Room the Barista Pro 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.
We hold 3 of the 11 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 16.1 in (40.9 cm) across and 13.8 in (35.1 cm) front to wall to give it, with 13.1 in (33.3 cm) clear above.
The tank lifts out of the top, so the 13.1 in (33.3 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 is tighter than that. The Bambino Espresso Machine (BES450) is 7.7 in (19.6 cm) shallower, in the same category, and the site holds its width, depth and height figures too.

adjustments that you can make with the grinder itself under where the bean hopper sits
the coarser burr adjustment sits under the hopper, so the hopper comes off to reach it
