Gaggia Classic Evo Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine, Black

The Evo is the version of the Classic line just before Gaggia moved to a brass boiler, running an anodized aluminum boiler instead, lighter and quicker to heat, though it holds temperature less steadily across consecutive shots than the newer E24. Everything else that makes the Classic line worth learning is still here: a solid brass group, a stainless steel portafilter sized for standard 58mm baskets, and full manual control over the brew. This is the black finish, and at a meaningfully lower price than the E24, it is the honest choice for someone who wants Gaggia's semi-automatic experience without paying for the boiler upgrade.
