What is the optimal setting on Ena 3 for espresso (how many ounces)? I like a 3 shot Americano, but results have so far been weaker coffee than I'm used to (i.e., Starbucks). I just bought the Ena last weekend and am trying to figure out how to brew a simple shot of espresso. Once I establish the perfect one-shot, can I get two of them at once by selecting the 2-Cup setting, or will that weaken the product as well? Thanks.

SOURCE: Water no longer comes out of the fill spouts during a rinse.

mine was doing the same thing, I called Jura and they told me to pull out the drawer, set it aside, grab a handful of dry napkins, and reach in, up, and BEHIND the flap that hangs down above the drawer opening and wipe off the metal silver dollar sized disk with the napkins. the disc is smooth chrome with a screw in the middle. Wipe this off with dry napkins, and when you think you got all the "junk" off, wipe it one last time, then make a cup of coffee.... Jura also recommended doing a cleaning with the cleaning tablet after completing the "wiping of the screen" procedure mentioned above.

SOURCE: Weak Coffee

Basing on personal experience (you can find more on Google probably), solutions are:

On percolated (filter) coffee machines:

Check water temp, if water temp is insufficient , most common is scale heating element , faulty element, faulty thermostat.
Check if water is dripping right at the center of the filter, if it is dripping on one side because the orifice is clogged, that can result in weak coffee.
Coffee blend not well distributed on filter basket.

On Espresso machines:

Check water temp, same as filter coffee machines (thermostat element, scale on heating chamber).
Ensure that coffee is filled correctly in the filter cup (fill at level), and well pressed.
Ensure that the coffee mixture that you are using is not too coarse, buy the apposite one for espresso.
Ensure that you are not leaving the machine brewing for a time that is too long, and Italian coffee cup is very small, approximately one regular shot.

On the hob moka pots (espresso, Moka and Bialetti type):

This are the trickiest ones, you need art and practice to get a good espresso with a Moka, but when you learn, the result is better than what you may get with an home electrical espresso maker.
The frame on the hob must be not too strong, and the mixture coarse but well pressed, with water at level tag, or you will get a weak coffee.
On Mokas a good strategy is keeping hob at minimum, and turning up the flame at top when coffee starts coming out.

French and turkish cafetieres:

Ensure that you put enough coffee, water hot enough, and that you left the infusion enough time to get a strong coffee.

Note: insufficient pressure and clogged lines on electric machines never give you a weak coffee, exactly the opposite.
Not pressed mixture always gives weak coffee, but too much pressed mixture may give you coffee with bad taste.

SOURCE: Jura S9 Capresso Machine "Fill System" Message

I think you use too fine grist on the grinder, or the coffeebeans are really dark and moisty. Try to set the grinder to a coarser grist, for dark roasted coffee it`s not recomended to to use any finer than medium grist. However, the sieve in the brewing unit could be clogged, and you need to clean this out. Put a finger up in the brew unit just along the grounds blade, you will probably find a lot of old fine coffeeground up the. Clean it up as best as possible, and then try to make coffee with coarser grist. If this helps, it`s smart to run a cleaning program to be on the safe side.

If nothing of this helps, you don`t have a choice, you have to send it for service, then the brew unit has to be dissasembled and cleaned from the inside.

SOURCE: Jura Impressa E fails to dispense, then gives "open tap" message

I had the same problem, when I called their very helpful customer service, I was given these directions.
Take out the tray.
Inside the machine you can now see a flap hanging from the top.
Reach behind the flap, and you should feel a round object/filter. It has a little dimple sticking out in the middle.
Wipe the filter with a paper towel.
Put the machine back together, and voila you got your coffee brewing again.

SOURCE: My Jura Capresso Impressa E8 is leaking water

I have the same problem with my E9 and I have traced it to the diaphragm unit that is just distal to the pump itself. Apparently, the diaphragm is secured with a steel band (not stainless since it is rusty) that may hold seals or O-rings that break down. You can observe it leaking when pressure applied during brewing. The question is: can a new unit be ordered and if so, where?

Jura ena 3 rotary dial issue

Have you tried completely powering it down, as far as unplugging it from the wall? Sorry if that's stating the obvious, but I'm a computer guy and 9 times out of 10, a 'reboot' fixes the problem.

I have a Faema Due espresso machine and I need to know about the correct use of the red cup symbols over the heads. Can you help please.

Faema Due depending on the model semi or auto has either 6 buttons for auto and any where from 1 to 2 for semi. There are 2 short level cups single and double and 2 long level cups. They are for ristretto or restricted and lungo or long, but if you only use 2 ounce or 3 ounce shots depending on your preference. I usually set all buttons to shop preference because in the US most shops either do 2oz or 3oz espresso shots. The cup with the dots above it is continuous run and ofcourse the stop is... On the semi you have one cup and stop or a push button.

Are there different types of espresso coffee?

The classic form of espresso is a small shot (2-3oz) of pressure brewed coffee made using about 1tblspn of finely ground coffee. There are several ways in which this original format has been altered to come up with various types of espresso coffee drinks. Here is a short list of some of the more popular varieties:

• Americano - espresso with hot water added to dilute the strength

• Macchiato - espresso shot with a small amount of frothed milk on top

• Corretto - espresso mixed with a bit of alcohol

• Cappuccino - a shot of espresso topped with 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 frothed milk

• Mocha - a latte with chocolate powder/chocolate sauce added

Excessive water poured through shot

its possible someone held the buttons down to long enabling program mode.

Go to your local market and purchase a 3 ounce measuring glass. Place it where you place your coffee cup and hold down the small button, it should enable program mode. Stop it once it reaches 1 ounce or your desired amount.

Do the same for the large.

Saeco portafilter instructions

When using ground coffee, use coarser grind like the size of table salt grain. Feel the ground coffee for adjustment. Do not tamp, just level the cup with coffee grounds and lock the portafilter into the group ring. Pull the handle all the way to the right and hold. Turn espresso hot water switch on. Hold the portafilter pulled all the way to the right for 5 seconds (pre-infusion pressure builds up to 9 bars). Release the handle at the end of 5 seconds. Espresso shots should be max. 2-Oz. in the cup. For larger quantity, use two shots. For an Americano, add hot water instead of allowing 8-Oz. water to pump through the coffee grounds.

How much coffee?

Fill it as full as you can with fine ground coffee. I cut the resulting brew with an equal amount of boiling water. Called an "Americano" in Italy.

Weak coffee shots

Need a decent grinder or a deft hand with a blade frinder, fresh espresso coffee beans and not too much water. Espresso grind is closer to turkish than drip. Much like Melitta grind. If needed a good coffee shop will grind it for you. A week suppply is preferable. If quantity of water can be adjusted, one shot is about 1&3/4 oz. a double shot, well x2=3.5 oz. You cannot get a six ounces espresso and still call it that; its dilluted or "allonge". A latte w/o milk. Let me know
