Questions about Gaggia Classic EVO Inox

Gaggia Classic EVO = version 2023 = RI9481/11

The Gaggia Classic RI9481/11 does not explicitly require the use of filtered water. However, it is recommended to always use fresh water and not to fill the water tank with stagnant water in order to avoid contamination. The use of filtered water can help to reduce limescale deposits and extend the service life of the machine, but is not mandatory. Unfiltered tap water from the city of Zurich can generally be used as long as it is fresh and changed regularly. Regular descaling and cleaning of the machine is important in any case to maintain its function and flavour.

This has already been answered by Galaxus below. It is not the E24.

This is the following product from the manufacturer, i.e. the Classic E24 https://www.gaggia.com/product-search/ri9481-11-classic-e24-inox/

The machine with the product ID RI9481/11 is not the E24 version with a brass boiler. The E24 version has specific features such as a brass boiler, which is not mentioned for the RI9481/11.

The water in the Gaggia Classic Evo is heated to a temperature of around 98-99°C, which is suitable for optimum espresso preparation. The brewing group is not the E61, but a special design with a brass group head and a stainless steel filter holder, similar to professional machines.

The Gaggia Classic Evo Pro with product ID RI9481/11 comes with a boiler that has a non-stick coating, rather than a brass boiler. The boiler is made of polished aluminium and has a durable non-stick coating, known as Excelia, instead of the previous anodised surface.

This is not the new E24, the E24 bears the manufacturer's designation RI9481(SIN035UR).

Yes, it has one and cleaning with the blind sieve is possible, but you have to buy it separately.

No, it will not. When you press the button, water runs through the piston and stops when you switch it off again. So you can make espressos or coffee depending on the amount you want. Hope this helps you
