Features
Introducing the Jura-Capresso ENA4— the world’s slimmest bean-to-cup coffee center. With features such as 18 bars of pressure, a professional-grade conical burr grinder and multiple convenience features, the fully programmable ENA4 allows you to personalize the amount, strength and temperature of your coffee, while the Rotary Dial allows you to temporarily override your preset programming to prepare a special cup, without affecting the permanent settings. At the touch of a button, it grinds, tamps, and brews, making it easier than ever to create your own personal coffee sensations. After you’re done brewing, the machine self-cleans in less than 60 seconds.
Create lattes and cappuccinos with the Dual Frother Plus, or purchase the patented frothXpress system that automatically steams or froths milk into the cup. Use the hot water dispenser for Café Americano or tea.
Handsomely designed in platinum metallic with chrome accents, the ENA4 features the Clearyl water filtration system, which significantly reduces the need for decalcification. Other convenient features include an LCD three-color alphanumeric display, a stainless steel-lined ThermoBlock for quick heating and minimal wait times before initial brewing and steaming, a separate automatic ground coffee funnel, and energy-saving devices. Clearyl water filter and starter pack of cleaning tablets included in box.
Getting acquainted
Composition
The Jura Capresso ENA4 is composed of platinum metallic with chrome accents. The grinder consists of conical steel burrs, with five fineness settings. Measuring 14"x9"x17" (HWL), the machine weighs 20 lbs. The bean hopper holds 7 oz and the removable water tank holds 37 oz.
Programmable
Slim and sleek, the ENA4 features 18 bars of pressure and is fully programmable, with an LCD three-color alphanumeric display. Simply press a button to grind, tamp, brew, and even clean the machine. And you choose the amount, strength and temperature of your coffee. The rotary dial allows you to temporarily override the programming to prepare a special cup.
Heating system
The stainless steel lined ThermoBlock heats quickly, reducing wait times before initial brewing and steaming.
Preground coffee option
The ENA4 has a separate funnel that lets you bypass the grinder and brew ground coffee, such as decaf or specialty ground coffee.
Energy Saver
Save energy with the patent-pending Zero Energy Button and Energy Save Standby mode.
Get ready to brew
First time
First, turn on your machine, and then fill your reservoir. Then add your beans and select your coffee button. Make sure you have a large cup under the spouts. Don’t drink this first cup because it’s going to be weak as it takes a cycle to get the beans into the chamber correctly.
Program your machine
After brewing your first cup you can adjust your grind to your taste and bean type. Or you can bypass grinding altogether by using the funnel. This is for pre-ground coffee-- decaf, or flavored coffees that you bought either pre-ground or ground in a separate grinder. But once you’ve set your programs, all you have to do is hit your cup size and the ENA4 will automatically grind, tamp, pre-infuse and brew your coffee to your liking.
Rotary Dial
The rotary dial allows you to override your presets for special servings. The machine will then default back to the preset settings.
Creating your drink
First set your selector dial-- brewing (1 cup or two cups), hot water, steaming or frothing-- depending on what you want. You can also increase or decrease strength or volume of your coffee.(Choose from 5-15 grams of coffee per serving.) Put your cup (cups) under the spouts and go. Because you’ve pre-programmed everything, that’s all you have to do each time you use your ENA4. It’s that simple. Of course, you can always go back to the programming mode to change or readjust anything you like. But once you’ve set your programs all you have to do is hit your cup size and the ENA4 will automatically grind, tamp, pre-infuse and brew your coffee to your liking. Remember, the rotary dial allows you to temporarily override the the programming to prepare a special cup.
The finishing touches
The ENA4 comes with the Dual Frother plus-- for more control over your frothing. The frothXpress system, which automatically steams and froths milk into the cup, can be purchased separately. To make a cup of tea or a cafe Americano, use the hot water dispenser located on the front of the machine.
Care and maintenance
The machine is self-cleaning and the Clearyl water filtration system significantly reduces the need for decalcification. Automatic cleaning and replenishing programs are indicated in the display for: fill water, fill beans, empty used coffee, tablet cleaning, replace Clearyl filter.
