I love the entire Jura product line. I have the E8 and love it.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hey Bruce, Thanks for the comment!

[@lenso010]

Have you compared the taste to barista level manual espresso machines?

[@tomaswolsink7620]

I bought the ena 4 today, in combination with lavazza beans. Coffee is amazing !

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi Tomas, Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the ENA 4! Amazing and convenient!!! Marc

[@nickgibson2558]

I’ve had two Jura coffee machine over the years very convenient for making coffee the water filters have to be purchased from jura ,you cannot buy cheaper generic versions now that work.and the jura are much more expensive .Also I found the coffee eventually had a slightly muddy taste,i followed all the cleaning cycles as per the manual.I think the coffee grinders in the machine lose their edge..The machines are very convenient, but now I own separate components grinder,lever espresso machine etc and make really good coffee every time and have not looked back,if you just want coffee bean to cup is ok but long term it’s better to get a proper individual outfit especially a good grinder which is crucial .

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi Nick, Thanks for your comments. Automatic bean to cup machines are incredibly convenient and produce a consistent quality that's better than what you'll get at mass market cafes. That said, semi-auto espresso with outboard prosumer level grinder and high-end machines does have the potential to make higher quality espresso that's better than what you can get at all but the very best specialty cafes. Of course there's a lot more effort involved along with more knowledge and skill. The majority of automatic machines use ceramic burrs in their grinders which stay sharp for a very long time - like many 100s of kilograms of grinding. Marc

[@joshwiseman6268]

What is the difference between this machine and the A1 Jura? Thanks.

[@mguerramd]

The Claris and Clearyl filters are an ingenious combination of a charcoal water filter and a single use water softener. If you cut one open you will find about 50% water softener resin beads and 50% activated charcoal granules. The resin beads remove the calcium and the charcoal does the chemical and contaminant filtering. They do a fabulous job of preventing calcification scale, as well as cleaning up the water. I stick with Jura machines 100% because of this and have several, you can't go wrong. Occasionally you need to tear them down and overhaul the brew group, install a new membrane pressure regulator, and change out the grinder burrs. There's plenty of videos here on youtube. It's an easy afternoons work, just brew up an espresso or coffee to get you started!

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hey m, Thanks for the comment. Use the filter as recommended and you never have to descale a Jura machine! Marc

[@yourdaddy75]

Does the inside of the ENA 4 have plastic components that make contact with the hot water / coffee? I’m concerned about drinking dissolved plastics, associated with causing cancer.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi s, I understand your concern. There are plastic components which make contact with hot water and coffee. All are certified safe in EU/US.

[@kadalkol]

Can you adjust the espresso volume to make a Ristretto?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi k, The minimum for an espresso and coffee is 0.5 ounces (ristretto) Marc

[@infomercialguy]

Is this the same quality espresso shot as you would find in any other jura machine?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hey Rocky, yes all current Jura machine's use the PEP process when making espresso and similar grinder and dosing. Marc

[@Mudig]

Does this use a steel grinder or ceramic?

[@alexzhu2528]

steel burrs，jura only has ceramic burrs for Giga ranges.

[@knight449]

Is it bad to use oliy beans?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi k, You can generally use beans with some oil spots. But, beans with full coating of oil will be much more likely to cause grinder clogs.

[@damyeuful]

Does the lower gram settings of 6-10gm make a difference as my current Jura 5 makes 5-16gm. Will I be disappointed with the coffee strength?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hey D, Thanks for the question. Jura machines with higher dose weights typically use the higher end of range when selecting 2 coffee beverages be made at the same time. Marc

[@shellderp]

yea its surprising since most of the time you use 15-20g for espresso. This machine can do a "double shot" by pressing the espresso button twice. It just runs the program twice

[@MarkMphonoman]

Hey, Marc. I really like this machine. Mark 👍

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hery Mark, Me too! perfect options for those who don't do milk drinks! Marc

[@infomercialguy]

How long does it take to warm it up? Does it self clean?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hey Rocky, it's ready to go in about a minute from power on. It does a rinse on turn on and shut down. Other cleaning is about 1x month (average usage) add a cleaning tablet and machine does an auto cleaning cycle.

