I've had my ENA8 for about a year now and love it. If it broke, I'd replace it the next day. We've also tried many, many beans and like the Jura 4 bean blend the best.
If I like milk drinks for my espresso, does the jura e8 make better drinks or would it be better to buy the e4 and use a frother to make drinks and save the additional money? Wondering the quality of espresso between the two and is it worth the large price difference
The E8 has a larger capacity brewing chamber ..up to 16g vs the Ena which does only 10. So if you are a larger coffee drinker you would likely want the E8. If you just like espresso and americano and occasional milk beverages you could go with the E4
Using ground coffee, after setting the ground symbol, add the ground, shut the shute. How do I adjust the strength of the coffee ? ..by using the bean symbols or leave it at the ground symbol?
@ecscoffeeinc Is there a Jura machine that brews a shot of espresso with more than 10g? I've had my ENA4 6 mos, love it, but feel that the shot texture is a little on the 'thin' side, even at 3-bean setting. Could this be due to the PEP or small dose size? I am using quality beans in all cases. Thanks!!
Hi there. I just purchased the ENA 4 and am having trouble with pre-ground coffee. I tried making a black coffee a few times and it seems pretty watered down. Any suggestions?
Also wondering if it's easy to switch from beans to ground coffee? Is it just a switch of the buttons or something more involved? We often drink both regular and decaf during the day, which is why the cup/capsule machines have been so convenient for us. Thanks!
Do you find the coffee and espressos strong enough on this machine. I like my coffee drinks really strong and the 10 grams seems a little small. Alternatively do you know when the jura E4 that they have listed on their website might be coming out? It seems like it is this machine but with a 16 gram capacity.
@@ecscoffeeinc For espresso shot 10g is ok? I want to buy this model, but I am a little bit afraid about this smaller (then classic models) brewing unit.
Have you noticed a small pile of grounds on the back of the drip tray when you pull it out to empty it? I just got my Jura 4 a few days ago, and every time I empty the tray, there's a small pile of dry grounds on the cover at the back of the tray. As if some are bypassing the brewing mechanism somehow.
I have a ENA4 - I just wanted decent black quality coffee, on the fly….. It’s good but the timer functionality means it can stay on for you to 4 hours and then turns it’s self off. Once you’ve set a turn off time it’s not clear how to disable the auto turn off. Coffee tastes great. The addition of the ground coffee input is a great feature. It allows you to have your standard Beans in the top and when you fancy something a little different or a high caffeine blast in the morning, you can shovel in some ground coffee and bosh - you’re away. It looks OK, could look better I guess as a machine? It’s pretty noisy but I am being picky I guess. I’d have preferred a proper LCD screen instead of having to decide what 3 beans means on the screen. I managed to get mine during Black Friday for around £500!
Is it normal about very noisy sound when the machine is working? I recently purchase and it is very noisy and making weird sound. I am wondering if it has problem with my jura ena 4
@@ecscoffeeinc right now I’m using ground coffee. I tried to set the machine as described. When button pressed to make espresso, the water started to deplete and no coffee came out.
@@mariavalliades8795 Ensure you are using enough coffee, using an espresso ground coffee in the bypass chute, and putting the ground coffee down the chute after selecting the scoop option in your strength settings pre brew. If this is still not working we would recommend reaching out to Jura!
when using the ground coffee chute, be sure to first hit the ground coffee button, then open the chute, add the grounds, CLOSE THE CHUTE, then hit the coffee button (espresso or longo)!
It does not make an Americano. An Americano is espresso..then hot water added. The coffee function in this machine runs water through the grounds the entire time. It is similar to Americano and may would not know the difference but for the true Americano drinker it is different. Best bet is to get to a local store (ours if you are close by) and give it a taste
I have the ENA4 and making 6 - 7 drinks a day ask me to change the filter every 3 weeks I think that’s too expensive. Happy with the coffee not happy with Jura forcing a subscription kind of a service using a proprietary filter with chip. Breville respects their clients greedy Jura on the other hand not so much
Worst coffee machine we’ve ever had it’s been back to the shop for repair three times and still giving us a problem. This last time it just quit no power coffee brewed is lukewarm a true piece of garbage.

