing
(see 'Descaling').
You used cold milk. If you drink coffee with cold, fresh
milk, this will cool down your
coffee. You can prevent this by
preheating the milk.
The machine switches off after
each brewing cycle.
This is the automatic shut-off
function.
To save energy, the machine
switches off automatically after
each brewing cycle.
