VSSL Nest Pour Over and G25 Java Grinder

Review: VSSL Nest Pour Over and G25 Coffee Grinder

The VSSL Nest Pour Over is the size of a thermos, but holds everything you need to make a delicious cup of pour-over coffee except for some hot water and coffee.

Just because this combo is compact and built for the outdoors doesn’t mean that you won’t want to use it at home.
