Know before you buy
Yes. Because the Giotto Evoluzione R uses a heat exchange boiler system, you can pull your espresso shot and steam your milk simultaneously without waiting for the machine to change temperatures.
It is flexible. You can use the internal 2.9L water reservoir for a plug-and-play setup, or you can choose to plumb the machine directly into your home's water supply for continuous operation.
The PID controller allows you to precisely set and maintain the boiler temperature, ensuring consistent extraction results. This is particularly helpful when switching between different coffee roasts that require specific temperature profiles.
Yes, the rotary pump is much quieter and smoother in operation than the vibration pumps found in entry-level machines. It also allows for the option of plumbing the machine directly to a water line.
The E61 is an industry-standard commercial group head known for its thermal stability and durability. It also features automatic pre-infusion, which gently saturates the coffee grounds before full pressure is applied to ensure a more even extraction.
The machine is equipped with 'No-Burn' wands, which are insulated to prevent them from becoming dangerously hot. This makes them safer to handle and easier to clean, as milk residue is less likely to bake onto the surface.
