Your counter decides it.
If the counter is tight: the Barista Touch. If you have the depth: the Barista Express Impress.
Between 12.6 in (32 cm) and 14.4 in (36.6 cm) only the Barista Touch Espresso Machine (BES880) clears. At 14.4 in (36.6 cm) or more the depth decides nothing, and under 12.6 in (32 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.
