Crew Review: Jura Ena Micro 1 - Gourmet Single Cup Coffee Maker

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

We have done this on Saeco (in our convenience comparison video) and it seems the lungo is a bit richer/stronger ... otherwise they taste very similar. - Kat

I just bought one of these after my Saeco Minuto broke down, I drink black coffee/americano and thought I'd give it a go. I liked the idea of the simplicity (not having to get the brew group out and clean it all the time etc). On the Minuto I'd either run the 'coffee' setting or, when filling my 12oz cup for travel, I'd run two shots and top with hot water, both awesome. I set the ENA 1 'coffee' button to fill my 6oz cup as usual, but so far it's just tasting odd. It's not as nice as the Minuto, it reminds me of when I had a stab at pour-overs and the end result was a little bitter. Crema looks okay, it tastes fine when hot, but when it starts to cool down it's just bitter and looks watery. I always tend to let my drinks get colder and they normally taste better as they cool. Can anyone comment on how the 'coffee' settings between the Minuto and ENA1 compare? At this stage I'm not sure if it's the grind, the beans or just the way the machine makes the coffee. I wonder what pressure the ENA 1 uses for that third button coffee setting? Also because I can't dispense hot water I can't top an espresso shot with hot water to see if that helps. Could it be that it's pouring the extra water through the coffee and that is making it weird? FYI I am using with the water filter. Can anyone shed any light or offer tips? I really want to keep the machine, but need to get my coffee tasting good again :)

I'm personally not a lungo fan, I do love my Cafe Mauro beans though, just got them for my silvia /rocky

It's technically an Americano - Kat

Hi, can i get just hot water from this one? I reckon it if the ENA 9 that has a sprout next to it - but this doesnt, so i am abit unsure.

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

No - not on this model. It's coffee / espresso only. - Kat

[@ChannelHTS]

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

Eeek! OK, next time we'll warn you in advance ;) - Kat

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]
