One of the newest additions to the Gaggia family introduces the new sleek lines of the Evolution. The housing may be revolutionary but we can thank Gaggia for not messing with a good thing as they kept the internal components the same. 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 controls are simple and have all the necessary temperature ready lights. Use this espresso machine to its fullest, and each cup will be creamy, tasty, robust, and rich with flavor. The Evolution includes two stainless steel filter baskets (one and two shot), coffee tamper, and 7g measuring scoop. Available in Black.
Features & Benefits: Coffee
Commercial Size and Style Portafilter Handle
Some of the most crucial elements for producing high quality espresso are influenced by the Style, Size and Construction of the portafilter. Style: This portafilter is designed like a commercial machine and works in the same way. The coffee is ground fine and is tamped (pressed) firmly into place. Size: The size of the portafilter is also the same as a commercial machine. Is has a large diameter (58 mm) so that the water is distributed evenly over a wide surface area. Construction: The portafilter is made up of two parts, the handle and the filter holder. The handle is made of high quality plastic. The heavy chrome plated brass filter holder keeps the temperature stable throughout the entire brewing process, therefore producing a quality cup of espresso.

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.
Housing Construction
The entire housing is made of a high-impact, heat resistant polycarbonate. The drip grate is made of stainless steel.

Gaggia has long been recognized for its ability to consistently provide reliable, high quality espresso machines. When they introduced the Evolution, they not only kept up with those standards, but also far exceeded them.
The Evolution is an aesthetically pleasing machine with a streamlined look that accommodates any kitchen counter. The charm, however, comes from within. The Evolution offers a high wattage boiler that has one of the quickest heat up times in the industry, complemented by a 55-watt pump that sits on vibration resistant rubber mounts. And with its commercial brew group and portafilter – which is approved for use with ESE certified coffee pods – the Gaggia Evolution packs a big punch into its tiny frame. To top of your espresso, Gaggia has also included their Turbo-Frother frothing wand to make sure you produce fantastic froth for every cappuccino.
Easy to maintain, the Evolution was also designed with removable parts for easy access. When the 44oz. capacity reservoir runs low, simply slide it out from the left side of the machine to refill it at the tap. The drip tray is can also be removed for simple disposal of waste water.
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.

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.

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.
