Canal Hummingbird Portafilter

I love this portafilter! 

The Hummingbird portafilter is designed to help professional baristas, who regularly prepare hundreds of espresso shots per day and who can suffer repetitive stress injuries from prolonged use of conventional portafilters.
The Hummingbird redefines how a portafilter should feel, with its super light weight and low-friction ear inserts to reduce tightening force. With modernized materials and fun color variants, it brings efficiency and flair to every espresso machine.
The Hummingbird portafilter reduces user fatigue with its light weight and reduced tightening force, helping to prevent workplace fatigue and repetitive stress injuries, all while improving workflow efficiency.
It is common knowledge that in a production environment, lighter tools and equipment help protect workers by reducing the likelihood of overuse injuries. The Hummingbird portafilter aids in this effort, which advances the coffee preparation industry as a whole.
There are many independently-developed portafilters, but none that achieve the light weight and low tightening force of the Hummingbird, with the express goal of reducing strain and improving the coffee-making process for baristas. The Hummingbird is 1/3 the weight, and requires 1/3 of the tightening force of typical portafilters - all without sacrificing durability.
Across many industries there is a movement to better care for workers and eliminate sources of workplace injury. The Hummingbird portafilter should be seen as a key preventive measure that enhances the coffee-making experience and improves career longevity for baristas.
Canal Seattle sees our portafilter as a professional tool that baristas can carry and utilize throughout their careers, as well as a valuable preventive measure for café owners and managers.
Similar to the preferred tools of a bartender, the Hummingbird portafilter aims to become the new standard for the pro barista and the serious coffee enthusiast.
The new standard for coffee professionals: ultralightweight, super durable, easier to install, configurable to your machine.
An exciting new portafilter, designed to make life easier for the professional barista: light weight, super durable, easier to tighten, and configurable for a customized fit.
