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.

Product Description:
The high wattage dual heating element boiler has about the quickest heat up time in the industry.
The 55 watt pump has power to spare, and is mounted on vibration resistant rubber mounts.
The reservoir is easy to fill. Slide it to the left and pour the water in. You don’t have to remove it from the machine. Gaggia has been tested and approved for use with the world famous Illy pods. Gaggia’s new Turbo-Frother frothing wand is designed to help you get great froth with minimum fuss.

The 55 watt pump has enough power to spare, and is mounted on rubber mounts that are vibration resistant.
The reservoir is easy to fill. All that is needed is to slide it to the left and pour in the water. This eliminates the need to remove it from the machine.

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.

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.

Powerful Pump System
The 15 bar, self-priming, vibratory pump will provide more than enough pressure to make excellent espresso topped with thick crema.
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.

Coffee for two
The compact and modern designed Evolution is especially suited for couples who like starting their day with a good cup of coffee. It takes about 10 minutes to make the first two cups of cappuccino, starting with a cold machine, so even if your are in a hurry you can still make it to a coffee for two.
Of course you can make coffee with the Evolution for a larger crowd, but not much larger. There is no official capacity limit (although Gaggia’s owner manual warns that the machine is only suited for home use), but making a round of more than 4-6 cups may be quite a bother, especially if you are using the milk steamer.
The operation of the Evolution is quite easy, but if you want to take the best out of it, you will need to make some effort and learn the basics of the “espresso making ritual”. For once, this means that you will have to read the operation manual and follow the operation instructions almost by the word. But that is not enough – you will also have to learn how to select ground coffee, and – the part that most people find the most challenging – learn how to steam milk. The Evolution is not a forgiving machine, but if you are willing to make the effort and learn how to use it, it will reward you with great results

Combining advanced technology with sleek, revolutionary thermo-set plastic housing, this Gaggia home espresso machine makes it simple to brew creamy, full-flavored coffee drinks. The Gaggia Espresso Machine’s high-wattage dual-heating element boiler reaches the ideal temperature in about five minutes, while its 55-watt pump, mounted on vibration-resistant rubber mounts, has power to spare. The Gaggia Espresso Machine’s 44-ounce reservoir fills easily by simply sliding it to the left and pouring the water in, and the espresso machine is approved for use with the world-famous Illy pods for added convenience. Some of the Gaggia Espresso Machine’s other highlights include a commercial-style brew group with a perfect crema disk, easy-to-use controls that have all the necessary temperature-ready lights, a cup warmer, a large drip tray, and a unique turbo system for steaming milk to a foamy froth. The espresso machine includes single and double stainless-steel filter baskets, a plastic coffee tamper, and a 7-gram measuring scoop.

The controls are simple and have all the necessary temperature ready lights.

Gaggia has been wordly known for it’s Italian past. This new Gaggia Evolution espresso machine adds to the already famous line of Gaggia products and speaks loudly of its name. This machine has a high end look without the high end price.
The dual heating, high watt element boiler has about the fastest heat up time in the industry.

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.

There is no official capacity limit (although Gaggia’s owner manual warns that the machine is only suited for home use), but making a round of more than 4-6 cups may be quite a bother, especially if you are using the milk steamer.

Advantages
The greatest advantage of the Evolution comes from the combination of its modern design and its traditional operation principles. Because of this combination, and especially the semi-automatic operation mode, you have a good deal of control over the result and can truly call it your own creation.
Disadvantages
The semi-automatic control described above is a mixed blessing, because it makes coffee making a slow and tedious routine for those who are in a hurry or less fussy about their coffee.
Disadvantages come from the compromises that Gaggia had to make in order to condense the qualities of their professional machines into the size (and the price) of a machine for home use. Gaggia’s professional machines use a large boiler and an external piston that re-condenses the steam into a hot water aerosol.
Who should not choose the Evolution
If you look at your cup of coffee more like a quick get going thing just for yourself, or you make coffee for parties or other large groups, another brand will probably suit you better.

The large removable 44oz reservoir can be refilled from the side of the machine.
ESE Pod Capable
Comes ready to use with 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.
Thermostat and Safety Switches
The Evolution 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 over heating.

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.

The machine delivers instant hot water just by turning the steam knob during normal standby (brewing) mode and activating the brew switch. Hot water will be dispensed from the steam wand. Use hot water to make tea, Americanos, hot chocolate, or other hot beverages.
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.

Note: The latter has been unique to Gaggia since founder Achille Gaggia patented it in 1938.
In the home use machines, the same effect is achieved by a combination of a small boiler and a unique water pump. The pump is noisy and the usage of a small boiler causes a considerable waste of water (not that you should care about the water so much, considering the fact that we are talking about home use, but this means more cleaning up and sensitivity to corrosion). Another related compromise is the extensive use of plastic in the Evolution which puts doubts about its life span.

The Gaggia Evolution is a compact espresso maker, with a modern yet elegant design. The Evolution is a semi-automatic espresso maker, which means the the way it is operated is very similar to that of a professional espresso machine. As a result, with some training, you can use it to prepare espresso beverages, such as cappuccino and latte, of an almost professional quality.
