From the Manufacturer
The ENA5: A Stylish and Compact Bean-to-Cup Experience
| Jura-Capresso expands its new line of ENA automatic coffee centers with the ENA 5, the first Jura-Capresso model offered in three color choices: Coffee Cherry Red, Ristretto Black, and Blossom White. This stylish compact model offers a true bean-to-cup experience for crema coffee, espresso, cappuccino, latte, ristretto, and more, with more advanced features than any other ENA model. Less than 9-1/2 inches wide, the Swiss-made ENA is the world's slimmest automatic coffee center, with an intelligent space-saving design that ties into today's decor trends. The ENA 5 is first with a unique height-adjustable spout that rotates 180 degrees, giving the user the choice of brewing through a single or dual coffee spout. It is also the only model in the ENA line that comes with two frothing systems: the Dual Frother Plus for traditional frothing by injecting steam into a pitcher of milk, and the frothXpress Plus System, which automatically froths or steams milk into the cup. |
Energy Savings and Easy Brewing
| Not only does the ENA 5 offer the incomparable flavor of high-pressure-brewed crema coffee and espresso-based drinks, it has also been cited for its features for saving energy. Unlike many countertop appliances, the ENA draws no energy whatsoever when the machine is off but still plugged in. The patent-pending Smart Zero Energy Button lets the machine finish any beverage already in progress and then completely disconnects from the electrical outlet. For additional energy savings, the machine can be switched to Energy Save Standby Mode reducing power consumption up to 40 percent. Brewing is easy with the rotary dial with a built-in push button on the top of the machine. Programming the ENA is simple and intuitive, with the text display as a guide. The multi-color clear text display features easy-to-read alphanumeric text. The background is green when the machine is coffee-ready, red when action is required, and yellow in programming mode. Feature-Packed The ENA collection is the first in the Jura-Capresso line to feature a see-through bean chamber visible on top of the machine, romancing the beauty of fresh coffee beans. A built-in five-level conical burr grinder grinds the beans right before brewing for optimal taste. This high-performance grinder can be adjusted for regular or oily beans from fine to coarse simply by turning the chrome adjustment ring while the grinder is running. ENA machines can also brew pre-ground coffee for those who prefer decaffeinated or other specialty coffee blends. Like all Jura-Capresso models, the ENA collection features the patented variable-volume brewing unit, which ideally prepares between 1 and 16 ounces of coffee. Because fresh, pure water is an essential element of great coffee taste, the ENA features the CLEARYL Plus Water Filter that removes impurities and reduces scale deposits in heating elements. This filter prevents disruption of coffee flavor by transforming hard tap water into water that is pH-neutral balanced. "ENA" means "number one" in Greek, for the number one choice for anyone who wants the ultimate in a compact model. | |

