VSSL Java

Vorab möchte ich hier Tim von Bike Hike Brew danken www.bikehikebrew.com Login • Instagram der mir freundlicherweise seine Bilder zur Verfügung gestellt hat.

Persönlich finde ich die Idee grundsätzlich sehr gut, ob die Umsetzung wirklich taugt wird sich zeigen. Allerdings sprechen die ersten Tests für sich. Eine Outdoor taugliche Lösung die auch was ab kann, warum nicht.

Introducing the VSSL Java

Hier der erste Eindruck von Tim

"Straight out of the box, the JAVA looks stunning. As with all of VSSL's gear, it's designed and manufactured for the outdoor market. As such, this thing feels like it's built to last. Outer shell and components feel indestructible and are beautifully machined. Stripping it down, the internals also look sound. Bearings at the top and bottom of the burr shaft should eliminate much of the grind variance.

With the solid build of this thing, I wouldn't be the least bit worried about it hanging off the side of a pack and getting banged up. The unique carabiner/crank handle design is pretty clever and closes securely with a locking screw; no risk of it coming undone. I really, really like this feature being an outdoor enthusiast. Threads on anything that screws shut feel smooth and the bearings make for smooth grinding. A handgrip knob that fits onto the end of the crank handle is stored separately in the bottom of the grinder. This has been one of the downfalls so far. The knob isn't magnetized and just sits loosely on the crank handle. I had it come off while grinding a few times and it's constantly dropping off onto the ground when holding the grinder while doing other things. I initially thought having the crank mounted to the outer edge of the lid felt off-balanced when in action. It's less noticeable when under load. Not a major concern at all.

The capacity of the grinder is bang on 20g. You'd struggle to get another bean in there. Churning through this load was a breeze. The smaller hopper diameter is a pleasure compared to the novelty oversized chamber of the C40 that even I struggle to get a good grip on sometimes.

VSSL says "unbreakable....packable....premium build....pour over...french press on the trails". It ticks them all."

Ich bin gespannt was ihr darüber denkt.

Also ich bin ganz angetan davon. Vor allem ist sie wirklich robust. Werde die Tage Mal Bericht erstatten.
