Directions for making espresso with this 1990's model of Gaggia Baby paraphrased from the original instructions booklet:


GETTING THE MACHINE READY

Fill water reservoir with water.
Turn power switch on (power indicator light comes on).
Make sure hot water switch is off, if you hear a noise, the pump is on.
Prime the pump by placing a small frothing pitcher under the steam wand and turn on the
hot water/brew switch. You will hear the sound of the pump.
After a few seconds, a steady stream of water will emerge from the steam nozzle. Allow about
1 cup of water to fill the pitcher.
Shut off the steam/hot water/brew switch.
At this point the Baby Gaggia has been primed.

MAKING ESPRESSO

Follow the above instructions allowing about 6 minutes for the machine to reach proper
operating temperature.
Select the correct filter basket and insert in filter holder.
Small basket is for one cup of espresso, larger is for two.
Insert the filter into the brew head and attach it to the machine for warm up.
After the warm up period remove the filter and fill it with ground espresso.
Gently tamp down the coffee with your tamper.
Do not compress the coffee too firmly.
Clean excess coffee from the rim of the holder.
Insert filter holder into brew head and move handle firmly to the right to lock into position.
Place one or two espresso cups on the drip plate to line up with spouts.
Turn on the hot water/brew switch.
Espresso will begin flowing.
When cups are 3/4 full (20-25 seconds) turn off the brew switch.

FINAL RESULTS

When properly made, the espresso will have a light brown foam on top called crema.
To make more espresso, remove filter and repeat process.
Note that there will be some water dripping from the brew head as filter holder is removed.