Very Good Machine,
By Chris P (Des Plaines, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jura ENA5 Automatic Coffee and Espresso Center, Ristretto Black (Kitchen)
Have had the machine for about 3 weeks now and so far the machine is doing great. Got it refurbished for $599 through JL Hufford (recommended company). To get a $1200 machine (brand new) for $600 (pre-brewed) is a great deal and can't even tell it is previously used.
Very good machine and has several of the bells and whistles that more expensive machines have. Jura Capresso is a very reliable brand and I am very happy with the performance of the machine. Some areas for improvement, but they are very tolerable in the overall scheme of things. Sorry for the long review but wanted to make it as helpful as possible. It took me a lot of research to finally land on this machine. What I like: - Easy to use. - Makes great pressure brewed coffee and good espresso. Espresso won't be as good as a manual machine but still quite good if you use the right settings and quality beans. This is the same for all super automatics. - Has some basic programmability to remember default settings for 1 cup. - Several ways to customize drinks (water output, grinder fineness, amount of coffee for strong, normal or mild). - FrothXpress system is good if making multiple drinks and looks nicer as the default wand on the machine. Although, I prefer the Dual Frother Plus (traditional wand) for making one cup (more control over temp, froth, etc). TIP: make sure to rinse out the Dual Frother Plus and the FrothXpress after EVERY use. Otherwise, milk will cake up and can cause a steam explosion. Poor reviews based on this from others is user error, not the machine. - Auto self rinsing cycle (when turned on and off) and easy to read indicators for filling water, emptying grounds, fill beans, cleaning, etc. - Relatively quiet operation - 1 or 2 spout dispenser - Bypass doser - Tall cup height - Custom Auto off timer (1 hour, 2 hour, etc) to save energy. Zero energy pull when off. - Slim and nice design, quality construction. But still as deep as other machines. Areas for improvement (tolerable drawbacks): - The temperature of drinks is somewhat inconsistent. Second drink always seems hotter, even after doing the right warm up steps. TIP: Make sure to pre warm the cups with hot water dispenser, this helps a lot. - FrothXpress system does not heat the milk quite as good as the normal wand. TIP: If using the FrothXpress, you can do the steam only feature afterwards to heat the frothed/steamed milk a little more. - No cup warmer. Need to use hot water dispenser. Using the hot water will actually make the cups hotter than a warming tray anyway, but it's just an extra step. - Need to adjust cup size during processing and can't before brewing (if different than the programmed amount). - Small water tank (37 oz). Even for a 2 person home and a few shots per day, you will refill often. Not a big deal really. But heavy users may want to take note. - No Auto On feature for the mornings, no clock and no usage stats. Auto on would be great, but only takes a minute to warm up. - Water filters are expensive ($20, recommended every 2 months). I'd only use if you have hard water or you absolutely feel the need to have filtered water or you don't ever want to descale. Cheaper to descale every few months. Although, with the filter you never have to descale (supposedly). - I wish the steam wand had more range of motion.

A huge disappointment,
This review is from: Jura-Capresso ENA5 Automatic Coffee and Espresso Centers (Kitchen)
We switched from a Nespresso machine to the Jura ENA 5 some weeks ago, because we loved the sleek compact design, and felt that the Nespresso system was wasteful.
The Ena 5 has been a huge disappointment in terms of reliability and usability - less so the quality of the espresso. Reliability: after only *19 days*, the machine failed on us. When set to "2 cups" it started to dump the coffee in the internal tray, instead of in the cups. The Jura hotline confirmed that the machine was faulty and should be replaced. However, after receiving the machine and confirming that it was probably a production error, they insisted rather obnoxiously on a repair rather than replacement since the machine was older than 14 days. The arrogance with which Jura treats its customers is typical of businesses that enjoy a strong market position. Usability: due to the extremely small repositories for coffee beans and water, the machine is continuously prompting to be refilled or emptied. The position of the tap switch directly above the tap is unfortunate. Quality of taste: In the short time that the machine was working we experimented with a number of quality beans and ground settings, but felt that the coffee was good, but didn't quite come close to the quality of the Nespresso machine (which was still working after 4 years!). I am also not convinced that the TCO of the Nespresso system is so bad after all, and the customer service was always excellent. I would strongly recommend anyone from purchasing the Jura machine. **Update October 2009** After repair the machine worked for a further 6 weeks before failing again with the same failure mode!! Jura again refused to replace the machine. We received it back again today, and are just waiting for it to break once more. You have been warned!

Great Machine,
By
This review is from: Jura ENA5 Automatic Coffee and Espresso Center, Ristretto Black (Kitchen)
This thing is great. I read reviews and labored over this purchase for weeks because of all of the mixed reviews and the suggestions that none of these things are reliable. It makes great coffee and the milk steamer is too easy. I'm now addicted and can't go back to sleep if I wake up because I'm now like Pavlov's dogs. My mouth waters for a cappuccino as soon as I wake up.
Who knows, maybe this thing will break and I'll be disappointed, but so far, i have only good things to say about this machine. As a maker of complicated mechanical and electrical devices and as the guy who writes the owner's manuals and provides customer service for problems that get escalated, I suspect that many of the complaints are from those who don't read manuals and have no patience for maintenance of any kind. Keep the steamer attachments clean, make sure you dry out your oily beans and use the filter or good water and the results are fabulous. I highly recommend this machine to careful users. If you can't or refuse to give it the attention it deserves, buy a Mr. Coffee or ask for Starbucks gift certificates for Christmas or your birthday. 2115|R2NE93TLIDJELB;2115|RXVEX9E3Q3NET;2115|RY9V0J9MCIC7Y;
