Skinny is in. Skinny jeans, skinny DVD cases, skinny phones, skinny coffee makers. Did we say skinny coffee makers? That’s right, Jura-Capresso’s Ena 5 Automatic Coffee Center is officially the world’s slimmest bean grinder. Easy to tuck away, it won’t take up much space on your counter – just 14” x 9” x 17” to be exact.
Not only does this Swiss masterpiece save space, it saves time. A single-button operation allows you to create a customized drink between five and 16 grams for desired coffee strength. The machine also features a rotating, height-adjustable spout that prepares either one or two cups at a time with a separate funnel for pre-ground coffee.
The multicolor text display couldn’t be easier to follow: green means go and ready to prepare, red means stop, yellow means it’s in programming mode. Ena 5 also sports environmentally friendly technology and changes to a power-save mode with a Zero Energy Switch when not in use.
The espresso machine is made of ABS plastic and stainless steel, and comes with a two-year manufacturer’s warranty. Find yours at William Glen, 2651 El Paseo Lane, Sacramento. 916-485-3000, williamglen.com.
