The original high-end home espresso machine, the Gaggia Baby has been redesigned with new style elements to complement a long list of features. The New Baby can create consistent, great tasting espresso thanks to its commercial-grade components, including a chrome-plated brass brew group and portafilter, high-wattage boiler and built-in Turbo Frother. The newest addition to the Gaggia Baby is its polished stainless steel front panel, adding an extra touch of class to one of Gaggia’s most famous espresso machines.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Pretty Good Bargain
Making my own espressos for about fifteen years. This is my second machine. Using it for close to six years. My model is the same with a slightly different exterior. Buttons in the same space with the knob on top. Also have the Silvia/Rocky Grinder. Each cost close to $350.
If you want to foam milk for most of your espressos this machine will be frustrating because the heater cannot keep up. Although I prefer espresso without milk when I want Lattes I simply microwave to heat and whip with Aerolatte 5 Milk Frother ($16). Friends this whips milk to "wet paint" thickness in seconds. I would never pay hundreds extra for a machine that makes lots of steam for frothing. If I owned one anyway I would still use the Aerolatte. Can you say "ten seconds"? Only thing you have to be careful of is WHIPPING THE MILK TOO MUCH, too thick, and it happens so fast it take practice not too.
Back to the coffee. Gaggia Baby has always worked well for me. Main skill...

Great entry level machine
I think for the money it is hard to beat this machine. I can't help but think that all of the people that are reporting spraying may not be giving this unit a chance. This unit WILL SPRAY if you do not have the right filter in the portafilter. The unit comes with a little plastic piece that fits into the portafilter. This a crema enhancer and if used MUST be used with the filters that have ONE HOLE on the bottom. If you are NOT USING THE PLASTIC PIECE then you need the double shot filter with MULTI holes in the bottom. Great little machine.
Great machine
Truth be told I noticed most reviews about this machine are because they receive broken machines which are not fair at all. This machine is a very good starter machine and the guts of the machine are the exact same as the highly regarded Gaggia Classic. The only difference is the outer shell is a hard plastic where the Classic is all stainless steel. Not much difference in terms of shot quality between the two. if you want to save the money , I highly recommend this machine. It produces just as good of a shot if not better than my friends Breville machines that gets great reviews here on Amazon (not sure of the model number off the top of my head at the moment. I gave it 5 stars to give it a higher overall rating, but I'd truthfully give it 4 stars as I have tasted shots from machines that cost over 1k and produce amazing quality.