[@infomercialguy]

@@Wholelattelovepage it seems lots of folks think "stamping" the coffee yourself produces a better shot. do you agree??? be honest. and, if so, what machine do you like the most for that job? remember, i only do espresso. no need for milk. i just want a quality shot at a good temperature. can you direct me? THANKS

[@Wholelattelovepage]

@@infomercialguy Hi, by stamping (tamping?) I'm guessing you are referring to a semi-automatic machine with separate grinder? Yes, with that setup potential quality is better. There's a learning curve and not nearly as convenient as the bean to cup machines. There are many options in the semi-auto product range. For espresso only you can range from the Gaggia Classic Pro which does include steaming capabilities: www.wholelattelove.com/products/gaggia-classic-pro It's considered the best value in premium entry-level espresso machines. It's ready to brew in 5-10 minutes from turn on which is about as fast as it gets in semi-automatic machines. Or move up to a compact premium level entry-level E61 group machine with no steaming capabilities like the ECM Puristika: www.wholelattelove.com/products/ecm-puristika-single-boiler-espresso-machine Whatever semi-auto you go with be sure and budget for a quality flat burr grinder and the time to develop the skills to operate properly. Most important is learning the fairly simple process of dialing in grind size - that's key to producing excellent espresso! Marc

[@nonstickspray]

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?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi m, Thanks for the question. What grind size is your pre-ground? It needs to be ground fine. A coarser grind intended for drip coffee will not produce good results - watered down. Look for pre-ground coffee with "espresso" on the label. Marc

[@PaddyP538]

When is the white one coming out?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi PP, We hope to have when available but currently do not have an ETA.

[@sober041978]

Affordable ? Are you serious? Makes good coffee and needs constant attention.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Affordable is relative. The ENA 4 is at the low end of the Jura price range.

[@vinnykeys8146]

Does this make “regular” American coffee or just large espresso flavored coffee. If I want a Dunkin’ Donuts or McDonalds coffee- will this get me close if I buy those beans?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi VK, Thanks for the question. The machine can make a regular coffee. If doing larger cups it's best to set the machine's grind size coarser to avoid over-extracting the coffee and getting bitter flavors. The coffee made will reflect the flavor of the beans.

[@shellderp]

just buy a cheap $100 coffee maker if you want mcdonalds coffee..

[@outdoorzee919]

What happens to the used coffee grounds? Does it clean itself somehow?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hey O, Used coffee cups are deposited to a dreg drawer withing the machine. Marc

[@nikprilutskiy7064]

2 in 1 machine never gives you a better espresso than grinder + cofee machine, but it is needs to taste a cup from the Jura.

[@JustinHEMI05]

Nope, convenience is the tradeoff.

[@cpg8000]

Great machine. I love it.

[@SuperMatrix59]

Marc question my crema wave coffee can I keep the beans in the bag it came in it’s resealable or put them In another container. Thanks great vid.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hey BP, Yes you can keep in the bag. I do like the resealable Crema Wave bags. Marc

[@idavidcrawford]

How does this compare to the newer D4(00)?

[@colindemello]

Great review! What’s the dosage?

[@damyeuful]

So just by preparing 2 cups, instead one 1, I will essentially get the equivalent of about 16-20gms. But there will be a dilutional effect due to the water, right?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hey DG, Thanks for the question. That's correct but no water dilution unless you want it as you can program the amount of water you want used. Marc

[@knightone57]

I like an americano so much more than a coffee.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Me too! My day starts with dos Americanos! Marc

[@theresamachak6960]

Any advice on how to fix water leaking. I used for first time and it leaked… maybe a part is loose or I did something wrong???

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi TM, Hard to know without more information. Any chance the water reservoir was not fully attached or drip tray components were missing? I advise contacting Jura Customer Care directly for assistance if it continues to leak: us.jura.com/en/customer-care

[@fixxer47]

Are you sure it leaks? Ena 4 has a self-cleaning mechanism when you turn it on and off, and it dumps that water directly to the waste water reservoir below. Only minimum water is dumped through the nozzle.

[@theresamachak6960]

Yes, I sent it to Jura customer service - all fixed! Been working well for the last 2 years :)

[@igiveupfine]

looks nice, but if i wanted/needed a standalone milk frother to pair with this, what would be a good choice?

