Machine, grinder, scale, bought in that order, because that is the order they change the cup.

Against your counter
Will this setup fit your counter?
Breville Bambino is 6.3 in (16 cm) wide (target.com, 25 September 2026), 13.8 in (35 cm) deep (birite.com.au, 25 September 2026) and 12 in (30.5 cm) tall (target.com, 25 September 2026), though Bi-Rite Home Appliances prints the height as 12.6 in (32 cm). Cup clearance is 4 in (10.2 cm) under the spout (seattlecoffeegear.com, 26 September 2026). The weakest figure behind this comes from a retailer listing, not the manufacturer.

The full checkCheck this setup against my counter
Your counter
Three numbers, and the whole setup is judged on them.
Your counter is kept in this browser only. No account, nothing sent to Setistry, nothing shared; clear your browser and it is gone.
This would be wrong if
your counter is shallower than 13.8 in (35 cm) front to wall. Everything here assumes the 23.6 in (60 cm) of this station, and the tank lifts out of the top.
The grinder outranks the machine
At this budget the grinder changes the cup more than a second boiler would. That is why it is second on the list and not last, and why the machine is the one thing we would price before anything else.
Depth is what kills these setups
This station is 23.6 in (60 cm) front to wall. The Bambino Espresso Machine is 13.8 in (35 cm) deep, and nobody publishes the room it needs behind it, so the depth line is still open.
The compact 54 mm station
Under a standard cabinet, the same Bambino and Encore ESP pair makes a compact 54 mm station: the Encore ESP doses straight into a 54 mm portafilter cup. Height is the figure to check there, since the Bambino's tank lifts out from the top and Breville does not state how much room that takes. The Bambino Plus can stand in for the Bambino, and the Smart Grinder Pro for the Encore ESP; its cradles take 54 mm portafilters. The Normcore tamper is made for Breville's 54 mm baskets, and the Rattleware pitcher completes the station. None of these change what this setup requires.
Today
The Bambino Espresso Machine and the Encore ESP Grinder
Nothing else in the plan does anything until this is on the counter. It is also the only line we would price to the dollar, and only while a price is still inside our two-day window.
Later
The Bambino Plus Espresso Machine
Long enough to learn what the setup does well, and to notice where it is the limit. Buying it on day one teaches you nothing.
One last thing before you order.
Check the power draw on the 15 A shared kitchen circuit. The draw is over what the circuit carries continuously. A circuit of its own, or running the machines one at a time, changes that.
Why the price disappears tomorrow
We keep the shop, the page and the moment for every price. After two days the number is a story about the past, so we stop telling it and send you to look. Nothing about the machine changed; what changed is how much we are willing to claim.
Where to confirm stock
Stock moves faster than we can watch it; the shop's own page is the truth.
What every picture on this site is
We keep a record of where a factual picture of each machine exists and on what basis it could be used. Of the three here, for three we have the manufacturer's picture. For none of them have we found anything that lets us use that picture, and a picture on a public product page is not a licence. The photographs are rooms we commissioned; where equipment stands in one it stands for the kind of thing that lives on a counter, and it is never the specific model that entry is about. No photograph here is captioned with a product, priced, or offered as a picture of what you would buy. Where no factual picture of a machine is cleared for use, we draw it from the maker's own image and compare the drawing back against that image; the picture beside a product is our own drawing, with the name set in type and no lettering inside it, and the mark on it says so.

Will this setup work in your space?
First espresso setup
Measuring one figure settles whether this setup fits.
The answer depends on your circuit: it is over the limit on a 15 A shared kitchen circuit and inside it on a 20 A shared kitchen circuit.

What this check is judged on
Space is judged against the station's stated width, depth and height, using each product's envelope and whatever operating clearances are published. The check does not see an obstacle inside that gap - a cabinet overhang, a wall bracket, a splashback lip - or anything you keep on the counter that is not part of this setup.
Electrical load is the sum of the products declared here against one circuit profile. It does not see other appliances on the same circuit that this setup does not declare, the condition of your wiring, or a supply outside the regime the circuit names.
Pairings are recorded one by one, and a pairing shows here only once a reviewer has signed it against measured evidence.
