DeLonghi Dinamica Plus vs Jura ENA 8

Q: Is the Dinamica Plus better than the ENA 8?

It depends on your priorities. The DeLonghi Dinamica Plus excels for users who want the superior micro-foam texture of the LatteCrema system, while the Jura ENA 8 is the better choice if you prioritize stunning 360-degree design for small spaces.

Q: How do the grinders compare?

The Dinamica Plus uses a Steel Conical, whereas the ENA 8 features a Steel Conical. While both are high-quality internal systems, they are sealed components. To prevent clogging and avoid expensive repairs, we strongly recommend using non-oily, medium-roast beans in both machines.

Q: Which machine is easier to clean?

The Dinamica Plus uses a Removable brew group, while the ENA 8 uses a Fixed system. Generally, removable groups (like DeLonghi) allow for manual rinsing under a tap, while fixed groups (like Jura) rely on automated tablet cleaning cycles.

Buy the Dinamica Plus if you:

Prioritize the superior micro-foam of the LatteCrema system.
Want a removable brew group for thorough manual cleaning.
Need app connectivity to customize recipes from the couch.

Buy the ENA 8 if you:

Want a stunning 360-degree design for small spaces.
Want a cafe-style menu with one-touch convenience.
Prefer a fixed brew group that cleans itself automatically.

Expert Verdict

"Choose the Dinamica Plus if you value the superior micro-foam texture of the LatteCrema system. Pick the ENA 8 if stunning 360-degree design for small spaces matters more to you."

Critical Maintenance Warning

Don't Ruin Your New Investment

Regardless of which machine you choose, both rely on internal grinders that are sensitive to oily beans. To keep your DeLonghi or Jura out of the repair shop, stick to these non-oily selections.

The wake-up call. Because it has Robusta beans mixed in, it has way more caffeine than the others. Great for milk drinks, but can be a bit harsh for straight espresso.
