Review Summary
Manufacturers often tend to make their coffee machines compact and simple to make them more convenient for their customers. However, Jura went one step further and made the Jura ENA Micro 9. Very similar to its sister machine, the Jura ENA Micro 1, the Micro 9 is noticeably small and outstandingly simple to use.
But are these two things enough to get many to fall for this coffee machine? Well, this machine has a few more things to offer, such as a few coffee drinks, a separate milk spout for foam, and some programmable settings. This doesn’t make it ideal for people who want more control over their coffee, but it makes it a nice choice for those who like getting good coffee by pressing a button.
Did You Know?
The Jura ENA Micro 9 is one of the smallest coffee machines out there.
Key Features:
- Intelligent Pre-Brew Aroma System
- Intelligent preheating
- Thermoblock heating system
- Rotary switch
- Six products
- Coffee spouts are separate from the milk spout
- Adjustable coffee spouts
- 37-ounce water reservoir
- 4.5-ounce bean hopper

Pros
Milk-based and coffee-based drinks
One-touch cappuccino option
Intuitive buttons
Numbered machine parts for easier reassembling
Very small
Cons
Doesn’t offer many programmable options
Small bean hopper and water reservoir
No cup warmer
Very Small in Size
As we already mentioned, the Micro 9 has a rather small footprint– a characteristic cherished by many. Even though Jura brought the benefits of small machines to their customers with other models like the Micro 1 and the A1, the Jura Micro 9 truly is the smallest.
The machine was designed to measures 9.06 x 12.72 x 17.52 inches. Therefore, the ENA Micro 9 could be perfect for you if you have many things piled up on your counter, but would still like an espresso machine on it.
However, it’s not only the housing of the machine that is small in size, but its water reservoir and its bean hopper as well. The water tank can take as much as 37 ounces of water, while the hopper has space for 4.5 ounces of coffee beans. Therefore, you should consider buying another coffee machine if you’re a heavy coffee drinker, unless you don’t mind refilling the two containers more often.
Not a Complicated Machine at All
The Jura ENA Micro 9 is simple to operate due to its intuitive control panel and one-touch drink system. This means that you’ll have no problem understanding what every button does, and you’ll have your coffee drink at the touch of a button. This, furthermore, means that you’ll be able to choose and get the drink in your cup fast and almost effortlessly.
This espresso machine also has an easy-to-use rotary switch and a traffic light display. The rotary switch will let you program some settings to a certain extent for a more personalized coffee drink.
When it comes to the traffic light display, it will turn red when the machine is about to take action and yellow when it’s in the programming mode. Furthermore, a green display means that the machine is ready to follow your commands
Which Coffee Drinks Does It Make?
The Jura ENA Micro 9 makes both milk-based coffee drinks and espresso. On this machine, you can make latte macchiato, espresso, café crème, and cappuccino. The machine has a separate coffee and milk system, which means that coffee and milk don’t come through the same spouts.
On this espresso machine, you can also get a serving of hot water which you can use to make some tea or hot chocolate. Furthermore, the hot water serving lets you make Americano as well.
How Much Control Over Your Drinks Does It Let You Have?
Not only can you make different coffee drinks on the Jura ENA Micro 9, but the machine also lets you program them. The machine has a variable brewing unit which allows you to adjust the amount of coffee in your shot, and you can also program the temperature and the amount of water in the drink.
In case you want to have a cup of decaf coffee, the machine has a bypass filter to make this possible for you. You can, furthermore, use larger cups on the ENA Micro 9 since the coffee spouts on this machine are adjustable
Is Cleaning the ENA Micro 9 as Easy as Operating It?
Cleaning this machine is really not that hard, considering all the things that Jura did to make cleaning the ENA Micro 9 easier for you. This coffee maker has integrated rinsing, cleaning, and descaling programs and uses a CLEARYL filter cartridge. You can also adjust the water hardness so that the machine knows when it’s time to descale the brewing system.
The parts of the Jura ENA Micro 9 are numbered, and you’ll be able to easily readjust them once you’re done with the cleaning.
FAQ About the Jura ENA Micro 9
1. Does the Jura ENA Micro 9 come with a milk container?
No, you’ll need to purchase the milk carafe separately. However, you can use a container that you have at home to froth your milk in it.
2. Can I clean the filter on this machine?
No, you can’t clean the filter on the Jura ENA Micro 9, but you’ll need to replace it with a new one when it’s time. The machine will alert you about this.
3. How can I program the pause time between the extraction of the coffee and the extraction of the milk?
To do this, press and hold the center button on the rotary switch until the machine goes into programming mode. Then, find the ‘milk’ option and press the center button again. You’ll be able to program the pause time then.

