Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Gaggia 11202 Baby Espresso Machine, Silver
Customer Review: Good little machine
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had my Baby Gaggia for only a week now, and so I cannot comment on the longevity of the plastic housing/buttons. It's true they are not made of metal, and they might look cheap if you are expecting an all metal machine. I searched for a machine with fine internal workings, simply couldn't afford the higher priced models. Mine came from Whole Latte Love's outlet section, where it on clearance for $349. The Classic Gaggia was $497, as was the Gaggia Baby "D".
As promised, the espresso is delicious, and tastes better than anything I've ever bought at Starbucks or other local espresso bar. This is with medium roast pre-ground Illy coffee. I've been buying espresso at coffee shops for over twenty years, and have consumed it in Rome and Paris and other big cities in Europe, and never thought I could own my own machine. I can honestly say that after a bit of practice, my Baby Gaggia and I am making espresso that compares very well, and that's with Illy pre-ground medium roast coffee. With a good grinder (like the Gaggia MDF) and better water I think it could be even better. It's a good idea to have some decaf (Illy medium roast decaf) on hand, too, so you don't overdo it.
Description of Gaggia 11202 Baby Espresso Machine, Silver
The Gaggia Baby is one of the best espresso machines in its price range. It benefits from having the same brewing components of the Gaggia Classic; which is Consumer Digest's "Best Buy" for a high-end home espresso machine. The housing is made of a tough thermo-set plastic (nearly a 1/4 inch thick). This unit distinguishes itself with the highest wattage system (1425w), one of the strongest pumps available (17.5 bars) and is the only machine at this price point with a "three way solenoid valve". This valve provides the benefit of a drier puck (used coffee grounds) for a cleaner knock (removal of the used coffee grounds). Gaggia is in the process of rolling out a new Turbo-Frother wand replacing the metal frothing wand and sleeve. Includes two stainless steel filter baskets (one and two shot), coffee tamper and 7g measuring scoop.Espresso Machines
