Jura ENA 1 Automatic Coffee Machine, 1, Micro Black

br>br>On the plus side, it only produces ground coffee as a waste product, so there are no plastic pods or other contaminants in the environment, and it makes a decent espresso. On the downside, it only likes dry coffee beans; oily ones clog up the mechanism (if you use Pete's Coffee beans - this isn't a problem). You should not use this machine). It doesn't seem to build up much pressure and produces a mediocre espresso. It will randomly flash a variety of lights at you and refuse to work from time to time - In these cases, I've "rebooted" the machine by removing the water tank and various trays, then shaking it. br>br>I had hoped for a much better machine for the money, but I was also concerned about the amount of single-use plastic waste my Illy iperesso machine, combined with my coffee consumption habits, was producing. br>br>I don't believe the coffee brewed by this machine is as good as that brewed by a Nespresso or Illy Iperesso machine, which cost less than a quarter of the price - or even as a freebie when you sign up for the podcasts. But it doesn't produce waste, and I'm not going to buy another one until it breaks; in the meantime, it'll suffice. A solid three stars.

The machine has a lot of ups and downs. It works perfectly one day and then fails to perform pre- and post-flushing the next. The water and coffee are poured into the basket the next day, but nothing comes out of the espresso spout. Then give it another shot; it should work this time. So I went to the Jura website and filled out the product support contact form a few weeks ago. I have not received any communication from them, not even an automated email. I travel a lot for work and never have time to call them, so I expected some kind of online support, if not email, at the very least. br>br>Unfortunately, I adore the espresso that this machine produces (when it is operational)!.

My Jura has been running flawlessly for the past four years. I can't believe I've waited so long to write a review for this product, but better late than never! Originally, this was a huge impulse purchase in the autumn of 2015, when I had just moved into a new apartment because I had recently become single *sigh* (best time for impulse purchases, amiright?). ) and was in desperate need of my own appliances. The other major reason I purchased this machine at the time was because I had just returned from a trip to Switzerland, where every coffee machine was state-of-the-art and always had an amazing taste and beautiful crema. When I returned to the United States, I could no longer stand regular drip coffee, so my then-partner purchased one of the larger Jura models with the milk frother and cup warmer. I was spoiled, but when I moved out on my own a year later, I couldn't afford that kind of machine, so I discovered the Ena Micro 1, which was ideal for my tiny kitchen! Plus, I'd never use the milk frother in the first place, and cup warming is nice but not essential. br>br>Since then, I've only had one major issue with the machine, which occurred after I'd been using it for years and which I was able to resolve by researching online and reading the manual. The problem was that it wasn't grinding enough beans for a cup of coffee, so when the brew came out and my cup looked like dirty water, I was like, "Huh?" " Indeed, when I opened the bottom dispenser, I discovered that it had only ground 1/3 to 1/4 of the amount required for a cup of coffee. Setting the grind control to a coarser grind (I had it all the way on fine for the longest time, which is a bad idea for oily beans) solved the problem, and then I thoroughly cleaned/vacuumed out all leftover old beans/grounds, and it went back to working as usual with no effect on the coffee's taste. br>br>The only feature I wish this machine had is the ability to raise the temperature. My machine is well-liked by those who have used it, but they all have one complaint. They would prefer the coffee to be served hotter. I'd like to see this feature included in a future model of this machine from Jura. Perhaps it's just a sign of the machine's age, or maybe I just prefer my coffee not to burn the hell out of my mouth when I drink it out, but I honestly never noticed this until family members started noticing it in the last year.

The machine, coffee compartment, water tank, making coffee, and emptying the grounds and drip trays are all shown in this short video. br>br>We are huge fans of this machine because we enjoy great coffee but don't make frothy milk drinks. At the touch of a button, this machine makes excellent coffee from scratch, automatically grinding the beans, pumping hot water through them, and dumping the "puck" of coffee grounds into an internal bin. It's a good size for a counter under the cabinets, and it's compact. br>br>We bought this to replace a Jura machine we'd had for ten years that had started to leak and become a little temperamental after thousands of cups of coffee. The ENA-Micro is a miniature ENA. 1 is smaller and less expensive than the older model, but it makes just as good (if not better) coffee.

I've only had good home-brewed espresso. As expected, the build quality is excellent. br>br>I clean the machine when it says it needs to be cleaned, and I appreciate how automated it is. When you turn it on and press a button, the sweet aroma of freshly ground espresso greets you. br>br>I only have one minor quibble (which isn't significant enough to detract from the overall rating). It appears to keep track of how many brews have been made in order to determine when the grounds bin should be emptied. Well, I clean it after turning off the machine so that I can wipe down all of the residue from the final rinse it performs. As a result, it will occasionally indicate that the bin is full and require me to empty it after my first shot in the morning, even though it is clearly not full. It's also set on a small time delay, so you can't just take out the tray and replace it; it'll still ask you to empty it. Inside, I chuckle at the programming, but I wish I could just remove the tray, replace it, and keep brewing. Regardless, it's an excellent machine, and I'm glad I purchased it! My espresso is to die for!.
