A coffee corner under a low cabinet: a compact black espresso machine and a small grinder tucked into the corner of a marble counter between dark green cupboards, a jar of beans and one cup

Your counter decides it.

If the counter is tight: the Bambino. If you have the depth: the Oracle Touch.

Between 6.1 in (15.5 cm) and 15.2 in (38.6 cm) only the Bambino Espresso Machine (BES450) clears. At 15.2 in (38.6 cm) or more the depth decides nothing, and under 6.1 in (15.5 cm) neither of them fits. (manufacturer)

We are not picking one. Your counter picks it, and yours is the measurement missing from this page.

Measure from the very back of the item to the very front, including any drip tray or handle.
