Review - Jura ENA Micro 1 beans to cup coffee machine

This is a review of the Jura ENA Micro 1. I have had it for two months now. It is the 3rd beans to cup machine I have owned. I had 2 Gaggia machines before this one and in my opinion this is the best coffee machine by far!

[@JamboLinnman]

I’ve had one of these for about 6 years now. Superb machine. Simple to use and great coffee.

[@RussellPlatten]

Agreed Sean! :-)

I cannot resist to comment that we have 7 years experience with Jura. It is Swiss made and it shows it. The quality of material is excellent, super automatic mechanics are awesome and it lasts without any problems. Our first Jura machine was the large one with milk option, expensive one. At first, we thought that it was a really big splurge, but after using it for some time, we agreed that it was worth every penny. We LOVED our Jura. You can compare it to Lexus in cars. Comfort and delight every morning (twice for both of us). We know how a perfect cup of coffee taste and this was it. However, with newly redesigned kitchen, our Jura was taking too much space and we personally didn't use milk option (only for our guests). Jura has an excellent resale value and we sold it well. Immediately, we bought Jura ENA Micro 1. It is just the same high-quality super automatic and we loved it for 4 years already. If you can afford it, you will not regret buying it and will be hooked on Swiss Jura for rest of your life. I highly recommend this product.

good review russell, im looking at a jura, as i have a pod machine, but i dont like the waste that they produce. i want no fuss espresso, and this is on the shortlist.

[@lukasschneider5647]

I have the same coffee machine ;))) love it

[@RussellPlatten]

Yes, it is a great coffee machine isn't it! Thank you for your comment :-)

[@SYScottiey]

Thanks for the video I have been looking at this machine and I've had a test from it I am not sure whether or not I want to go back to buying coffee beans. I currently use Nespresso I get on well with the capsules the recycling system. I bulk at the £150 per year service with no loan machine. Hummm enjoy! Just make sure you buy FairTrade coffee!!

[@628DirtRooster]

Nice review

[@RussellPlatten]

Thank you :-)

[@maswad]

I wonder how the espresso taste compared to portafilter type machines..

[@engchowyeo2522]

Hey, have you had trouble cleaning the insides of the machine? (The area looking into the machine when the drip tray is removed) Also, is the water from your drip tray clear or with some coffee? Thanks!

[@RussellPlatten]

It is not the easiest machine to clean and there is coffee in the tray when I clean it too, :-)

[@engchowyeo2522]

@@RussellPlatten thank you kind Sir

[@icecreamforever]

Top video mate! How would you rate it for long term robustness? Also sounds a bit loud is it? Cheers

[@RussellPlatten]

Scott Buchanan I love this machine Scott. I think it is well made and reckon it will last a long time. Who knows? It is no louder than the other machines I have had. This is my third beans to cup coffee machine, they are all loud! I prefer it to the two Gaggia machines I had before it.

[@maswad]

good review...thanks

[@RussellPlatten]

+Mounir Aswad Thank you Mounir :-)

[@planetX15]

This machine doesn't use milk?

[@RussellPlatten]

planetX15 No, it only makes coffee, you cannot froth milk with it.

[@jeffivan870]

Thanks for your review. I'm looking at getting this machine and purchasing the Breville milk further to make cappuccinos as well. My wife is allergic to milk, so this will allow us to make soy beverages as well. Other than the water filling any other beefs? My concern is internal cleaning of the coffee basket. Cheers!

[@RussellPlatten]

No Jeff, I have no other issues with this machine. It does not have a brew group like other machines, meaning that cleaning is very easy. You only remove the tray, empty the grounds and rinse it all under the tap. Cleaning the internals is very easy too, place a tablet in the ground coffee chute, fill the water and follow the instructions. Far less bother than with my other bean to cup machines. I love it. I have had a Gaggia Syncrony Compact and Gaggia Brera. This is a far better coffee maker. We have also had a Siemens model at work and are presently using a Jura Impressa XS9 Classic which is far superior to the old one too. I hope this helps. Thanks for your comment, Russell.

[@petrockmedia]

How many ounces can you program the buttons on the top? I'm looking to purchase this machine but wondering on the limit to what you can program the machine to dispense. Great review!

[@RussellPlatten]

petrockmedia Hello, the machine has two strength settings 6g and 10g, there are three fully adjustable cup size settings. I enjoy my coffee strong and I drink a large cup, so I have two maximum cup sizes at maximum strength and it fills my cup. It is easy to program the amount of water each of the three buttons dispenses. I love this machine and it is the third one I have had, I had two Gaggia machines before it. I hope this helps.

[@petrockmedia]

Yes this helps a lot! My wife and I are looking to purchase this one, as we already have a great milk frother (breville milk cafe). I was just wanting to know if we can set the amount of ounces that is dispensed out of the 3rd and last coffee option on the machine. Thank you

[@RussellPlatten]

petrockmedia The machine only has two strength options as mentioned above. The three cup buttons are to set the amount of water and these can be set individually as required. I hope this clears up any confusion. You only have two strength settings, 6g or 10g, these are the two buttons above the cup buttons.

[@stacyj.harris4038]

Nice effort...

[@stacyj.harris4038]

Whenever I've heard the word "cheap" attached to any product I, automatically assume that it must belongs to the inferior quality class. Well, this should not be exactly what cheap meant for, in the English dictionary but, affordable that quality and reason-ability both didn't get suffered because of each other. So please avoid this word for the next time. coffeemeplease.com/ has shared very valuable research based stuff with factorization of the class. Just check it out.

[@SKarlsson]

Is the Jura still going strong for you?

[@RussellPlatten]

It is Scott.

[@SKarlsson]

Good to hear as I just bought one ;) Your video helped with my decision.

1 gallon coffee on an espresso machine...

[@lostpants]

I've had this machine for about a year now and use it daily. Highly recommend it, worth the money. I clean it every time it tells me too, but I've noticed some serious build up of grounds and general muck inside the machine. Have you ever pulled the sides off and cleaned it? Do you have it professionally cleaned once a year? I would like to do it myself but I'm a bit nervous pulling it apart. Great review by the way.

[@KillingTheMost]

Does it make espresso?

[@RussellPlatten]

HauskojaVideoita Yes it makes espresso. It has three different size selection buttons, each is individually programmable.

[@KillingTheMost]

Have you had any problems with the machine?

[@RussellPlatten]

HauskojaVideoita No, I love it. It is very simple to use and makes great coffee.

[@KillingTheMost]

Good.
