It is bigger than the space between my counter and the cabinet above, so I have to have it on a separate counter off to the side with no cabinet above. It stands 14.3" high, 13.8" long and 7.1 inches wide. It is not huge, but its bigger than the average, run of the mill $10 coffee maker. I would not give up my Bunn for anything.
