Espresso machine counter height4/10/2023 ![]() Looking forward to seeing other responses. Is this architect familiar with espresso bar design, or is this their first one? The 6" clearance number makes me wonder if yours is this kind and has the backsplash. It basically slides in like a standard household range, and can be rolled out to clean the sides (or retrieve something that has fallen behind. Our fridge has a stainless steel worktop, so we designed a break in the countertop around it. Also, if you go with 36, you can use stock base cabinets and save some serious $$$. The way we figured, there is a good reason that this 36" height has become the standard in kitchens. We designed our bar ourselves - I figured I had more working experience with an espresso bar than your average architect. You should measure your own kitchen counters and try tamping on them (and a 40" surface) to see if it works for you. I just tried this motion on a 40" surface and, as an average height (5' 10") man, found it to be uncomfortable. Remember that you want your forearm to be straight up and down, in line with your tamper. I would have big concerns about being able to comfortably tamp on a 40" counter. The counter that the espresso machine (and only the espresso machine) is on is 3" higher. Ours is 36", which is standard US kitchen countertop height.
