If you don't buy your tickets online, purchase them from the driver before boarding. Avoid buying at the kiosk in the arrivals hall, you will be tied to one particular company and miss out on a possible faster journey on an earlier bus from another company. Tickets are the same price for all three companies. On the way to the airport, tickets can then be bought from a vendor directly at the bus stops near the main station (Piazza Luigi di Savoia).
Other bus companies are Flixbus or Autostradale.

A more frequent connection runs through the centre of Milan, taking the bus to the central train station and changing to the Malpensa Express, which runs every half hour.
