how it holds uptwo owners
torque required to put portafilter in place is absurdly too high
an owner reports the portafilter needs unusually high torque to lock in, calling it a possible defect that two months of use did not loosen

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

Your counter decides it.
If the counter is tight: the Bambino Plus. If you have the depth: the Oracle Touch.
Between 7.4 in (18.8 cm) and 15.2 in (38.6 cm) only the Bambino Plus Espresso Machine (BES500) clears. At 15.2 in (38.6 cm) or more the depth decides nothing, and under 7.4 in (18.8 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.
