When the E4 drops

Espresso machines drop hardest around Black Friday and in the weeks before Christmas. Leave your email address and pick below what you want to hear about.

When should we write?
lower

One message per drop. If it falls further after that you hear again; if it sits still, we stay quiet.

The E4 is Jura's entry model: the same burrs and the same brew group as the dearer machines, but no milk system. Espresso, lungo and hot water, and that is all.

That is exactly what makes it interesting. With Jura you are paying mainly for the grinding, and here not for a milk system you have to keep clean. If you drink your coffee black, this is the logical way into Jura.

Who for: Anyone who drinks black coffee and is buying on grind quality.

This is what we know for certain. Dimensions and capacities the manufacturer or the shop does not state are left out rather than estimated. A measurement or a tank volume that is not there is one we do not have.

What does it cost a year to maintain?

A worked example, not a specification: 2 cups a day (730 a year), the intervals from the maker's manual, with the water filter the maker recommends, and the lowest price in our catalog today.

Cleaning tablets · about 4 a year
Not in our catalog
Jura: a cleaning tablet after 180 cups. Jura requires its own tablets, which our catalog does not carry.
Water filter
Not stated
Jura gives the filter capacity in litres (up to 50 litres at 16 to 20 °dH), not in time. How much water a cup and its rinses take, Jura does not say.
Descaler
Not needed
Jura: with the CLARIS Smart+ filter the machine needs no descaling.

We cannot price anything for this machine: what the maker requires is not in our catalog, or the maker gives no interval.

How often you descale depends on your water hardness. Where the maker gives no interval for it, we leave it out rather than estimate it.

Beans, counted separately

6.57 kilos a year at 9 grams a cup: €108.34 with the cheapest kilo in our catalog, €445.45 with the dearest.

Frequently asked about the E4

Is the E4 a bean-to-cup or a portafilter machine?
The E4 is a bean-to-cup machine.
Does the E4 have a built-in grinder?
Yes, the E4 grinds beans itself. You can also use pre-ground coffee if you prefer.
How does the E4 froth milk?
The E4 froths milk: it does not.
How wide is the E4?
The E4 is 28 cm wide. Check the height too if it has to sit under a wall cupboard.
How much water does the E4 hold?
The E4's water tank holds 1.9 litres.
What is the E4's model number?
The model number is EA. Compare on that rather than the name: makers sell near-identically named versions side by side, and the prices differ.

Maintenance

Essential

Descaler

Limescale is what most machines die of, and vinegar attacks the seals. A liquid descaler declared suitable for espresso machines does the same job as the maker’s own branded fluid, usually for less.

CLARIS Smart+ water filter

Jura builds the filter into its maintenance schedule; with one fitted the machine no longer needs descaling at all. That saves work and costs a subscription in filters.

Beans for this machine

Every bean fits every machine. What differs is the order: on a bean-to-cup the 100% arabica beans come first, because dark-roasted blends carrying robusta give off more oil and that clogs a built-in grinder sooner.
