A screen instead of a dial, on a counter with nothing behind it. The tray needs its room in front, and that is the line judged here.
Fits any counter at least 19 in (48.1 cm) across and 12.8 in (32.3 cm) front to wall. Figures dated between 6 September and 25 September.
Against your counter
Will this setup fit your counter?
Breville Barista Touch is 12.5 in (31.8 cm) wide, 12.7 in (32.3 cm) deep and 16 in (40.6 cm) tall (abt.com, 25 September 2026), though Breville (bes880 product page) prints the depth as 12.4 in (31.5 cm); Breville Australia (bes880 product page) prints 12.4 in (31.4 cm), and though Breville (bes880 product page) prints the height as 15.7 in (39.9 cm); Breville Australia (bes880 product page) prints 15.7 in (40 cm). Cup clearance is 4 in (10.2 cm) under the spout (seattlecoffeegear.com, 25 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 12.7 in (32.3 cm) front to wall. Everything here assumes the 23.6 in (60 cm) of this station.
One footprint, two jobs
A machine that grinds and brews takes one stretch of counter but needs room above for the hopper and room in front for the tray. Both lines are judged, not one.
Depth is what kills these setups
This station is 23.6 in (60 cm) front to wall. The Barista Touch Espresso Machine is 12.7 in (32.3 cm) deep [Breville (bes880 product page) prints 12.4 in (31.5 cm); Breville Australia (bes880 product page) prints 12.4 in (31.4 cm)], and nobody publishes the room it needs behind it, so the depth line is still open.
Today
The Barista Touch Espresso Machine
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.
Optional
The Knock Box 20 and the 20 oz Latte Art Pitcher, Etched Graduations
It belongs to another way of brewing, or a habit you may not pick up. It is priced and buyable here like everything else on this plan; the setup works fully without it.
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 two 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.

What fits, what to measure before you order, and where each figure comes from.
Will this setup work in your space?
Touchscreen all-in-one on an open counter
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.

The four questions
Space, power, budget, and how sure we are of each.
FitSee the space
Will it fit the counter?
Likely, from published figures: Likely
Yes, based on published measurements. Fits open counter. The weakest figure behind this comes from a retailer listing, not the manufacturer.

Can it run on the outlet?
Needs a check before buying: Needs a check
Careful. Over the continuous limit of a 15A circuit. Every figure behind this is a manufacturer's published dimension, and nobody has put a tape on one. Run the machines one at a time, or use a second 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.
