Barista Touch vs Stilosa: which fits under your cabinets

Barista Touch is 12.5 in (31.8 cm) wide, 12.7 in (32.3 cm) deep and 16 in (40.6 cm) tall (abt.com, 25 September 2026), though Breville (bes880 product page) prints the depth as 12.4 in (31.5 cm); Breville Australia (bes880 product page) prints 12.4 in (31.4 cm), and though Breville (bes880 product page) prints the height as 15.7 in (39.9 cm); Breville Australia (bes880 product page) prints 15.7 in (40 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). Height separates them by more than anything else, 4.8 in (12.1 cm). With 16 in (40.6 cm) [Breville (bes880 product page) prints 15.7 in (39.9 cm); Breville Australia (bes880 product page) prints 15.7 in (40 cm)] of height or more, both fit; between 11.2 in (28.5 cm) and 16 in (40.6 cm) [Breville (bes880 product page) prints 15.7 in (39.9 cm); Breville Australia (bes880 product page) prints 15.7 in (40 cm)] only the Stilosa clears; below 11.2 in (28.5 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 height: the Barista Touch.

Between 11.2 in (28.5 cm) and 16 in (40.6 cm) [Breville (bes880 product page) prints 15.7 in (39.9 cm); Breville Australia (bes880 product page) prints 15.7 in (40 cm)] only the Stilosa Espresso Machine (EC260BK) clears. At 16 in (40.6 cm) [Breville (bes880 product page) prints 15.7 in (39.9 cm); Breville Australia (bes880 product page) prints 15.7 in (40 cm)] or more the height decides nothing, and under 11.2 in (28.5 cm) neither of them fits.
