Your counter decides it.
If the counter is tight: the Silvia. If you have the width: the Oracle Touch.
Between 9.3 in (23.5 cm) and 16.2 in (41.1 cm) only the Silvia Espresso Machine (2024 revision) clears. At 16.2 in (41.1 cm) or more the width decides nothing, and under 9.3 in (23.5 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 the widest point, from the left edge to the right edge, in millimetres.
