 Not worth the $ August 14, 2010
Justin Guimond (Eagan, MN)
The biggest issue with this machine is that it makes weak espresso. Even on the 'strong' setting, it just doesn't use enough grounds to produce a good strong espresso. Once this weak espresso is combined with milk and/or flavoring syrups, the coffee flavor is all but gone. The water tank is also quite small, so you have to fill it a lot. I don't have any available counter space that doesn't have cupboards above, so every time I had to fill it I had to drag the thing out from underneath the cabinets since the tank is in the way back. This is not an easy task since the machine is heavy and sits on rubber. Lastly, the one-touch rotary button is self-defeating. I imagine they put the one button on there to make it easy to use...but to try and finangle all the menus and settings with one button is needlessly confusing. Lastly, every time you start it up or turn it off, it goes through a rinse cycle, so you had better have a cup nearby to collect the brown water it'll be shooting out! This is mildly annoying and wasn't ever mentioned in the directions. Given the cost, it's just not worth it. I exchanged this machine for a Saeco. The Saeco's tank is on the side, the machine is on rotary wheels so it can easily rotate around, and it can make a dark, strong espresso shot, or a weak one, all with the turn of a dial.
Happy With My Machine June 26, 2010

My husband bought this machine for me about 7 months ago. As many of the other reviewers have said, the wand popped off on a daily basis. I found it very annoying and was to the point of returning it when my husband suggested I call Jura's Customer Service department. I didn't really think the problem could be fixed. It seemed like a design flaw that I'd have to live with if I wanted to keep this machine. I'm glad I called them though because after telling them my problem, they sent me a brand new wand for free. I've used this wand to make at least 2 drinks on a daily basis for the last 6 months and it has never popped off! I'm very happy with the purchase now. The one complaint I do have however is that even though it's set on the highest setting, the espresso comes out a littler weaker than I'd like it. I can live with this and I would definately purchase the machine again!

When I received the machine it failed to execute the start-up procedure. I called customer service to see if I was missing something, but there was indeed a defect. Jura promptly offered to replace it and a new one arrived a couple of days later.
This time all worked perfectly and I was able to enjoy the wonderful coffee the ENA makes. The machine provides enough adjustments to suit one's taste and is pretty straightforward to use. The LCD will display any actions that need to be taken (i.e. low water, low coffee, empty grounds, etc...) so no need to check anything.
Overall, I am very happy with the ENA! The only complaint I would make regards the water tank size. As I use the steamer a lot I usually have to fill it up after something like 8 cups. Not too annoying, but might be important if there are more people using the machine.
Good coffee, minor technical flaws May 2, 2010

Coffee produced is very good, easy to operate, progammable.
Minor problems with the frother, the entire thing flies off sometimes
when you start steaming, with the risk of getting burned by the steam, and of cource
spilling your milk all over the machine.
As it must be removed for cleaning, the socket wears out and eventually the
frother wand does not hold on anymore.
This is the only concern.
 Great coffee, some flaws with the machine April 10, 2010

I've had the jura for 4 months now and previously owned a gaggia automatic expresso machine and have made over 200 lattes so far with the jura. I love the small size of the jura, the coffee is great once you adjust it to suit your tastes. i like the fact that everything is automated and being warned stops me running out of water half way through an expresso like i did with the gaggia. it is easy to clean and is a great machine.
There are two flaws which is why I'm giving this 3 stars. Firstly the milk frothing wand comes lose and when it does sprays milk and stream over nearby surfaces and you. At first this happened rarely and i put it down to me not having the wand seated securely, however after 4 months of making lattes i check before every coffee and the wand will no longer stay on long enough to do enough milk for one latte. this is very annoying and potentially dangerous as steam and hot milk tend to go over your hand. The second problem is the water tank, it is fairly small but is around the back of the machine so if you have the machine on a kitchen surface with a cupboard above it is awkward to get the water tank out and more awkward getting it back in when filled with water.
would i buy one again? not sure have complained to jura and will see if they can fix the problem with the wand. I suspect it is a design flaw since I've seen other people also complain about this. if you are using mainly for lattes like me I wouldn't buy this model.
