Jura ENA 4 vs Saeco GranAroma

Q: Is the ENA 4 better than the GranAroma?

It depends on your priorities. The Jura ENA 4 excels for users who want ultra-compact design for espresso purists, while the Saeco GranAroma is the better choice if you prioritize quiet operation and a sleek, low profile.

Q: How do the grinders compare?

The ENA 4 uses a Steel Conical, whereas the GranAroma features a Ceramic Flat. 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 ENA 4 uses a Fixed brew group, while the GranAroma uses a Removable 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 ENA 4 if you:

Drink strictly espresso or black coffee.
Need a powerful machine that fits in a tight space.
Prefer a fixed brew group that cleans itself automatically.

Buy the GranAroma if you:

Want CoffeeMaestro to adjust strength and volume easily.
Want a sleek, low-profile machine for modern kitchens.
Need the HygieSteam system to automatically sanitize the milk path.

Expert Verdict

"Choose the ENA 4 if you prioritize ultra-compact design for espresso purists. Pick the GranAroma if quiet operation and a sleek, low profile 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 Jura or Saeco 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.
