Finding the right grind setting is part of the fun in exploring your new VSSL Java Grinder. We will get you started with the ranges below but experiment with your settings and recipe to dial in your perfect cup! 

We’ve made it simple to clean your VSSL Java G25 / G45. Use the supplied brush to keep the grind catch, adjustment dial and main cylinder (hopper) free of debris. Periodically residue can build up in the grind catch, so a more thorough scrubbing might be required.

For  advanced cleaning and disassembly instructions please refer to the user manual and our journal entry on cleaning. 

The Java G25 has a capacity of around 25 grams of beans while the G45 has capacity of around 45 grams. Roast type does impact capacity as lighter roasts are heavier and more dense while darker roasts are less dense but the beans tend to be larger.

The great thing about our Stainless Steel Filter is they are environmentally friendly and able to last for hundreds of cups! For daily brewing handwashing with soap and water is all you need but overtime some residue or staining can buildup. To deep clean your filter, mix equal parts vinegar and warm water and allow it soak for a few minutes. Give it a scrub, rinse and it is good as new!  

The Nest filter is a size #1. Perfect for brewing a single cup of pour over!

1. Turn on the scale by hitting the Power button.

2. When the display first lights up hit both the Power and Zero button simultaneously. 

A notification will light up showing bU2 -On or Off to reflect the sound setting. 

Ensure you are hitting the buttons simultaneously immediately after turning on the scale while it is still waking up and calibrating. If you wait until it zeros out it will not register that you are trying to adjust the sound setting.

VSSL Camp Supplies products were discontinued in February of 2024. Since then we have made a complete transition to offering best in class coffee brewing equipment for those who take their coffee in places less travelled. To learn more about our transition from camp supplies to coffee read a post from our founder, Todd Weimer "Flowing With the Current".

At this time we do not have additional inventory of VSSL Camp Supplies and supporting parts. While we might not be able to to offer repairs, if you believe your Camp Supplies has a warranty issue reach out to our CX team through the warranty form and we will see what we can do to support. 

Our lights use 3 N-type (generic name), or E90 (Energizer) batteries. They are outstanding batteries and can be found in most hardware stores, electronic stores, or camera stores.

We spent substantial time in product development sourcing the best type of battery for this application with the help of the experts from Emerging Power. Emerging Power is an ISO 9001:2008 certified – ITAR registered and FM Certified products -manufacturer of OEM and replacement batteries and charger products based in New Jersey. Their list of satisfied OEMs includes many Fortune 500 customers.

AAA batteries are far more common; we know this. AAA and AA batteries power most of today's small portable electronics. The downside is that these batteries are snapped up really fast in the event of an emergency. Disasters such as Hurricane Katrina taught us that less common batteries are actually more readily available during supply shortages. We can assume that hoarding during the zombie apocalypse will also deplete store shelves of more common batteries.

Our N-Type batteries have the same capacity as a high end (Energizer, Duracell) AAA battery (~1000 mAh*) but with a smaller form factor, allowing us to create a smaller light but still use high capacity batteries