[@timdeboer7400]

Dont get this, it still has the Aroma G3 grinder. I would recommend to get the Jura e6 that has the milk option build in and the better grinder so it makes way better coffee

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi i, Thanks for the comment and question. As @Tim de Boer mentioned go with a machine with built in milk options. Here's a link to the Jura E6 he mentioned www.wholelattelove.com/products/jura-e6-platinum-super-automatic-espresso-machine-with-pep Marc

[@pfa231]

Espresso pull time is 15s, which is waaay too fast. I imagine that espresso is severely underextracted.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hey FP, Thanks for the comment - it's a common one. The thing is the size and geometry of the brewing chamber in automatic machines and the coffee dose amount is quite different than the PF's/filter baskets of semi-autos. The result is a shorter extraction time.

[@pfa231]

​@@Wholelattelovepage I don't have much experience with automatic machines, to be honest. But this June, while on vacation, I had some mid-tier Saeco, and I played with it, trying to get at least half-decent result. Unfortunately, no matter what I did (with decent fresh medium-roast beans), I wasn't able to get anything that I would be able to drink without sugar or milk. I have strong suspicion that it just can't grind fine enough and tries to get to a pressure by means of brew chamber geometry and pressurized valves, but don't know for sure. At any rate, Gaggia Classic + Sette will produce leaps and bounds better coffee at the cost of a bit more space and effort.

[@shellderp]

@@pfa231 yes the cheap machines suck. Jura are much better than other automatics in my experience. Semi automatic espresso is easier to do well at cheaper prices but less convenient

[@catguy64]

If David Lee Roth had a brother.. 😉

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Lol, I mean wasn't he a blonde back in the day? Marc, aka David Lee Froth😉🤘

[@marshallgoldberg8376]

Is is really crema, and not foam?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi MG, Yes it really is crema.

[@Microang]

Who would pay $1000 for an automatic machine that only does coffee? You could get a far better espresso machine and grinder for that money, which would make far better coffee!

[@tombombadilofficial]

*Says the guy who spends tbousands of dollars on music instruments yet makes crap music.*

[@Microang]

@@tombombadilofficial and like a real coffee machine, a decade later those instruments are still useful and worth thousands of dollars, and this type of consumer crap is not... Even this very channel has said time and again that a real "machine" is an investment and will stay with you for years. Expensive consumer crap is just flushing money down the toilet for a small short term convenience... 🤔

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi AP, Thanks for the comment. These machine are about convenience and consistent quality. Can they make what a serious barista can with the right tools? Probably not. But I can say what they produce is generally better than what you'll be served in the vast majority of chain shops at a much lower long term cost and incredible convenience. Marc

[@Microang]

@@Wholelattelovepage you are absolutely right that they are cheaper long term, just like any decent coffee machine, I'm simply saying that for the price you could get a real espresso machine and a grinder which can make better coffee with a little practice, and it can also do milk drinks. For $1000, i find it absurd that this machine has no milk options at all and you would have to pay more for a higher end model. I have never seen an automatic that didn't do milk drinks, but to each their own I guess, I'm sure someone wants this...

[@samuelsaraiva8153]

loveee coffe

[@vvangeus]

Why not just demonstrate the decaf option too? 🙃

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi v, sorry it was not covered in the video. We try to keep lengths reasonable.

[@Isilrrond]

I very like this model of Jura and would like to purchase through WLL but I don’t why you have this model more expensive than the other sellers? 100$ more expensive!

[@workhardforit]

The ENA Micro 1 and A1 were already so great, don’t fix it if it ain’t broke. So many reliability complaints with this one.

[@TheBullishWriter]

But has a CUBAN person approved of this machine? There’s no better espresso than a Cuban one. Everywhere else makes the espresso extremely watered down and weak. I like my Espresso strong and with bold flavor. Until I don’t see an advertisement with a Cuban person approving of a machine, I don’t think the machine is capable of producing GOOD QUALITY espresso.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi TBW, We need to get a Cuban on our tasting panel! Until then espresso quality is a function of bean selection, grind size, strength setting and drink volume.

[@TheBullishWriter]

@@Wholelattelovepage I disagree. Machines have the capability of producing great quality espresso, especially those that pour out good crema. I wasn’t impressed with the crema on this machine based on what I saw, and the color of the espresso was too black and looked watered down. Is the machine using too much water perhaps? I don’t know. And since I have no way of knowing what the drink tasted like that’s why I’m saying a Cuban person needs to approve a machine for me to believe it has the ability to make good espresso. Especially when you’re going to spend a good chunk of change on one you can’t even sample the coffee from ahead of time.
