For decades, it’s been widely accepted that a flat, 9-bar pressure profile was the best way to make espresso, and while we’re not saying that’s entirely incorrect, we believe that experimentation drives innovation. For the last ten or so years, more cafes have been implementing the use of pressure and flow-rate profiling into the world of commercial espresso, and the trend seems to keep growing with very few signs of stopping.
Enter the Synesso MVP Hydra. This espresso machine represents the pinnacle of coffee brewing technology. The MVP Hydra offers baristas precise control over extraction parameters, allowing them to craft exceptional espresso shots consistently.
Designed for busy cafes with a love for coffee experimentation, the MVP Hydra boasts robust construction and reliability. Its sleek, modern aesthetic complements any commercial environment while delivering professional-grade results. The machine's intuitive interface and programmable settings make it accessible to both experienced baristas and newcomers alike.
With the ability to fine-tune pressure, temperature, and flow rate at each group, the MVP Hydra empowers baristas to explore the nuances of different coffees and roast profiles. This level of customization opens up new possibilities for flavor extraction and experimentation in espresso preparation. Baristas can program up to 4 stages per shot, adjusting pressure between 0-12 bars. This allows for experimentation with pre-infusion, ramping, and declining pressure curves. Custom profiles can be saved for each group head, enabling quick switching between recipes, and the touchscreen interface makes creating and modifying profiles simple and intuitive.
Temperature stability is crucial for consistent espresso, and the MVP Hydra delivers. Each group has an independent boiler and PID controller, helping to maintain temperatures within 0.1°C of the set point. Baristas can program different temperatures for each group, making this machine ideal for highlighting various coffee origins or roast levels. The machine's pre-heating system ensures temperature accuracy from the first shot of the day, and quick recovery times between shots maintain stability during high-volume service periods. This precision allows for repeatable extractions and helps showcase the nuances of specialty coffees.
The user-friendly interface features a clear digital display and tactile buttons that allow baristas to easily adjust temperature, pressure, and flow rate for each group head independently, and daily operation is streamlined with programmable shot profiles. Baristas can save and recall preferred settings for different coffee blends at the touch of a button, and the MVP Hydra's ergonomic design places controls within easy reach. The spacious work area accommodates multiple portafilters and cups comfortably. Steam wands are positioned for efficient milk texturing and Synesso’s cool-touch feature optimizes safety during high-volume hours.
For businesses focused on specialty coffee and pushing the boundaries of espresso experimentation, the MVP Hydra is an excellent choice. It offers precision, consistency, and the ability to handle high volumes efficiently while programmable profiles ensure each shot meets exact specifications.
