Jura ENA 8 vs DeLonghi Dinamica Plus

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

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

Q: How do the grinders compare?

The ENA 8 uses a Steel Conical, whereas the Dinamica Plus 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 ENA 8 uses a Fixed brew group, while the Dinamica Plus 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 8 if you:

Want a stunning 360-degree design for small spaces.

Buy the Dinamica Plus if you:

Want a removable brew group for thorough manual cleaning.
Need app connectivity to customize recipes from the couch.

Critical Maintenance Warning

Don't Ruin Your New Investment
