What is the Gaggia La Radiosa Evo?
The La Radiosa Evo is a super-automatic, bean-to-cup espresso and milk system from Gaggia Milano, designed for businesses that demand high performance, consistent output, and operational simplicity. As the upgraded successor to the original La Radiosa, the Evo model comes equipped with smarter connectivity, greater beverage versatility, and improved hygiene automation.
With its dual grinder system, advanced Evo Milk technology, and 10” interactive HD display, La Radiosa Evo takes the complexity out of espresso preparation—making it ideal for both staff-operated and self-service environments.
Who Is It For?
La Radiosa Evo is built for high-efficiency environments where beverage quality must remain uncompromised. Ideal use cases include:
- Specialty cafés & chains looking for faster, more consistent output
- Hotels & resorts with breakfast buffets or 24/7 coffee stations
- Corporate offices & co-working spaces offering premium in-house beverages
- Restaurants expanding into dessert drinks or after-dinner espressos
- Catering companies & events requiring compact, portable espresso solutions
