Room the Encore Coffee Grinder asks for around it
Nothing is drawn for a figure nobody states, and the answer above stays at what published figures can carry.
We hold 0 of the 8 figures a fit check asks of this grinder, 3 of them in dispute. Nothing fits on its own, it fits a particular counter, so this page holds the figures and a setup makes the call.
Width is disputed at 5.1 in (13 cm) or 4.7 in (12 cm). On a 17.7 in (45 cm) counter either clears. On a 15 in (38 cm) counter only one does, and we will not tell you which.

the silicone gasket that is placed directly on the burr grinder is bent
a grinder arrived with the gasket that sits under the hopper on the burr carrier out of shape

It fits tightly to the hopper and around the burr carrier
the gasket seals the joint between hopper and burr carrier and lifts away with the hopper

clearance between the hopper and the grinder is needed
the adjustment collar travels vertically, so the hopper cannot seat flush and a gasket fills the gap
