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 Gaggia 12100 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.

Gaggia S.p.A. was founded in 1947, when Achille Gaggia invented the first modern espresso machine. Achille Gaggia’s original design introduced a piston-driven pressure brewing system. This eliminated the use of steam in the extraction process and created the first true espresso, topped with thick rich crema.

Since its invention, the espresso machine has changed dramatically, advancing from traditional lever-controlled piston to today’s semi-automatic and super automatic machines. Today, all Gaggia products continue to be made in the Robecco sul Naviglio factory in Milan, where tradition is combined with great quality and modern technology.

With a longstanding goal to bring cafe quality espresso to consumers, Gaggia began producing espresso machines for the home in 1977. Thanks to the company’s commitment to excellence, Gaggia is still the leading manufacturer of home espresso machines in Italy.

Gaggia has been at the forefront of espresso innovation throughout its history, and the company’s growing success reflects its trademark of unmatched quality and experience. Gaggia’s newest line of home espresso machines. The Gaggia Baby Espresso Machine delivers state of the art performance and aesthetics while remaining true to the company’s long and proud heritage.

Conclusion

I have used other machines including a Rancilio and the Breville that gets great reviews on amazon. I have to say that this espresso machine as well as any other machine has a learning curve that I am still picking up on.

I have found I can make some pretty decent shots with the Gaggia Baby and for the price, it is a good entry level machine.  It has the same guts as the highly regarded Gaggia Classic model.I also really love the Portafilter that it comes with. Nice heave duty stainless steel and the spouts from the side are fun in my opinion.
