Need Some Info On A 1998 Gaggia Baby

[Nickm19]

Specifically what i want to know is if this machine has a 3 way valve. I don't think my steamer is working to full potential so what must be done to clean it. Also what size is the Group head gasket, and where is the best place to purchase one.

To determine whether or not it has a 3-way you can take the lid off the top and look inside and/or look for an overflow tube that should lead to the drip tray as it does with the Classic. If you want to take a few pics of the machine that would be most helpful.

For steaming issue, you could have some blockage in the wand itself, especially if it has a Panarello type tip that can clog easily if not cleaned after every use. Could also be internal blockage that needs to be minimized by descaling.

For group gaskets, there are many places online that sell Gaggia parts. I would suggest the kit below as the shower screen needs to be replaced after years of use as they can become clogged, bent, etc.
