Synesso MVP Hydra – Professional Multi-Group Espresso Workhorse

Ultimate control, reliability, and throughput for serious cafés.
The Synesso MVP Hydra is a flagship commercial-grade espresso machine engineered to deliver maximum control over extraction — shot after shot — even under the most demanding service. With independent brew boilers and pumps for each group head, the MVP Hydra ensures stable pressure and temperature regardless of volume, giving baristas the precision they need to pull consistent espresso across blends or roast profiles.

Built for high-volume shops, the MVP Hydra supports full volumetric, semi-automatic, or manual dosing, plus full 4-stage pressure profiling (pre-infusion, ramp-up, full pressure, and ramp-down). Programmable recipes, precise water flow via flow-meters, and robust steam & hot-water delivery make it ideal for busy cafés, roaster espresso bars, or specialty coffee shops pushing the limits of quality and throughput.
