Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
Does Automatico grind fresh from beans for each timed basket request?
Its documented automatic function instead replenishes the ground-coffee chamber. The lever then dispenses a portion. Choose OD if that different direct grinding sequence is required.
Explore this need in the finder →Does the automatic doser satisfy grind-by-weight?
No integrated weighing control is established. Chamber-level refill and mechanical portion adjustment are different mechanisms.
Explore this need in the finder →Does the identified US version hold at leastone kilogram of beans?
Yes. Its exact US catalog entry lists1.2 kg and a 115–120 V/60 Hz rating. Confirm that code and plate on the actual unit.
Explore this need in the finder →Enea Automatico is a professional grinder with an automatically replenished mechanical doser. It makes sense when a station deliberately wants ground coffee ready in a chamber and portions it with a lever. It is a separate model from Enea On Demand, even though both share the Enea name.
Automatic refers to chamber replenishment
The original shared Enea manual explains the automatic-doser branch: grinding stops when the chamber contains sufficient coffee and restarts when its level needs replenishing, while the machine remains enabled.
That is useful for a station organized around a ready dosing chamber. It is not the same as selecting a time and grinding a newly requested basket directly from beans. Decide which sequence you want before treating automatic as a universal convenience label.
The lever portions grounds already in the chamber
The actual dispensing instructions place the filter holder on its bracket and use the distribution lever for a portion. The accompanying adjustment section describes a screw inside the chamber for changing the mechanically delivered amount.
Neither operation establishes an integrated scale controlling the grinder at a live mass target. If the station follows a recipe by grams, check the delivered dose separately. A mechanical adjustment and a chamber-level cut-off answer different questions from grind-by-weight.
The true Automatico has its own specification
The original Casadio USA catalog separately lists ENEA AUTOMATICO, with 64 mm flat burrs, a 1.2 kg bean hopper and a fixed tamper. The selected January2017 product code is different from the OD entry.
The body is194 mm wide,428 mm deep and 510 mm high. In particular, the doser version is deeper than the 368 mm OD reference. Use the actual configuration's dimensions and leave additional room for the lever, handle, hopper access and care.
A regional rating and a professional scope
The identified US catalog branch specifies115–120 V/60 Hz. Check that code and the actual nameplate when examining a used unit. The same family can appear in different regional material; no neighboring machine's rating substitutes for the supplied grinder's plate.
The operating instructions specify professional use by trained staff. A small counter installation does not make it a household-approved appliance. Installation and servicing need the applicable support, and a chamber that holds grounds is another food-contact component in the cleaning routine.
Who should choose this arrangement?
A station with a deliberate plan for chamber replenishment, lever portions and remaining grounds is asking the right questions for Automatico. An owner or used buyer should also assess the individual unit's condition and service history; a surviving catalog proves a model, not its present condition.
If your priority is fresh on-demand basket grinding, saved times or a live weighing stop, compare the corresponding documented mechanism. Automatico is most useful when chosen for its actual two-stage doser sequence, rather than mistaken for another Enea operating mode.
