Nothing starts a morning or ends an evening in camp like a fresh cuppa joe. With the GSI JavaGRIND™ you can take "fresh" to a whole new level.

It was a long search to find a good, reasonably priced manual coffee grinder. It holds a fair amount of beans so you will not have to carry more if you are going away for a few days. It is a little unstable but if paired with the GSI press it fits just right. I would buy it again for a gift for someone else if I could.

I got these for Christmas and love them. I walk to work on some icy streets and at times almost fell down. With these I can walk comfortably and not feel like at any moment I am going to fall.
