Jura ENA 4 (Full Metropolitan Black)
Premium super-automatic · Reviewed by Drew · amazon.com live, Sept 28 2026
Why it scored a 76
Swiss-made with Jura's Aroma G3 grinder and P.E.P. Pulse Extraction Process for a stronger shot in a genuinely compact footprint. Quality scores an 85, but value takes the biggest hit on this card — premium-brand pricing for roughly the same one-touch convenience the Philips and De'Longhi machines deliver for hundreds less.

ViperScore breakdown
Should you buy the Jura ENA 4?
The Jura ENA 4 is for the person who drinks black coffee and espresso, wants Swiss build and a small footprint, and has no interest in milk drinks. It's a compact, premium super-automatic with no milk system at all, which is either exactly right or a deal-breaker.
Where it earns its score
- Swiss-made, Aroma G3 grinder. Fast, quiet, durable.
- P.E.P. Pulse Extraction. Jura's pulsed brewing produces stronger, more even espresso and ristretto than most super-automatics.
- Compact. Built for narrow counters.
- Quality 85. The best-built super-automatic here.
What to know first
- No milk. No wand, no frother. If you ever want a cappuccino, this is the wrong machine.
- $1,199. Value 65; you pay for the brand and the build.
- Small 1.1 L tank and 125 g bean hopper. Refills are frequent for a household.
Our verdict
The ENA 4 scores 76, Fair Buy, and it's a niche pick: the best black-coffee super-automatic we scored. For everyone else, the Philips or De'Longhi is more machine for less.

Questions buyers ask
Does the Jura ENA 4 make lattes?
No. The ENA 4 has no milk system. Jura's ENA 8 and other models add one.
Why buy the ENA 4 over a Philips 3200?
Build quality, a quieter grinder, better espresso extraction and a smaller footprint, if you only drink black coffee. The Philips costs half as much and does milk.
How big is the ENA 4's water tank?
1.1 liters, with a 125 g bean container; both are on the small side.
