Gaggia Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine - The Evolution - Black
A long time favorite in the espresso world, Gaggia has garnered a well deserved reputation for quality, performance, and reliability no matter what price you pay for one of their machines. In 1938 Achilles Gaggia patented the process that married an electronic pump to an espresso machine. This revolutionized the process of making espresso and rendered the piston (manual) espresso machine that was common at that time obsolete practically overnight. Mr. Gaggia is considered by many to be the father of the modern day pump espresso machine. Even after six decades, Gaggia is still the leading brand of espresso and coffee machines in Italy. The reason for this continued dominance is Gaggia's commitment to the quality of the product that it produces and their sustained durability. The key to obtaining fine cafe quality espresso and espresso based drinks like lattes and cappuccino is to have the right tools. It takes a powerful pump, commercial grade components, powerful boiler, and a little know-how. Well, Gaggia provides the tools, and you provide the know-how. Speaking of that, unique to Gaggia is the fact that they provide a fully interactive and ground breaking CD ROM to teach you everything you need to know about your Gaggia, and it's included with most models. After a little time with the CD instruction, you will be pouring out espresso drinks like the Pros.
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.
