The company was set up in 1947 by Achille Gaggia, the man to whom we are indebted for the success of espresso coffee all over the world. It was he who on 5 September 1938 filed patent no. 365726 with which modern steam-free coffee machines may be said to have been born. In 1977 Gaggia began producing coffee machines for the home, launching the Baby Gaggia, which to this day is considered to be the ideal family coffee maker. The designs and technological advances have changed the way the machines look and work but the objectives of quality, reliability and the passion for the right espresso every time has remained throughout Gaggia's history and this is what makes Gaggia legendary.The Gaggia Baby Twin is the greatest member of the Baby family of quality espresso coffee makers for the home. The Gaggia baby twin features an electronic touch ring to precisely control the operation of the coffee maker. The Gaggia Twin features a double water heating system which eliminates any waiting for steam in order to froth your own milk for cappuccinos and lattes using the special milk steamer/frother. The machine is built with superb quality and with the twin boilers makes it the ultimate in traditional pump espresso makers. The machine takes both ground coffee and pods.

However, after giving the Baby Twin a test drive I swapped it for a Baby Class D and was much happier. The problem with the Baby Twin is that it does not have 2 boilers; it uses a heating element between the boiler and the steamer to create steam 'instantly'. In reality this is NOT the case. When you open the steam valve water will come out until the element has reached optimum temperature. This means not only do you have to wait between 10-15 secs for steam but you have to keep emptying the drip tray! Once the steam starts being released it has about half the power of the Baby Class D (the same machine but with a single boiler). My Baby Twin experience was not great....Go for the Baby Class D, it's an amazing machine. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Coffee, with practice, Every time *by J***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 March 2011* We have had a Baby Twin for nearly four years now and it gets used everyday. It takes a little practice and planning to get your "ritual" right, but once you're there, this machine is a corker. One of the reviewers prior to this claims there is not instant steam, well, I'm afraid in my experience, it's as instant as any (more expensive) units. Obviously you need to clear the condensate in the system, so it will expel 10ml or so of water before the steam gets going, but this only takes 10 seconds.The coffee making itself is spot on. The machine doses well and just makes great coffee.If you're buying this or any other (non capsule) espresso machine, here are a few tips...a) Milk Jug.. Get yourself a nice stainless jug with a "bulgy bottom". This helps get your swirl on, heats the milk evenly and makes getting the right froth simple. Milk MUST be ice cold when you start too.b) Tamping. Gaggia give you a nice little plastic tamper for the coffee (Tamping is squishing the coffee firmly into the filter) but I would advise getting a nice heavy tamper from a specialist. It makes the action easier, and a tad more "tactile".c) Use the right coffee. Illy is best, Red Caffe Macinato and keep it in the fridge. It's not the most popular coffee in cafés in Europe for no reason. Grinding your own (unless you have a bean to cup machine) is all very well, but it's a faff and it's messy no matter how hard you try!d) Pressure! - 15bar in a Gaggia enough, any more is a bonus.e) Infussion - Gaggia's pre-infuse coffee before delivery. This "sets up" up the coffee releasing the flavour better. Look for this feature on whatever you buy, it's important. The Baby Twin does not do this on a "double dose" mind you, you need to do it manually...Good luck! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/50976465-gaggia-baby-twin-ri8159-40-coffee-maker](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/50976465-gaggia-baby-twin-ri8159-40-coffee-maker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
