Gaggia Baby D Espresso Machine PROGRAMMABLE FREE S&H

If you’re thinking that the 6 buttons on the Baby D’s control panel look a little familiar, you’re right – they’re the same buttons found on the Gaggia Titanium – and 2 of them are what sets this espresso machine apart from its competitors. Instead of the traditional “press once to start brewing and press again to stop” design, the Baby D features 2 programmable brewing buttons that make brewing a one-touch affair. Just press one of these brewing buttons and when the programmed liquid volume has been dispensed, the Baby D automatically stops the brewing process. Add this capability to the D’s Turbo Frother and its ability to brew with both ground coffee and ESE certified pods, and you have the ultimate in convenience and quality.

Inside the Baby D, you’ll find heavy-duty internal components that are just as impressive as its capabilities. Gaggia not only designed this espresso maker with a high-wattage boiler and a 3-way solenoid valve, but also included a chrome plated brass commercial brew group and 58mm portafilter that make it possible to brew café quality drinks every time.

The Gaggia Baby D comes with 2 stainless steel filter baskets (1 double shot basket and 1 single shot/ESE pod basket), a tamper, and a 7g coffee scoop.

Please Note: The Baby D will arrive with a blue protective sticker over the control panel that can easily be peeled off.

Features & Benefits: Coffee

2 Programmable Brewing Buttons The Gaggia Baby D features 2 brewing buttons, each of which can be programmed to dispense as much coffee as you’d like during a brewing cycle. To reprogram the liquid volume that is dispensed, start by holding down the Menu button until the triangle beneath it begins flashing. Then press the button you’d like to program and when the amount you desire is in your cup, press the same brewing button again and then Menu to exit the programming function. After this, every time you press that button, the reprogrammed amount will be dispensed. The Menu button also allows you to brew manually - just press it once to start brewing and again to stop.

Commercial Size and Style Portafilter Handle Some of the most crucial elements for producing high quality espresso are influenced by the Style, Size and Construction of the portafilter. Style: This portafilter is designed like a commercial machine and works in the same way. The coffee is ground fine and is tamped (pressed) firmly into place. Size: The size of the portafilter is also the same as a commercial machine. Is has a large diameter (58 mm) so that the water is distributed evenly over a wide surface area. Construction: The portafilter is made up of two parts, the handle and the filter holder. The handle is made of high quality plastic. The heavy chrome plated brass filter holder keeps the temperature stable throughout the entire brewing process, therefore producing a quality cup of espresso.

Commercial Brewing Group This is the portion of the machine that the portafilter locks into. It is made of chrome plated marine grade brass, which provides a superior brewing environment through maximum heat stability and component longevity.

3 Way Solenoid Valve The three-way solenoid valve is a commercial feature that relieves the water pressure off the coffee when the brew switch is turned off. This serves two functions; it dries out the coffee to prevent dripping and makes it easy to knock the coffee out of the portafilter with one knock.

Boiler The Gaggia boiler system is very unique. It is designed of highly conductive aluminum with two heating elements. The heating elements are imbedded into the exterior sides of the boiler, providing even heat distribution. Having the highest wattage system available, incorporated into a low volume boiler (3.5 ounces) provides excellent temperature stability and will heat up quicker.

High Quality Controls The Baby D features 6 buttons on its control panel. The first on the left is the On/off switch, followed by the 2 programmable brewing buttons. Then you’ll find the Hot Water button, which allows you to dispense hot water from the Turbo Frother, the Steam button, which heats the machine to steam temperature, and a Menu button that acts as a manual brewing button and allows you to program the other brewing buttons.

Features & Benefits: Frothing and Hot Water

Hot Water Dispenser If you want hot water for any reason, be it Hot Chocolate, Tea or Americanos it is very easy to do. Just turn on the pump (brew) switch and open the steam knob. Hot water will start to stream out.

Improved Turbo Frother Steam Wand The Gaggia Baby D comes equipped with a newly designed Turbo-Frother frothing wand. This design makes great froth every time with no problems.

Features & Benefits: Care, Maintenance & Other

Water Reservoir The removable 48oz reservoir can be refilled from the top any time during the operation, for an endless supply of coffee or steam.

Thermostat and Safety Switches The Gaggia has three temperature controls. There are two thermostats and one high limit. There is one thermostat for maintaining brewing temperature and one for maintaining steaming temperature. The high limit will turn off the power to the boiler in the event of a malfunction. This will prevent the boiler from overheating.

ESE Pod Capable Comes ready to use pods or ground coffee. Use the single shot filter basket with Easy Serve Espresso (ESE) pods. Pods are single serve prepackaged shots that are designed to be quick and clean.
