We've listed the three best Jura machines for you, with their advantages and perfect accessories to complete your coffee experience.
☕ Why a Jura without a milk frothing system?
Many people are looking for a Jura machine without a milk function. Why?
- No hassle of cleaning milk hoses and milk residue
- More compact machines for a small countertop
- You prefer to drink it pure: espresso, lungo or americano
- You can add milk or syrup yourself if necessary
✅ 1. Jura A1 – Pure, sleek and simple

The Jura A1 is a dream for the minimalist coffee drinker. This compact fully automatic machine makes only black coffee: espresso or lungo (regular coffee), without any frills.
Benefits of the Jura A1
- AromaG3 coffee grinder for fresh grinding
- Very compact size, perfect for small kitchens
- One button for espresso or coffee, fast and quiet
- No milk function = no cleaning
NB
The A1 doesn't have a hot water function. So you can't automatically make a classic Americano (espresso + hot water), but you can brew a longer coffee. If necessary, add milk using a separate milk frother.
💡 Complete your set:
Enjoy your espresso in stylish Barista Essential coffee cups – the perfect size for your shot.
✅ 2. Jura ENA 4 – Stylish, smart and without milk

The ENA 4 is the modern successor to the A1: still compact and without a milk function, but with just a few more smart options.
Benefits of the Jura ENA 4
- Choice of espresso and 'regular coffee'
- Volume control: choose how much coffee you make
- AromaG3 grinder for optimal grinding
- Compact design in stylish black or white
NB
There's no separate hot water spout, so for a classic Americano, you have to brew espresso and add hot water yourself. With a dedicated milk frother, you can also make cappuccinos and lattes.
💡 Barista tip:
Combine with top-quality coffee beans , specially selected for fully automatic machines.
✅ 3. Jura E4 – For those who take Americano seriously

The Jura E4 is slightly larger than previous models, but offers something the others don't: a separate hot water function. This allows you to make a true Americano : espresso + hot water. Perfect for those who appreciate both flavor and volume.
Benefits of the Jura E4
- Espresso, coffee and hot water can be made separately
- No milk function, so easy maintenance
- AromaG3 grinder + PEP technology (Pulse Extraction) for optimal espresso
- Larger water and bean reservoir
NB
The E4 isn't as compact as the A1 or ENA 4, but it does offer more options for Americano and coffee drinkers. With a separate milk frother, you can also make delicious milk drinks.
