The catch
Jura ENA 4
Neither a milk system nor a hot-water outlet is included.
Side by side
Jura ENA 4 vs E6: E6 means fewer refill trips, with a body footprint roughly 3% larger
Quick verdict
If you only drink black coffee and want no milk system to maintain, the ENA 4 is the right machine. The E6 is for you if you want cappuccinos or fewer bean and water refills. Its body footprint is only about 3% larger, yet it holds much more water and more than twice the beans. What you give up is extra height and milk-system care.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
About 73% more water fits in the E6
Reservoir size goes from 1.1 L to 1.9 L, which gains 0.8 L. Because of rinsing and milk preparation, the extra capacity cannot be turned directly into a drink count.
Where this comes from
(1.9 - 1.1) / 1.1 × 100 = 72.73%, which rounds to 73%.
The catch
Jura E6
After milk drinks, clean the milk hose and spout.

In practice
Differences you will notice
About 73% more water fits in the E6
Reservoir size goes from 1.1 L to 1.9 L, which gains 0.8 L. Because of rinsing and milk preparation, the extra capacity cannot be turned directly into a drink count.
How we worked this out
(1.9 - 1.1) / 1.1 × 100 = 72.73%, which rounds to 73%.
The bean reserve is larger by a factor of 2.24
The E6 hopper takes 280 g where ENA 4’s takes 125 g. A household that keeps one coffee in the hopper could need bean refills substantially less often.
How we worked this out
280 / 125 = 2.24. A hopper's capacity does not recommend storing beans for any particular number of days.
Only about 3% more body footprint
The E6 takes up about 193.6 square inches where ENA 4’s takes 187.3. It also stands 1.1 inches taller, which matters under shelves.
How we worked this out
11 × 17.6 = 193.6 in². 10.7 × 17.5 = 187.25 in². Increase = 3.39%. The height difference is 13.8 - 12.7 = 1.1 inches.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Jura ENA 4 | Jura E6 | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milk and hot water | No milk system or hot-water outlet | Easy Cappuccino milk system and hot-water selection | More drink types come with the E6, along with milk-path cleaning. |
| Water tank | 1.1 L | 1.9 L | Before any rinsing or brewing, the E6 holds 0.8 L more water. |
| Bean container | 125 g | 280 g | Hopper refills come less often on the E6 for equal bean use. |
| Body size, W × D × H | 10.7 × 17.5 × 12.7 inches | 11 × 17.6 × 13.8 inches | Most of the size difference you would notice is in height. Counter area differs less. |
| Specialties | Four black-coffee choices | 11 coffee, milk and hot-water choices | More capability and recipe variations show up in the broader E6 list. |
| Routine milk care | None | Milk hose and spout cleaning after milk use | With ENA 4, buyers who want only coffee skip an entire maintenance path. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Jura ENA 4
- Refilling comes up more often than on larger Jura machines, because of the 1.1 L tank and 125 g hopper.
With Jura E6
- Users are not meant to take out the brew unit routinely.
Decision guide
How to decide
Milk-system complexity is something ENA 4 does away with. E6 gives you much larger reserves with no dramatic increase in counter footprint.
Compact is about more than being the smaller model line
The ENA 4 sounds like the obvious choice for a small counter, yet the published body footprints are close. Height is its more meaningful size advantage, and E6 carries much larger water and bean reserves. With enough overhead room and several coffees a day, E6’s capacity can outweigh the small increase in counter area.
Skipping milk can be the right long-term decision
Without milk drinks in your routine, hardware you would otherwise have to clean or ignore is simply absent on the ENA 4. The simpler menu is deliberate and not an automatic disadvantage. Cappuccino, hot water or larger reserves, if they have a real place in your routine, are what justify the E6’s extra capability. Neither machine needs the longest possible menu to be useful.
Tank math is not a promise of cups
Rinsing takes water on Jura machines as well as drinks, and the coffee volume you choose changes demand. The extra 0.8 L on the E6 is verified storage and does not promise a fixed number of additional cappuccinos. Bean capacity calls for the same caution, because the dose varies with the selected drink and strength.
What this page can’t tell you
- Footprint here means the published body width times depth. Capacities say nothing definite about taste, measured drink yield or real refill intervals.
