Two products, and a counter we have not seen

Barista Pro vs Stilosa: which fits your counter

Barista Pro is 13.9 in (35.4 cm) wide, 16.1 in (41 cm) deep and 16 in (40.6 cm) tall (birite.com.au, 25 September 2026), though John Lewis prints the depth as 13.5 in (34.3 cm). Stilosa is 8.1 in (20.5 cm) wide, 13.5 in (34.3 cm) deep and 11.2 in (28.5 cm) tall (delonghi.com, 27 September 2026). Width separates them by more than anything else, 5.9 in (14.9 cm). With 13.9 in (35.4 cm) of width or more, both fit; between 8.1 in (20.5 cm) and 13.9 in (35.4 cm) only the Stilosa clears; below 8.1 in (20.5 cm) neither does. The weakest figure behind this comes from a retailer listing, not the manufacturer.

Your counter decides it.

If the counter is tight: the Stilosa. If you have the width: the Barista Pro.

Between 8.1 in (20.5 cm) and 13.9 in (35.4 cm) only the Stilosa Espresso Machine (EC260BK) clears. At 13.9 in (35.4 cm) or more the width decides nothing, and under 8.1 in (20.5 cm) neither of them fits. (retailer)

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