Room the Smart Grinder Pro 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 8 figures a fit check asks of this grinder. 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 8.5 in (21.6 cm) across and 6.3 in (16 cm) front to wall to give it, with 15.3 in (38.9 cm) clear above.
Depth is on record at 6.3 in (16 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. (manufacturer)
Choose another if
Your counter is tighter than that. The Virtuoso+ Coffee Grinder (ZCG587) is 3.4 in (8.6 cm) narrower, in the same category, and the site holds its width, depth and height figures too.

unlocking the hopper closes the bottom so you can change out the beans
the hopper shuts off as it unlocks, so beans can be swapped without emptying the grinder through the burrs