Thanks for your question!! Coffee cheers!! :)) ☕
Thanks so, so much for the great FAQ, you really answered a lot of the questions I wanted to ask about the espresso machine. Unfortunately, it seems to me like the machine offers way too little for its price… I think it’s worth getting another Jura that costs the same, but offers more. :/
Hey, Sophie!! Thank you too for reading our article!! :)) ☕
Since we already anticipated that this would be the reaction a lot of people would have, we suggested two alternative Jura coffee machines in our article. The Jura ENA Micro 9 might not be the ideal machine for some people, but that’s where the Jura ENA Micro 90 and the Jura E6 could jump in and save the day. Please scroll up to the end of this article to read about these two alternative Jura machines and check them out on Amazon.
Thanks for your comment!! We hope today is a ‘sofa, book, and coffee’ day fore you!! Take care!! :)) ☕
Seems like it has some nice specs, but the price is just too high… maybe someday in the future. Any Jura that’s more affordable to recommend?
-I like latte macchiatos
-I like long coffees
-I like the machine to have a good grinder
@morningcallcoffeestand, thank you
Hi, Liam!! It’s always good to save some money when possible!! :)) ☕
The two alternative Jura coffee machines that we suggested in our article are about the same price as the Jura ENA Micro 9. Now, finding a more affordable Jura coffee machine that can make professional latte macchiatos is going to be hard, unless you don’t mind the automatic temperature at which the milk will be steamed because more affordable Jura machines often have a fine foam frother. Such models include the Jura Impressa C65 and the Jura Impressa C60.
If you, however, want to be able to control the temperature at which you’re steaming the milk, but you still want a more affordable Jura coffee machine, we suggest you replace the frother on the C65 or the C60 with the Professional Fine Foam frother by Jura. This frother will allow you to create both milk foam and have the milk steamed at just the right temperature for a latte macchiato. Please click on the following links to check out the two coffee machines and the frother:

When it comes to the grinders, both the C65 and the C60 have conical burr grinders, but the burr angle of the grinder on the C65 is improved for better grinding.
The coffee spouts on both of the models are height-adjustable (2.6-4.4 inches), so you can have coffee drinks in taller coffee cups.

Take care and don’t give up on that lattee today!! :)) ☕
jura seems to name their espresso machines for example 6 and then 60, 9 and then 90, you know what I mean? so now you gave the 90 as an alternative model, which is a newer version of the 9, are they the same or what’s going on here?
Hi, metalhead!! :)) ☕
Yes, the Jura ENA Micro 90 is a newer version of the Jura ENA Micro 9 coffee machine and you can expect it to be an improved version of the ENA Micro 9. That said, on the ENA Micro 90 is different because of the following things: it lets you vary the coffee strength on 10 levels compared to the ENA Micro 9 which only has 2 coffee strengths to offer; it has improved coffee spouts and an improved hot water spout; makes espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, milk foam as a separate product, and hot water on demand whereas the ENA Micro 9 makes latte macchiato, cappuccino, espresso, café crème, and hot water on demand.
It is up to you to decide which model works best for you. If you more questions about these two Jura coffee machines or something else related to coffee machines, drop a comment and we’ll be happy to respond.
