Pros & cons

Jura ENA 4

  • Espresso quality rare at this price thanks to Pulse Extraction Process
  • Tiny footprint fits under cabinets and in small kitchens
  • Dead-simple four-button panel with nothing to configure
  • Automatic rinse cycles keep daily maintenance near zero
  • No milk system at all - espresso and coffee only
  • Small 37 oz tank and 4.4 oz hopper need frequent refills
  • Costs as much as milk-capable competitors like the ENA 8
  • Locked into Jura Claris filters and cleaning tablets

Jura E4

  • Cheapest way into Jura's shot quality and Swiss build
  • No milk system means dramatically less cleaning
  • Eighth-generation brew unit with P.E.P. pulse extraction
  • Compact footprint fits under standard cabinets
  • No milk options at all - not even hot water frothing
  • Still locked into Claris filters and Jura tablets
  • Small 4-button interface, no touchscreen
  • Costs more than milk-capable rivals like the Philips 5400
