For the first frustrating week or so, the frothing nozzle flew off almost every time I used the Dual Frother Plus on my ENA5, but it has not happened since I realized that the heat was baking the milk and clogging up the sleeve and tip of the wand. So now I disassemble the frother and soak the parts for 15 minutes in a cup of hot water with a cap of Rinza Urnex Rinza Milk Frother Cleaner 12-MILK6-32 32oz. Bottle. I do this each and every day, and it keeps the frother scrupulously clean and completely trouble-free. Now that I have learned the ropes with the frother, I think I may try the frothXpress system that came standard with my machine, because I have the as-yet-unused Jura Cool Control milk chiller Jura 67083 Cool Control Milk Cooler sitting on the counter. But because of my memories of the hot, splattered milk with the Dual Frother, I may wait a few weeks longer before I try any new tricks.
And the coffee I make, with Illy beans illy Caffe Normale Whole Bean (Red Top) Coffee, 8.8 Ounce Tins (Pack of 2), is delicious. I never had a cup of black coffee in my entire life, not even when I lived in Rome, believe it or not, until I tried making a 1-ounce ristretto with my ENA5. (I bought the machine to make cappuccinos, but I hadn't yet solved the frother problem.) I was shocked at how tasty it was, even from the very first sip. Now, maybe because of the small, 1-ounce sizes that I like, the first cup is not very hot, but the second cup always is. When I forget to turn the dial down to the 1-ounce setting, though, the larger volume of coffee that most of you will opt for will be hot from the very first cup.
The learning curve for the superautomatic was a little longer than I had expected. It looks so easy on the DVD, and it is, but that's only after some practice. I still go back to the instruction manual and video to pick up some subtle points that I might have missed.
Update: I just hooked up the Jura Cool Control milk chiller to the frothXpress steamer, and they both worked to my complete satisfaction. The instructions were easy to understand, and I made a fine cappuccino. As you can tell, I am really happy with my espresso maker, and I hope that you will be too!
Desperate for good coffee December 31, 2008

The Swiss made Ena5 is the low end of high end coffee makers $1,200. As perfectos (coffee snobs) call it,"superautomatics". The Ena5 makes good, rich coffee. Great crema! Nice, frother. It's easy to use. The only drawback, and it's a BIG one is that the coffee isn't as hot as most people would like it. If you linger over your coffee, your out of luck. Short of paying $3,000 plus to get perfection (with NO guarantees) I'll give this Ena5 a fair chance. I absolutely love the slim look. Doesn't take up a lot of space on the counter. Very easy to use & maintain. American coffee machines are super inferior in every way.
Update: I've had the Ena5 for a year & a half and absolutely love it. Can't wait to have my coffee each morning. If it broke tomorrow, I would have to order a new one asap.

This is my first superautomatic machine. I started getting into drinking espresso and cappuccino about 3 years ago and found myself at the coffee shop 3 or 4 times weekly. I do wished the machine would get the water hotter than it does, even at its hottest setting, but can tell a night and day difference in the quality of coffee this machine produces over a Bunn coffee maker.
Great Machine! October 21, 2008

I love that the ENA doesn't take up any counter space. It's small, sleek, very compact, and makes any kind of coffee drink imaginable. I also appreciate its energy-saving features.
Very Good Machine April 8, 2010

Have had the machine for about 3 weeks now and so far the machine is doing great. Got it refurbished for $599 through JL Hufford (recommended company). To get a $1200 machine (brand new) for $600 (pre-brewed) is a great deal and can't even tell it is previously used.
Very good machine and has several of the bells and whistles that more expensive machines have. Jura Capresso is a very reliable brand and I am very happy with the performance of the machine. Some areas for improvement, but they are very tolerable in the overall scheme of things. Sorry for the long review but wanted to make it as helpful as possible. It took me a lot of research to finally land on this machine.
What I like:
- Easy to use.
- Makes great pressure brewed coffee and good espresso. Espresso won't be as good as a manual machine but still quite good if you use the right settings and quality beans. This is the same for all super automatics.
- Has some basic programmability to remember default settings for 1 cup.
- Several ways to customize drinks (water output, grinder fineness, amount of coffee for strong, normal or mild).
- FrothXpress system is good if making multiple drinks and looks nicer as the default wand on the machine. Although, I prefer the Dual Frother Plus (traditional wand) for making one cup (more control over temp, froth, etc). TIP: make sure to rinse out the Dual Frother Plus and the FrothXpress after EVERY use. Otherwise, milk will cake up and can cause a steam explosion. Poor reviews based on this from others is user error, not the machine.
- Auto self rinsing cycle (when turned on and off) and easy to read indicators for filling water, emptying grounds, fill beans, cleaning, etc.
- Relatively quiet operation
- 1 or 2 spout dispenser
- Bypass doser
- Tall cup height
- Custom Auto off timer (1 hour, 2 hour, etc) to save energy. Zero energy pull when off.
- Slim and nice design, quality construction. But still as deep as other machines.
Areas for improvement (tolerable drawbacks):
- The temperature of drinks is somewhat inconsistent. Second drink always seems hotter, even after doing the right warm up steps. TIP: Make sure to pre warm the cups with hot water dispenser, this helps a lot.
- FrothXpress system does not heat the milk quite as good as the normal wand. TIP: If using the FrothXpress, you can do the steam only feature afterwards to heat the frothed/steamed milk a little more.
- No cup warmer. Need to use hot water dispenser. Using the hot water will actually make the cups hotter than a warming tray anyway, but it's just an extra step.
- Need to adjust cup size during processing and can't before brewing (if different than the programmed amount).
- Small water tank (37 oz). Even for a 2 person home and a few shots per day, you will refill often. Not a big deal really. But heavy users may want to take note.
- No Auto On feature for the mornings, no clock and no usage stats. Auto on would be great, but only takes a minute to warm up.
- Water filters are expensive ($20, recommended every 2 months). I'd only use if you have hard water or you absolutely feel the need to have filtered water or you don't ever want to descale. Cheaper to descale every few months. Although, with the filter you never have to descale (supposedly).
- I wish the steam wand had more range of motion.
