What espresso machine is good for small apartments with no counter space?

19th Jul 2016

It depends on the type of machine you are looking for. If you are considering a super automatic espresso machine, the Gaggia Anima machines are pretty narrow (8.7 inches), but are rather deep (17 inches). 

Manual lever machines like the La Pavoni Europiccola, La Pavoni Professional and Elektra Micro Casa Lever are quite compact and can be pretty easily stored away if they counter space is needed. 

If you are considering a semiautomatc, Gaggia Classic, Ascaso Dream UP and Rancilio Silvia are popular with people in tight spaces. 

In terms of higher end prosumer semiautomatics, the Quick Mill Carola, all the Lelit machines, and all the Pasquini machines are pretty compact options.
