The ENA 8 is the smallest machine JURA makes at 10.7 inches wide; the E8 is a full-size machine with a 1.9 litre tank and a 280 g hopper against the ENA's 1.1 litres and 125 g. Same 15 bar pump, same thermoblock, same pulse extraction. You are trading refill frequency for counter space.
$1,695 · Super-automatic
JURA's smallest machine — 10.7 inches wide with 15 specialties, at the cost of a 1.1 litre tank and a 125 g hopper.
$2,600 · Super-automatic
JURA's best-selling model: 17 specialties, the P.A.G.2 grinder, and automatic One-Touch milk-system cleaning.
On the specifications both manufacturers publish, this machine has no clear advantage — the case for it is price and availability rather than hardware.
Rows where the two machines differ are highlighted. A row is only counted as a difference when both manufacturers publish the figure — an em dash against a number is a gap in disclosure, not a win.

Both are advertised at 15 bar, and both actually brew at roughly 9 bar — the advertised figure is the pump's maximum, not the pressure at the coffee.
