Manufacturer's Description
Gaggia is the best known Italian manufacturer of coffee machines for professional and household use and its name is synonymous with tradition and reliability the world over. The company was set up in 1947 by Achille Gaggia, the man to whom we are indebted for the success of espresso coffee all over the world. It was he who on September 5th 1938 filed a patent no 365726 with which modern steam-free coffee machines may be said to have been born. In 1977 Gaggia began producing coffee machines for the home, launching the Baby Gaggia, which to this day is considered to be the ideal family coffee maker. The designs and technological advances have changed the way the machines look and work but the objective of quality, reliability and the passion for the right espresso everytime has remained throughout Gaggia's history and this is what makes Gaggia legendary.
Special care is given to its design with clean and definite lines, durable materials and exclusive finish. A user friendly design with front water reservoir that is removeable sideways, a large space to accommodate the cups, a stainless steel grill and the easy and exclusive controls makes the Evolution the choice of style and tradition.

How to get the best of your Machine
I've noted that this machine has had some bad reviews, so I thought I better set things right.
Heres how you do it:
1. Read the instructions
2. Make sure the machine is hot. Leave it to stand for at least 10mins before making your coffee. (I tend to leave mine on all day to save waiting for it to heat up every other hour). Also, if using the steam nozzle to froth milk leave the machine 30 seconds to reheat.
3. Make sure you use the correct grind of coffee. If you use coffee labelled "suitable for all machines" you will get a weak watery coffee. This is because the coffee is not fine enough. Make sure you buy coffee suitable for "espresso machines" which is a finer grind. Or, when grinding your own ensure you set the grinder to the finest setting.
4. Use the tamper provide to compress the coffee into the dispensing head.
5. Press the dispense button and wait a few seconds for your espresso cup to fill and you have the perfect coffee.
6. Maintenance. After a month or two of making your espressos make sure you take out and clean the stainless steal filter attached to the body of the machine. When it gets clogged with coffee the machine pumps the water out too quickly.
So, to the reviewer that put their machine back in the box, I suggest you get it out leave it to heat up for a few minutes and try the above steps.
Excellent coffee, great looking machine
I also can't understand the people who gave this machine a bad review.
As long as you follow the instructions (which are easy to follow) and wait until the machine is hot enough, you get perfect espresso every time.
I use this along with the Gaggia coffee bags to make it even less of an effort to get a good espresso.
Good looking, solid, effective espresso machine
Nice design, could not figure how to make a proper coffe
This is a nice looking machine, the set looks sturdy and solid. However, it is almost impossible to get a proper espresso. Had to return it after almost a month using different types of coffee and grinding.
