Stilosa vs Silvia: which fits under your cabinets

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). Silvia is 9.3 in (23.5 cm) wide, 11.4 in (29 cm) deep and 13.4 in (34 cm) tall (ranciliogroup.com, 6 September 2026). Height separates them by more than anything else, 2.2 in (5.5 cm). With 13.4 in (34 cm) of height or more, both fit; between 11.2 in (28.5 cm) and 13.4 in (34 cm) only the Stilosa clears; below 11.2 in (28.5 cm) neither does. Every figure behind this is a manufacturer's published dimension, and nobody has put a tape on one.

Six rows we can fill. A comparison table is usually the same length whatever is actually known. This one is as long as the evidence and no longer.

Your counter decides it.

If the counter is tight: the Stilosa. If you have the height: the Silvia.

Between 11.2 in (28.5 cm) and 13.4 in (34 cm) only the Stilosa Espresso Machine (EC260BK) clears. At 13.4 in (34 cm) or more the height decides nothing, and under 11.2 in (28.5 cm) neither of them fits. (manufacturer)

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