Gaggia Classic Evo RI9481/14 Espresso Machine 1200W 15 Bar 2.1L Black

Manual Espresso Machine with 58 mm Portafilter

The Gaggia Classic Evo RI9481/14 is a manual single-circuit espresso machine built around a 58 mm stainless steel portafilter. A 15-bar vibration pump feeds a brass brew group. The aluminium boiler reaches operating temperature in about five minutes.

A three-way solenoid valve releases pressure after each shot, so the puck comes out dry. The machine draws 1200W from a 230V 50Hz supply. Power and brew switches sit on the front panel, and the steam knob controls the professional steam wand.

The 2.1L water tank lifts out from the front for refilling. The stainless steel housing measures 230 x 380 x 240 mm and weighs 7.3 kg. A cup warmer on the top plate holds roughly five cups, and the drip tray removes for cleaning.

Both ground coffee and E.S.E. pods work in the portafilter. The unit ships with single and double filter baskets plus a plastic tamper. The steam wand texturises milk for cappuccino and latte, and the hot water function fills Americanos and tea.

Place the machine on a level counter with clearance above the cup warmer. Prime the boiler before the first shot by running the pump with the steam valve open. Grind fine and dose consistently, because the 58 mm basket rewards an even bed.

Backflushing with a blind filter clears coffee oils from the group. Descale the aluminium boiler every two to three months in hard-water areas. Use a soft brush on the shower screen and wipe the steam wand after each milk session.

Key Features

• 58 mm Commercial Portafilter
  The stainless steel portafilter accepts single and double baskets plus E.S.E. pods.

• 15-Bar Vibration Pump
  The pump holds 15 bar at the group, and a matched expansion valve stabilises brew pressure.

• Aluminium Boiler and Brass Group
  The alloy boiler heats quickly, and the brass group spreads heat evenly across the puck.

• Three-Way Solenoid Valve
  The valve vents group pressure after extraction, which leaves a dry puck for knocking out.

• 2.1L Front-Loading Tank
  The tank slides out from the front and shows the water level through a clear window.

• Professional Steam Wand
  The wand delivers dry steam for fine milk foam and controlled latte art pours.

• Cup Warmer and Drip Tray
  The top plate warms about five cups, and the tray lifts out for rinsing.

• Italian Assembly
  Gaggia builds the unit in Italy on a platform shared with earlier Classic revisions.
