Is the Buona Mattina worth it over a De'Longhi or Philips super automatic?

On paper it matches them with a double boiler, grinder and touchscreen. Its low owner rating is the concern; established rivals have better long-term reliability records.

Does it make real espresso or only coffee?

It brews true espresso at 19 bar from freshly ground beans, and the same system makes americano, cappuccino and latte.

How many cups can it make before refilling?

The 1.7 L tank and 12 oz hopper cover a small office morning, but the 2-cup capacity means you brew in short batches.

Is the milk frother a steam wand?

No. It is an integrated frother, which is easier to use but gives softer, less dense foam than a steam wand.

What comes in the box?

The machine, a metal filter, a milk frother connection and a starter guide. Beans and a milk pitcher are not included.

Can it be used commercially?

The maker lists commercial use, but the 2-cup capacity and low owner rating suit a small office rather than a busy cafe.

Our take on the Buona Mattina Super Automatic Espresso Machine

The Buona Mattina is a super automatic espresso machine with a built-in conical grinder, a 1.7 L water tank, a double boiler and a 19 bar pump. It brews espresso, americano, cappuccino and latte from a touchscreen LCD, with a milk frother and an automatic cleaning cycle. Its 2.7 out of 5 rating from 81 owners is low for this class, so treat the feature list with caution. Rivals from De'Longhi, Philips and Jura at the same tier tend to have stronger reliability records and more mature milk systems.

What reviewers say

2.7 / 581 ratings

Owners are split: some like the touchscreen and one-touch milk drinks, but many report breakdowns and weak milk foam. The 2.7 average suggests satisfaction is below what this class of machine usually earns.
