The best Jura coffee machines for espresso and americano – without the milk hassle
Are you looking for a compact Jura coffee machine that makes perfect espressos and americanos, but doesn't have to deal with milk frothers or cleaning programs for milk systems? Then you've come to the right place. In this blog, you'll discover which Jura models are suitable for the true coffee lover who wants to enjoy fresh beans, without milk maintenance.
We list 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 milk function. Why?
- No hassle of cleaning milk hoses and milk residues
- More compact machines for a small countertop
- You prefer to drink it neat: 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 only makes black coffee: espresso or a lungo (regular coffee), without any frills.
Advantages 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 silent
- No milk function = no cleaning
NB
The A1 does not have a hot water function. So you cannot make a classic americano (espresso + hot water) automatically, but you can make a longer coffee. If necessary, add milk with 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.
Advantages 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
No separate hot water outlet, so for a classic americano you have to make espresso and add hot water yourself. With your own 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 a bit bigger than the previous models, but offers something the others can't: a separate hot water function. With that you can make a real americano : espresso + hot water. Perfect for those who love taste 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 is not as compact as the A1 or ENA 4, but it does offer more possibilities for Americano and coffee drinkers. With a separate milk frother you can also make delicious milk drinks.
