The machine stands fine. The water tank is the part that catches people out.

On the figures we have, the Bambino Espresso Machine takes a counter at least 6.3 in (16 cm) wide by 13.8 in (35 cm) deep; the Manual Coffee Grinder V3's width, depth and height are still unpublished, so measure the Manual Coffee Grinder V3 before you buy.

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 check

What would change this

Measuring the 3 missing figures on the Manual Coffee Grinder V3 would let the fit be computed at all.

Depth before width

A tight counter fails front to wall before it fails side to side. That is why the depth line and the water tank are judged here before anything else is.

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.

Today

The Bambino Espresso Machine and the Manual Coffee Grinder V3

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.

A small coffee bar on a wooden kitchen cart by a window: a glass pour-over dripper on a carafe, a hand grinder, a gooseneck kettle, two cups and a folded cloth

One last thing before you order.

The Bambino Espresso Machine fills from the top and this station has 17.7 in (45 cm) above the counter. Whether that is enough is the one figure nobody publishes: measure from the top of the machine to the cabinet before you order. Pull it forward when you refill and you will never think about this again.

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 two here, for one we have the manufacturer's picture; for one none was found. 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.

Before you buy: 4 things to check

The one that decides the most is first, and how to do each is under it.

  1. To do: Measure: Measure

    Measure the depth of the Manual Coffee Grinder V3

    Depth decides whether it sits inside the counter's edge. Without it we cannot say whether the setup fits.

    How: Measure from the very back of the item to the very front, at its deepest point.

  2. To do: Measure: Measure

    Measure the height of the Manual Coffee Grinder V3

    Height decides whether it clears whatever is above the counter. Without it we cannot say whether the setup fits.

    How: Measure from the counter to the highest point, with any lid or hopper closed.

  3. To do: Measure: Measure

    Measure the width of the Manual Coffee Grinder V3

    Width decides whether it sits on the counter at all. Without it we cannot say whether the setup fits.

    How: Measure the widest point, from the left edge to the right edge, in millimetres.

  4. To do: Power: Power

    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.

    How: Put the machine on a circuit of its own, or run the machines one at a time.

  4. To do: Measure: Measure

    Measure the room to lift the water tank out of the Bambino Espresso Machine (BES450)

    If the tank lifts out of the top, you need that much room above the machine, or you will pull the machine out to refill it.

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.
