We hold 3 of the 10 figures a fit check asks of this espresso machine. Nothing fits on its own, it fits a particular counter, so this page holds the figures and a setup makes the call.

You will like it if

Your counter has 9.3 in (23.5 cm) across and 11.4 in (29 cm) front to wall to give it, with 13.4 in (34 cm) clear above.

The one thing to check first

Depth is on record at 11.4 in (29 cm), and it is the figure most likely to end this search. Measure the space you have against it before anything else. Measure from the very back of the item to the very front, including any drip tray or handle. (manufacturer)

Choose another if

Your counter is tighter than that. The Bambino Espresso Machine (BES450) is 5.3 in (13.5 cm) shallower, in the same category, and the site holds its width, depth and height figures too.
