Saeco GranAroma vs Jura ENA 4

Q: Is the GranAroma better than the ENA 4?

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

Q: How do the grinders compare?

The GranAroma uses a Ceramic Flat, whereas the ENA 4 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 GranAroma uses a Removable brew group, while the ENA 4 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 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.

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.

Expert Verdict

"Choose the GranAroma if you want one-touch cappuccinos. Pick the ENA 4 if you prefer manually texturing your milk."
