Gaggia Espresso Evolution Overview
The newest Gaggia espresso machine to hit the market is the Espresso Evolution, a semi-automatic 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.
The Espresso Evolution is designed to create a streamlined barista experience and produce high-quality espresso. 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.
Features and Performance
Designed and built entirely in Italy, the Espresso Evolution offers an impressive amount of thoughtful features we were surprised to find on a machine in this price range.
To start, Gaggia ditched the pressurestat and upgraded to a PID for boiler temperature regulation, meaning you get much more stable and accurate brew temperatures—this feature is practically unheard of on machines of this price point.
Speaking of features generally reserved for machines two to three times as expensive, the Espresso Evolution also features an automatic pre-infusion that gently wets your grounds to allow for degassing and reduce the likelihood of channeling. It also allows you to program volumetric extractions with ease, so once you’ve dialed in you don’t need to weigh your shots.
This is also an extraordinarily versatile machine: it comes with everything you need to brew using ESE pods, store-bought pre-ground coffee, or freshly ground beans from your own grinder.
Round that out with a removable stainless steel drip tray for additional cup clearance, an ergonomic portafilter that lies flat for easy tamping, and a no-skills-required pannarello steam wand and you’ve got yourself the perfect starter espresso machine.
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.
