The Gaggia Baby is a long standing model from Italy that has gone through several revisions, and is now available in several variants, including the Class, Dose, Basic, and Class D. The Dose (automatic) model is pictured.

Bottom Line: Great value for the money - learn the frothing idiosyncrasies and have fun!
Alan Magill (quality: 6.5) 10.27.2004 Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: Makes a great espresso. As a first espresso machine, the Baby will do a good job of convincing you that you spent your money wisely.
Jesse Robinson (quality: 7.1) 04.09.2004 Rating: 2.8
Bottom Line: Get something designed in the last ten years, at least. Doesn't live up to its reputation.
Brad Franks (quality: 8.0) 11.29.2003 Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Great espresso if you can figure out and live with the simple ideosyncracies, doesn't meet quality for price.
Andrew King (quality: 8.5) 03.27.2003 Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: A superb mid-level machine, excellent espresso, Gaggia-quality, questionable steaming functionality

Product Reviewed: Baby Gaggia
Bottom Line: great styling, 'retro' look, solid construction, low maintenance - but don't waste your money on the current model!

Bottom Line: Light years ahead of anything in $250 range, but not a conversation piece.
