Explanation:
I agree with all of the earlier suggestions, and think Nicole's suggestion of "grind & brew" does the best job of communicating what these machines do. "Fully automatic" seems pretty self-explanatory, and is also correct.

My suggestion is merely to fill our the range of what appear to be a number of possible translations.

(see image of product at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Saeco-S-OG-SG-Super-Automatic-Espresso...

Example sentence(s):
  • Espresso machines fall into three basic categories: Super Automatic, Semi Automatic and Manual. But how do you know which one's right for you?
  • Super Automatic Espresso machines are complete coffee centers that perform the entire espresso making process from grinding the beans to extracting espresso and frothing milk.
