Room the Barista Touch 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 11 figures a fit check uses; the other 7 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 12.5 in (31.8 cm) across and 12.7 in (32.3 cm) [Breville (bes880 product page) prints 12.4 in (31.5 cm); Breville Australia (bes880 product page) prints 12.4 in (31.4 cm)] front to wall to give it, with 16 in (40.6 cm) [Breville (bes880 product page) prints 15.7 in (39.9 cm); Breville Australia (bes880 product page) prints 15.7 in (40 cm)] clear above.
Depth is published at 12.7 in (32.3 cm) [Breville (bes880 product page) prints 12.4 in (31.5 cm); Breville Australia (bes880 product page) prints 12.4 in (31.4 cm)], and it is the figure most likely to end this search. Measure the space you have against it before anything else. Measure from the very back of the item to the very front, including any drip tray or handle. (retailer)
Your counter is tighter than that. The Stilosa Espresso Machine (EC260BK) is 4.8 in (12.1 cm) shorter, in the same category, and we have its width, depth and height figures too.
Breville Barista Touch draws 1680 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
Thirteen reports describe the Barista Touch. Five speak to cabinets: two say it slides or sits under them, one that it only just fit, one that it is best with open space above, and one that the hopper comes off when the machine has to go under a cabinet. Reports split on the hopper: it comes off easily with a twist lock and one report swaps it for a single-dose bellows, but beans at the bottom occasionally fail to feed and one report says its replacement unit jams consistently on light roasts. The biggest caution is how it holds up: one report says it stopped brewing a few months after purchase and cleaning did not fix it, and another says it smells of sour milk in crevices that cannot be cleaned, where a misaligned steam wand sprays milky water. The full reports are below, grouped by topic.

Five reports describe the machine under cabinets, three of them from the maker's own review page: one says it slides under standard-height mounted cabinets, another says it sits under the kitchen cabinets on a sliding mat, and the third says it is best with open space above it. Of two Reddit posts, one says the machine only just fit under upper cabinets, and the other says the hopper comes off when it has to go under a cabinet.

Three reports describe the hopper: beans can stack at the bottom and need stirring to feed properly, and the hopper itself releases with a twist lock and can be swapped for an aftermarket single-dose bellows.

One report says the heavy machine has to be pulled out to refill the tank and hopper, which sloshes the drip tray.
pulling out the rather heavy machine resulted in the drip tray sloshing
must pull the machine out to refill tank and hopper, not fill in place

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 size, and where each figure comes from
Breville Barista Touch is 12.5 in (31.8 cm) wide, 12.7 in (32.3 cm) deep and 16 in (40.6 cm) tall (abt.com, 25 September 2026), though Breville (bes880 product page) prints the depth as 12.4 in (31.5 cm); Breville Australia (bes880 product page) prints 12.4 in (31.4 cm), and though Breville (bes880 product page) prints the height as 15.7 in (39.9 cm); Breville Australia (bes880 product page) prints 15.7 in (40 cm). Cup clearance is 4 in (10.2 cm) under the spout (seattlecoffeegear.com, 25 September 2026). The weakest figure behind this comes from a retailer listing, not the manufacturer.
