Brew cafe-quality espressos, cappuccinos, lattes, and more from the comfort of home with this semi-automatic espresso machine. The unit's 44-ounce water reservoir removes for convenient filling, and its user-friendly control panel offers three simple push buttons for power, brewing, and steaming. The machine also contains a 3-1/2-ounce aluminum boiler with two heating elements, which makes the initial heating process much quicker than with other semi-automatic espresso machines. Furthermore, its commercial-style chrome-plated brass brew group and portafilter provide excellent temperature stability, and the rubber-mounted 15-bar vibration pump ensures quiet operation. The portafilter can be used with either ground coffee or ESE coffee pods--a nice feature for guests who might want decaf after dinner, and thanks to the Turbo-Frother steam wand, anyone can look like a professional barista. Other highlights include a passively heated cup warmer, an easy-to-clean design, and lightweight heat-resistant polycarbonate construction. Accessories include single/pod and double-shot stainless-steel filter baskets, a coffee tamper, and a 7-gram measuring scoop. The 1425-watt espresso machine measures 10-3/5 by 8-2/3 by 13-2/5 inches.

Great Machine!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gaggia 16109 Evolution Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine, Silver and Chrome (Kitchen)
Although I would like the unit to be all stainless, that is unrealistic expectation at this price point. The internals are the same as higher priced Gaggia units and it makes an excellent cup of espresso. I use the Evolution to make a minimum of 4 double shots daily and it never misses a beat. The Evolution is easy to operate, easy to clean and is ready to use in less than 5 minutes. I highly recommend this unit and would purchase the Evolution again.
If you are concerned about the "plastic" exterior, buy the Gaggia Classic or another higher priced unit instead.

good coffee, but...,

This review is from: Gaggia 16109 Evolution Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine, Silver and Chrome (Kitchen)
Why the designers can't make a steam wand that is high enough to get a mug under is beyond me. The housing is cheap plastic and poorly assembled. The ready lights had fallen out and didn't fit right. Molding flash on the plastic parts wasn't even trimmed.

This review is from: Gaggia 16109 Evolution Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine, Silver and Chrome (Kitchen)
I traveled in Europe last summer and became spoiled by the amazing coffee so for Christmas my mother bought this espresso maker for me. I had never made or even seen anyone make espresso outside of Starbucks so I was intimidated at first. However, after a few trial and errors, I did it!
The good ... * the unit looks nice on my countertop with the stainless steel accents * the espresso is hot and delicious! * the "ready" lights are convenient since I didn't even know that I had to warm up the machine before using * the taste is consistant so the machine much be forgiving since I am sure that I am not very good at this yet! The bad ... * the directions were in multiple languages and the english section was confusing (I watched several videos on the internet and that helped alot!) * there were several accessories that didn't come with my unit so I had to spend a little $ before the drinks got easier to make (a frothing cup, a thermometer that clips onto the cup, a carafe for the espresso.) I could have gone without any of these, but they certainly helped * the frothing wand is so low that I can't find a frothing cup that fits under it. I just deal with a little milk spill on my countertop everytime (I just ordered an automatic frother so I hopefully wont be using the frothing wand much longer Overall, I am really having fun with this unit ... and a hint, buy decaf espresso so that you can experiment without having sleeping issues. I learned this the hard way!
