How to choose
Grinder and milk system
A built-in grinder and a milk system decide how much work each cup takes. All three picks grind beans in the machine: the Chefman with 30 settings, the Cafe Bueno with a conical burr grinder, and the Philips with an integrated grinder. For milk, the Chefman uses a steam wand, while the Cafe Bueno froths automatically and the Philips uses the LatteGo system. Pick the grinder control and the milk method that match how involved you want to be.
Automatic versus semi-automatic
The Chefman is semi-automatic, so you grind, dose and steam with its controls, while the Cafe Bueno and the Philips are fully automatic and brew at one touch. The Cafe Bueno runs 19 drink options from a 7-inch touch screen, and the Philips runs 12 presets from a color display with 2 saved profiles.
Size, weight and water capacity
Check the weight and the tank before buying. The Chefman weighs 29.5 lb with a 3-liter tank, the Cafe Bueno weighs 26.5 lb with a 64 fl oz tank, and the Philips weighs 17.6 lb with a 1.8-liter tank. The Chefman tank lifts out for refills at the sink, and the Cafe Bueno tank is removable. Match the tank size to how many cups you brew each day.