I liked your review 👌
Well done lady!
This will be most probably my first coffee machine
One of the best channels for coffee lovers. Thank you for your work and reviews. Looking forward to buy this Jura ena 4.
Much appreciated!
Thanks for the great review! Helped me in making a decision :)
Besides medium roast, does ECS recommend any brands of specialty coffee for the ENA 4?
what the Hottest temperature for coffee?

If you are using ground coffee you aren't able to adjust the strength unfortunately!

Yes there is! The Jura E4 will grind max 16g per cup :)
?@ecscoffeeinc Thanks! does 16g dose require any special setting for Brew Strength or Grind Setting?
@@sarimento1 Grind size no, but on the E4 if you set the strength to maximum it will grind the 16G :)
@@ecscoffeeinc Thanks!
10 or 16?@@ecscoffeeinc
Hi there. I just purchased the ENA 4 and am having trouble with pre-ground coffee. I tried making a black coffee a few times and it seems pretty watered down. Any suggestions?
Hmm. I own one. One level scoop of coffee in the bypass. Just make sure the grind is espresso grind. If coarse or regular it will be watery.
Also wondering if it's easy to switch from beans to ground coffee? Is it just a switch of the buttons or something more involved? We often drink both regular and decaf during the day, which is why the cup/capsule machines have been so convenient for us. Thanks!
There is a bypass shoot for decaf ground...so very easy, no switching just pressing the buttons on the front past the strength button to the bypass!
@@ecscoffeeinc That's super helpful! Thank you!!

10g is too little.for me for a coffee...for Americano ok. That's the downside to this unit. As for a new one, this is the newest that I am aware of
@@ecscoffeeinc For espresso shot 10g is ok? I want to buy this model, but I am a little bit afraid about this smaller (then classic models) brewing unit.

Is there a comparable machine that does a shot closer to 16g?

That is normal. With grinders and brewing mechanisms it happens on all of them. Like trying to get sand out of your shorts after being at the beach :)
@@ecscoffeeinc thank you!
What's rhe maintenance routine?
Are Jura machines reliable?
Very reliable. The machine tells you what need to be done.
What grinder setting is the best and what's the difference between
Depends.on the bean. I usually leave at factory with no issues
What is the tallest size cup that could fit below?
4 inches easy, 4.5" angled to fit
Is there a version of this with a milk frother?
Jura Ena 8. Costs more thought:)
@@ecscoffeeinc Does the ENA8 grind twice for a double espresso?
Been seeing commenters on other reviews reporting the ENA 4 leaks all over the counter. Has ECS heard this customer feedback? Or is that user error.
We have not heard this from our customers or experienced this on our demo! Hard to say whether it is user error or not but doesn't seem common to us.
What coffee beans you recommend for jura ena 4
Depends where you live as per selection available. Use non oily beans, and look for espresso roasts.

I'm pretty sure one bean is 6 oz two beans is 8 oz and three beans is 10 oz
Excellent video. Where is the machine made in?
These are Swiss made.
@@ecscoffeeinc The company is Swiss, but this machine is made in Portugal.
Is this hard to clean?
Not at all! Very easy!
@@funover40 hey be straight with me is this really worth the money? It's a lot. I mainly do americano
@@tamaputz1639 Jura is always worth the money. Will last a lot longer than most other Superautomatics

What is the tallest height mug that will fit under the spout? Thanks!
75mm to 105mm or max 4.134 inches
This is what i need but will they update it for 2022? It was released in 2019
Doubt it...Jura tends to take more time between updates. Plus, with Covid we have not seen a tonne of new items
The Jura logo isn’t lined out correctly on the machine 😵💫
I don't understand why I cannot get my machine to work.
