Against your counter
Give us the three numbers and this drawing puts the machine on your own counter.
Room the Bambino Plus Espresso Machine asks for around it
Nothing is drawn for a figure nobody states, and the answer above stays at what published figures can carry.
Makers and retailers publish 4 of the 10 figures a fit check uses, 1 of them with differing published figures; the other 6 you measure on your counter like this:
Nothing fits on its own, it fits a particular counter, so this page holds the figures and a setup makes the call.
Your counter has 7.7 in (19.6 cm) across and 12.6 in (32 cm) front to wall to give it.
Height: published figures differ, 11.8 in (30 cm), 11.9 in (30.2 cm) and 12.2 in (31 cm). It clears any gap of 12.2 in (31 cm) or more; below 11.8 in (30 cm) it doesn't fit; in between, measure against the machine itself.
The tank lifts out of the top, so the machine needs clearance above it that no figure here covers. Measure the space above the counter before you measure the counter.
Your counter is tighter than that. The Bambino Espresso Machine (BES450) is 1.4 in (3.6 cm) narrower, in the same category, and we have its width and depth figures too.
Breville Bambino Plus draws 1560 W at 120 V. Every figure behind this is a manufacturer's published dimension, and nobody has put a tape on one.

What owners say in their own reviews and posts, on the things no maker states: the tank, the hopper, the room around the machine. We quote them; we never use their words as a measurement or a fit answer.
In short
Seven reports describe the Bambino Plus. Three say it fits under cabinets with clearance to spare. One calls it loud enough to be awkward in a shared space at 5am, though quieter than a commercial machine, and another finds it so light that turning the portafilter handle takes a second hand. The biggest caution is how it holds up: one report finds the torque needed to lock in the portafilter absurdly high and calls it a possible defect that two months of use did not loosen, and another says the automatic milk frother sometimes boils and overflows with no clear pattern. The full reports are below, grouped by topic.

Three reports, all from the maker's own review page, say the machine fits under kitchen cabinets: two say there is room to spare, and the third says it fits neatly.

Noise, mess, the first weeks, how it holds up: what owners wrote about the days after the box. Reviews, in their words, counted one by one; none is a measurement and none touches the fit answer.

the Bambino is loud. Not as loud as a commercial espresso machine

One report says the machine is so light that turning the portafilter handle takes a second hand to brace it.
its so light weight that turning the handle requires my other arm
the machine is light enough that the owner braces it with a second hand to turn the portafilter handle
a review on a retailer's site, www.seattlecoffeegear.com · 2020-10-20
Two reports, both from the same retailer page, describe different problems: one says the portafilter needs unusually high torque to lock in, a possible defect that two months of use did not loosen, and the other finds the automatic milk frother inconsistent, sometimes overflowing with no clear pattern.

a review on a retailer's site, www.wholelattelove.com · 2020-07-28
the reviewer compares it against an older Breville Infuser and is not certain whether this is a manufacturing or design issue; this line was not caught by the earlier reads of this page, which recorded no non-fit line here
other times it just boils and overflows
a different owner finds the automatic milk frother inconsistent, sometimes overflowing with no clear pattern

same correction as the report above: the earlier reads of this page recorded no non-fit line
The size, and where each figure comes from
Breville Bambino Plus is 7.7 in (19.6 cm) wide (seattlecoffeegear.com, 25 September 2026), 12.6 in (32 cm) deep (seattlecoffeegear.com, 23 September 2026) and height: published figures differ. Cup clearance is 5 in (12.7 cm) under the spout (seattlecoffeegear.com, 26 September 2026). The weakest figure behind this comes from a retailer listing, not the manufacturer.
Where the published figures differ · none used for fit
Setistry does not use this height for fit. A measurement of the unit is what settles it.
