The Hydra™ was developed in anticipation of the new wave of interest in pressure profiling in the espresso industry. Mark Barnett, Synesso's owner and product developer, realized that the best machine platform for pressure profiling required a separate pump and motor per group. He took the popular Cyncra™ platform and redesigned the water inlet system and added additional pumps and motors and all the associated controls.
The result is multiple fully independent brew systems, which enable the barista to program different pressures to optimize roast extraction, as well as to brew on one group while preinfusing on the other without adversely affecting system pressure. Multiple pumps and motors too, add to the built-in redundancy of parts which promotes uptime for busy cafes.
Features and Benefits
DigiZone™ Control (A Custom PID Electronics
System)
• Easily adjusts brew & steam tank temperatures
• LED readout for easy viewing of settings and
current
temperature readings (in Celsius or Fahrenheit)
• Intuitive and user friendly
• Very thermally stable brewing temperatures
with PID
controlled element switching
• Adjustable in 1/10th degree Fahrenheit
increments
Dual heating elements in the
steam tanks ( 2 & 3 group machines only)
• Flexibility allows each element to
function
independently
• One element can be turned off if
necessary
• Larger heating surface for quick
recuperation time and
better heat dispersion
Incoloy & Stainless Steel
heating elements, superior to the
Copper &Brass heating elements
• This element can withstand much higher
temperatures and is lead free
• Reduces overheating and element failure
if machines
are started without water
Solid State relays used on all
heating element circuits
• Increased longevity of the relays
• Fewer EM emissions
• More on/off cycles without damaging
the relay
• Improved thermal stability
Electronics box is isolated from
heat and water
• Increases the life of the electronics
• Reduces possibility of an accidental
failure
Heat sink on the electronics
box
• Efficient cooling increases the life
of the electronics
Independently heated and
controlled brew groups
• Ability to set each brew group to
a different temperature to accommodate
different roasting styles or decaf
beans
• Great for roasters to test the
ideal brewing temperature of their
beans
• Extra level of security: if one
group has an issue, the other groups
can still function
• No loss of business from down time
• A group can be turned off for power
savings. Great for tradeshow power
limitations or outdoor catering
challenges
High speed thermal probe replaces
the traditional mechanical thermostat
• Improved thermal stability
• Eliminates mechanical failure and
costly replacement
• Easy to adjust with digital controls
• The probe is a single machined part
designed to increase sensitivity and
reliability
Low level probe
• Protects the steam tank element
from lack of water
• Audible alert notifies user of
low water level
Innovative engineering on the steam
and brew tanks
• Allows a skilled user or service
technician to easily
remove scale from the inside of
the tanks without using any special
tools
The element gaskets are Teflon and
all other seals are industry standard
• Teflon is reusable, durable and very
resistant to heat
• Readily available and easily to replace
Stainless Steel frame and body
• Great looking, durable, corrosion free
& easy to clean
Stainless Steel bayonet rings
• Super long life
• Saves on replacement time and costs
Stainless Steel diffusers
• Easy to clean
• Increased thermal stability
Synthetic ruby flow restrictors
on brew valves
• Easy to access for cleaning or replacement
Cool Touch steam wands
• Greatly reduces the chance of contact
burns
• Doesn’t scald the milk on the steam wand,
making it more sanitary and easier to clean
• Eliminates the need for a burn clip
Omni Directional steam wands
• Barista flexibility on positioning
Side mounted, steam lever actuators
• No twisting is required – reduces
potential carpal tunnel issues
• Variable steaming pressure
Two styles of steam wand tips
available
• High pressure, low flow tip allows
for tighter control with smaller
volumes
• High flow tip allows for quick
heating of larger volumes
Pre-infusion function
on the brew groups
• This will swell the coffee
puck evenly before the brew
pressure is applied and create
a more thorough extraction
A thermal probe controls the steam
pressure, replacing the pressure stat
• No costly annual replacement or
maintenance on the rubber diaphragm
• Not a wearing part
• The probe is a single machined unit and is highly
reliable
Welded brew groups to brew tanks
• Removes possibility of leakage
• Improves thermal stability
Brew water tubing never leaves the saturated
group
• Optimal brew temperature is immediately
available
• Eliminates the need to “surf” for optimum
brewing temperatures
Preheated water to brew groups
• Aids in thermal stability
Dual hose water inlet
• Prevents brew pressure drops while the
steam boiler is filling
Steam valve is easily serviced and
has an isolation valve in line
• Allows users to quickly replace wearable
rubber parts, saving time and money
Easily removable drip tray
• Easy cleaning of the machine and surrounding
areas
• Provides quick and easy access to the control
panel
Mix valve on hot water system
• Eliminates vapor spray from the overheated
water in the steam tank
• Ability to set the Americano or tea water
to optimal
temperatures
Aerator on the hot water spout
• Delivers a smooth and even flow of water
Thick and pliable portafilter gaskets
• Easier to engage the portafilter, results
in less stress on the barista’s wrists
• Industry standard, long lasting gasket
that is readily available and cost effective
• Grooved edges allow for air and water
release, and make installation easier
15° angle to the portafilter handle
• The more natural angle reduces stress on
the barista’s wrist and helps prevent injuries
Low profile design
• Allows the barista to engage the customer
• Lets the customer experience the theater
of the brewing process
