Preparing to Brew Espresso
1. Select the desired spout and basket conguraon. Single, double and boomless portalters are available
through Synesso™. The single spout portalter is used with a single (7g) basket to brew a single shot. The
double spouted and boomless portalters can be used with double (14g) or triple (18g or 21g) baskets to
brew double or triple shots. The double spouted portalter can separate a double shot into 2 single shots of
espresso.
2. Fill the portalter basket with coee grounds to just above level and wipe o the excess.
Note: For best results, use fresh coee. Ground coee should be brewed as soon as possible aer grinding.
3. Press straight down evenly on top of the grounds with the tamper. (A tamper is supplied with the ma-
chine).
4. Engage the portalter into the brew group and pull rmly to the right to set the seal.
5. Proceed to the instrucons for the program (M, MP, or VP) that you wish to brew with. See below on how
to change from program to program.

MVP vs MVP Hydra Brewing:
MVP machines allow for two dierent brew pressures, line pressure preinfusion and full pump pressure, with
only the pump pressure being adjustable. Brewing on an MVP is proled rst as stage 1 low pressure preinfu-
sion, then stage 2 full pump pressure brewing, and lastly stage 3 low pressure ramp down.
MVP Hydras allow for three dierent brew pressures—preinfusion, bypass, and pump pressure—all of which
are adjustable. Brewing on an MVP Hydra is proled as stage 1 low pressure preinfusion, followed by stage 2
ramp up (bypass) pressure, to stage 3 full pump pressure brewing, and nally stage 4 ramp down (bypass)
pressure.
The dierence between the machine’s available pressure modes is observable by the pressure bars shown on
the shot mers as can be seen in the pictures below.
