Meet the VSSL Java G45 — the heavyweight champion of hand grinders, built for those who take their coffee as seriously as their time outdoors. Like its smaller sibling, the G25, it’s engineered with high-carbon steel burrs and aircraft-grade materials for buttery-smooth grinding and exceptional consistency. But the G45 steps things up with a larger hopper and grind catch, so you can brew for your whole crew without double shifting. It’s quick, precise, and incredibly satisfying to use — whether you’re fuelling up for a summit push or winding down around the fire. And despite its bigger size, it still packs down neatly, ready to roll wherever the road (or trail) takes you. When nothing but a proper cup will do — and there are a few mugs to fill — the G45 is the grinder to reach for.
VSSL was born in the backwoods of Saskatchewan, Canada, where founder Todd Weimer spent his youth rigging up DIY survival kits in hollowed-out PVC pipes. That spirit of resourceful adventure never left him — but these days, VSSL is less about emergency gear and more about elevating everyday rituals in the wild. The new mission? To brew better coffee outdoors. And frankly, VSSL is nailing it.
Their ever-evolving range of precision-built, adventure-ready coffee gear is made to take your camp brew from just-about-decent to genuinely exceptional. We’re talking grinders that slip into your pack but deliver barista-worthy results, nesting pour-over kits that slot together beautifully and work like a charm, and tumblers built for comfort, flavour and frosty morning starts. This is gear made for real outdoor use — proper hardwearing kit that’s built to last. Designed for dialled-in coffee, even when you’re three days into the West Highland Way or brewing up at a windswept bothy. Because VSSL gets it — a good cup doesn’t just set you up for the day. It makes the moment. And when the view’s that good, the brew should be too.
