Gaggia Classic Evo RI9481/16 – Portafilter Espresso Machine in Grey

With the Gaggia Classic Evo RI9481/16, you bring Italian espresso culture directly into your home. This classic portafilter machine combines the iconic Gaggia design with professionally inspired components and robust construction. Whether it's espresso with dense crema, cappuccino, or creamy latte macchiato – the Gaggia Classic offers ambitious coffee lovers the opportunity to control many steps of the preparation themselves.

The espresso machine is developed and manufactured in Italy and continues a decades-long Gaggia tradition. The robust housing, the professional brew group, and the high-quality portafilter are designed for long-lasting use and an authentic barista experience at home.

Improved Brass Brew Group

A centerpiece of the Gaggia Classic Evo is the improved lead-free brass brew group. The material supports stable temperature during the brewing process, thus creating important conditions for consistent espresso extraction.

Together with the new professional stainless steel portafilter, the machine offers components whose size, weight, and handling are based on professional espresso machines.

15-Bar Pump for Espresso with Crema

The integrated 15-bar pump provides the necessary pump pressure for espresso preparation. In combination with freshly ground coffee beans, the right grind, and correct dosage, intense espressos with aromatic crema can be prepared.

Professional 2-Hole Steam Wand for Milk Foam

Cappuccino fans benefit from the professional steam wand with two openings. It allows milk to be frothed and heated – ideal for fine-pored milk foam and coffee specialties such as cappuccino, caffè latte, or latte macchiato.

This means the Gaggia Classic is suitable not only for classic espresso but also for anyone who wants to further develop their frothing skills and prepare their own milk specialties at home.

3-Way Solenoid Valve for Easy Cleaning

The integrated 3-way solenoid valve supports controlled regulation of water pressure. After espresso preparation, the pressure is released from the brew group. This leaves a comparatively dry coffee puck in the portafilter, which is easier to knock out and dispose of.

Intuitive Operation with Classic Toggle Switches

The user interface remains deliberately clear. Separate toggle switches for on/off, espresso, and steam allow direct control of the most important machine functions. Separate indicator lights show the respective operating status.

Thus, the Gaggia Classic deliberately foregoes complicated menus and instead relies on direct, classic operation – fitting the machine's manual barista concept.

2.1 Liter Water Tank with Visible Water Level

The generous 2.1-liter water tank offers sufficient capacity for several espressos and coffee specialties. The water level is visible on the device, making it easier to see when water needs to be refilled.

Filter Set for Beginners and Experienced Baristas

Three filter baskets are included in the scope of delivery. This makes the Gaggia Classic suitable for both beginners and more experienced users who want to customize their espresso preparation.

Stainless Steel Cup Warmer for up to 5 Cups

On the top there is a generous stainless steel cup warmer. It offers space for up to five cups and benefits from the machine's heat. Espresso and cappuccino cups can thus be pre-warmed before preparation.
