| - The compact and modern designed Evolution is especially suited for couples who like starting their day with a good cup of coffee. It takes about 10 minutes to make the first two cups of cappuccino, starting with a cold machine, so even if your are in a hurry you can still make it to a coffee for two. Of course you can make coffee with the Evolution for a larger crowd, but not much larger. There is no official capacity limit (although Gaggia's owner manual warns that the machine is only suited for home use), but making a round of more than 4-6 cups may be quite a bother, especially if you are using the milk steamer. The operation of the Evolution is quite easy, but if you want to take the best out of it, you will need to make some effort and learn the basics of the "espresso making ritual". For once, this means that you will have to read the operation manual and follow the operation instructions almost by the word. But that is not enough - you will also have to learn how to select ground coffee, and - the part that most people find the most challenging - learn how to steam milk. The Evolution is not a forgiving machine, but if you are willing to make the effort and learn how to use it, it will reward you with great results
