We hold 3 of the 10 figures a fit check asks of this espresso machine. Nothing fits on its own, it fits a particular counter, so this page holds the figures and a setup makes the call.

You will like it if

Your counter has 11.9 in (30.2 cm) across and 6.1 in (15.5 cm) front to wall to give it, with 13.5 in (34.3 cm) clear above.

The one thing to check first

The tank lifts out of the top, so the 13.5 in (34.3 cm) on record is the height standing still, not the height in use. Measure the clearance above the counter, not just the counter. (manufacturer)

Choose another if

Your counter has more room than this one asks for. The Bambino Plus Espresso Machine (BES500) is 1.3 in (3.3 cm) larger front to wall, in the same category, and the site holds its width, depth and height figures too.
