VSSL 'Java' Coffee Hand Grinder Unboxing & Review

[@cowtheif]

The way you put the beans in the grinder was so hilarious to me.

[@luskaj2428]

Just sitting and sipping coffee at home but Imagine sitting somewhere in the nature ,sunny day listening to birds singing... that itself would give coffee so much more even better taste ☕️🌞🌼

[@TheRightRoast]

Very true...can't wait to go camping and brewing now!

[@ballentphoto]

Thank you for the review. The falling knob is a show stopper.

[@HankSolon]

The magnet is usually glued to the knob. Not sure what happened there. So in short: no falling handle, usually (at least for mine)

[@Wheresthesoul]

The comamdante definitely won't break😆 I've taken mine around the world and never thought twice 👍

[@Buckeyes216]

It’s glass.. it’ll break.

[@Wheresthesoul]

@@Buckeyes216 but mine hasn't 👍. It's been in the jungle, on top of mountains, glaciers, and beaches with no problems. You also get two glass catch jars. My extra one is still sitting in the box.

[@Buckeyes216]

@@Wheresthesoul I’m just saying that it can be broken lol. other people might not be as careful as you. either way it’s an awesome grinder and I wish I had one.

[@Wheresthesoul]

@@Buckeyes216 hope you get one sometime 😊. I can only recommend 👍

[@Buckeyes216]

Hello, 4th day of use now and I must say that this VSSL java grinder is a pretty good, accurate and fast device, with a few small reservations anyway: -the foldable handle is not much stable even with the fat magnetic handle on (I eventually decided it's more convenient not to use it) and hopefully wouldn't suffer any damage caused by a false movement, -the limited capacity of 20g -a tight setting prevents all your coffee beans to be ground. As for keeping an accurate setting, the most obvious will be to stick it to the tightest for a daily use, count the clicks for an occasional coarser mode, and just remember the number of clicks to go back to your favourite setting.

[@TheRightRoast]

Nice review. Thanks for the detailed anlysis. I will have a play with the settings to get a better understanding & feel for it as well.

[@mrfairycake4333]

thanks, does the grinder fit inside the Aeropress like the Rhino Coffee Gear Hand Grinder?

[@TheRightRoast]

Yes it does!

[@HankSolon]

@@TheRightRoast no it doesn't. If fits in the larger (outer) tube. But not in the stamp. My understanding is that there are travel grinders which even fit in the smaller tube (the stamp) which would really make it compact.

[@TheRightRoast]

@@HankSolon I see your point and thanks for bringing that to light. Coffee grinder designers everywhere I hope you’re listening!

[@daisukevideo]

There are various coffee grinders! I also use a coffee grinder to enjoy morning coffee every day. The video was very interesting. Also, I will come to play ♬ with love from Japan :)

[@KNURKonesur]

Big question to me is - does it fit inside an Aeropress like the Aergrind from MadeByKnock?

[@Kvothe3]

Yes but you need to use it as the plunger. So take the plunger aeropress comes with out.

[@233kosta]

​@@Kvothe3 Adding a seal boss to the bottom would just take it to perfection 😁 Might be a good aftermarket accessory 🤔

[@timwalker2177]

Just watching you press your aeropress down and it going really smoothly. When I press my aeropress it tends not to go smoothly but kind of sticks on the way. Any advice on this? Sorry, I know it’s a bit of an off point question!

[@TheRightRoast]

I haven't had this issue myself but perhaps squeeze out the air (in the inverted position) first. Or try wetting the rubber stop on the pluger before inserting it...or maybe adjust the speed of your plunging-too hard or fast can cause irregular plunge speed.

[@timwalker2177]

@@TheRightRoast Thanks that’s helpful.

[@glebsky1008]

Is it good for an espresso, like from a nanopresso?

[@TheRightRoast]

I’m not much of an espresso drinker but I don’t think it’s ideal for very fine grinding as it’s geared towards filter coffee.

[@glebsky1008]

@@TheRightRoast thanks for the prompt response!

[@kenjikashiwakura]

Does it fit inside the plunger of the Aeropress?

[@meggerud]

Nope

[@tran936]

@@meggerud Does it fit inside the plunger of the AeroPress Go Portable? The AeroPress Go has a larger diameter plunger.

"Glass is glass, and glass breaks" Agent 47, I think...

[@AntwonDaBusiness]

The handle extends out dude

[@sillllverback]

Hi, can anyone tell me if the "VSSL JAVA" will nest inside the "Aeropress" plunger space for compact storage and or travel??

[@meggerud]

It does not.

[@norawitchanbooranapinich3518]

Have you ever tried Timemore Chestnut C2? It’s the only hand grinder that’s priced reasonably and available around here. It’s my best bet 😅

[@TheRightRoast]

Haven't tried it yet but hope to soon. If that's the best you have around there I hope it's good!

[@Charlie_Skl]

Honduras

[@markust8904]

i can see losing the magnet.

[@TheRightRoast]

hYes that could indeed happen which is why the manufacturer suggests that the magnet should be secured in place.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

@@TheRightRoast crazy that they don't do that themselves😂 This is a mid-range grinder. But they really should epoxy it on or just redesign the thing without it

[@Buckeyes216]

Was so aggravated waiting for you to extract the handle… 😫

[@mightytree9134]

The handle falls off, useless for when camping

[@D4rkM4773r]

What do you mean? It stores inside ....

[@beingaware8542]

Damn, you are a frenetic hot mess! Not reading the instructions first, but weighing coffee beans down to the fraction of a gram? Your entertaining and fun, but gosh, read the instructions. Your LAST 45 seconds was what your whole video should be, (perfect)

[@TheRightRoast]

This was a live unboxing as opposed to the slick edited kind so my clumsiness remains in this video to remind you of its authenticity (and a bit of entertainment). But I take your point that following instructions more carefully would be prudent.

Horrible filming skills for today's day & age. Can't see things clearly & nothing has been prepared beforehand. No proper lighting as well.
