One look at the Gaggia Evolution and you’ll immediately see that the designers at Gaggia have transformed the Evolution into a streamlined work of art. This espresso machine has sleek housing, and all of the commercial quality components you would expect to see on a Gaggia, including a chrome-plated brass portafilter and a rubber-mounted 15-bar vibration pump for quiet operation.
In addition to these quality brewing components, the Gaggia Evolution has a fantastic boiler system that makes the initial heating process much quicker than other semi-automatic espresso machines. With the help of its ESE approved pod capability, you will look like a well-trained barista as you brew thick, rich espresso on this smart-looking machine.
Commercial Brewing Group
This is the portion of the machine that the portafilter locks into. It is made of chrome plated marine brass, which provides a superior brewing environment through maximum heat stability and component longevity.
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 with Temperature Ready Light
The Evolution has three rocker arm switches. The one on the top is the main power switch. The middle one is the steam switch that when turned on, will heat the boiler to steam temperature. The bottom switch operates the pump and is known as the brew switch. To start the brewing process, just turn on the switch, wait until you have reached your desired volume and then turn of the switch. There is an indicator light that is illuminated whenever the boiler is up to operating temperature.

Simple To Use Controls
The Evolution features three push buttons that control the main functions of the machine. The button farthest to the left turns the machine on or off. When the machine is on, an indicator light to the right of this button will illuminate. In the center sits the brew button, and to the far right is the steam button. Whenever the boiler is heating (when you turn the machine on, or are heating the machine to steam temperature, for example) an indicator light between the brewing and steaming buttons will illuminate. To release steam from the steam wand, simply turn the knob on the right side of the machine.
Heavy Duty Portafilter and Filter Baskets
The Gaggia Evolution has a heated cup stacking service that allows you to preheat your cups before serving your beverages. Warm cups are desired in making perfect espresso because you are dealing with very small volumes of liquid, which can be cooled off rapidly if poured into a cold cup.

Safety System Built In
The boiler heating element features a thermal fuse that provides burnout protection if the boiler is operated dry or runs out of water.
The Gaggia Espresso comes complete with two stainless steel filter baskets for making either single or double shots of espresso, a coffee tamper, 7 gram measuring spoon, instruction manual, and interactive CD ROM user guide.
