Gaggia Classic Evo RI9481/12 Espresso Machine Red 15 Bar 58mm Portafilter

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine with Commercial Portafilter

The Gaggia Classic Evo RI9481/12 is a semi-automatic lever espresso machine built in Italy around a 15 bar vibration pump and a lead-free brass brew group. It ships in cherry red stainless steel. The chassis carries a 58 mm stainless steel portafilter and a three-way solenoid valve.

The 2.1 litre water tank feeds a 1300 W heating circuit on a 220–240 V supply. A rocker-button interface with dedicated indicator lamps controls brewing and steaming. Heating time sits near 10 minutes, and a stainless steel cup plate pre-warms up to five cups.

The professional steam wand produces milk foam for cappuccino and latte service. A filter kit covers ground coffee and ESE pods through a crema basket, a traditional single basket and a double basket. External dimensions measure 230 mm wide, 380 mm high, and 240 mm deep at 8.1 kg.
