Gaggia Evolution Espresso Machine, Black

The Gaggia Espresso Evolution is a semi-automatic machine designed to be both compact, yet striking; packed with features, yet easy to use; all at a price point that makes it accessible on just about any budget. It features a PID-controlled boiler, automatic pre-infusion, and a pannarello-style steam wand that makes frothing milk extraordinarily easy—plus easily-programmable extraction times.

More Info

PID Controlled Boiler

The Gaggia Espresso Evolution just might be the only espresso machine in its price range with a PID-controlled thermoblock boiler. That means you get better temperature stability—and better extractions—across the board.

Automatic Pre-Infusion

Experience extraordinary extractions with the automatic pre-infusion feature on the Espresso Evolution. With no programming required, the machine will automatically soak your grounds to better extract nuanced flavors for a more sophisticated and enjoyable espresso every time.

Versatile Brewing

The Gaggia Espresso Evolution comes with a series of portafilter baskets designed to streamline your morning brew routine. If you’re tight on time, just toss in a coffee pod and you’ll be brewing in seconds. If you’d prefer to practice your tamping, the stainless steel, double-walled baskets are perfect for pre-ground coffee beans too. (You could even grind at home if you’ve got the gear for it.) However you like to brew, the Espresso Evolution makes it easy to do.

Memo Function

Pre-program your Espresso Evolution to extract perfectly for your preferred roast. Simply push and hold the brew button and the Espresso Evolution will memorize extraction times and repeat them for you—no need to time your shots once you’ve dialed in!

Thoughtful Design

The 100% made-in-Italy Espresso Evolution has a lot to love from the design standpoint. The stainless steel drip tray is removable so you can find clearance for taller cups, the ergonomic portafilter has been crafted to lie flat on a countertop to facilitate even tamping, and with just three buttons, it’s delightfully easy to operate.

Why You Should Get It

The Gaggia Espresso Evolution is the perfect home espresso machine for anyone who wants to explore brewing quality Italian espresso at home. With no barista skills required, the Espresso Evolution produces surprisingly good shots and makes milk frothing easy with its pannarello-style steam wand. Considering its price point, it’s one of the best values home baristas could hope for in a first-time machine.
