A portafilter like no other
Redefining how a portafilter should function and feel, Hummingbird by Canal fuses ergonomic design with modern materials and manufacturing processes to create an ultra lightweight, ultra durable portafilter that is highly configurable and slides effortlessly into place on a wide range of 58mm espresso group heads.
Built with baristas in mind and made to be a professional tool they can carry with them throughout their careers, the Hummingbird Portafilter is 1/3 the weight and requires 1/3 the force to tighten in place—improving workflow efficiency and reducing unnecessary physical strain and fatigue.
A fresh new take on a largely unchanged element of espresso machines, Hummingbird features a fiberglass reinforced polymer and machined alloy body with layflat bottomless design for ease of dosing and tamping, and is available in a range of eye-catching colours.
Includes an 18g IMS basket; optional attachable spout sold separately.
