Review on GSI Outdoors Ultralight Java Drip: ☕️ Optimal Drip Coffee Solution for Camping and Backpacking by James Duffield

Revainrating 4 out of 5

BUT ULTRA LITE MUST BE INCLUDED IN CASE

ADVANTAGES; Carefully brews an acceptable cup of coffee. Very happy to receive these chef socks. Almost forgot Super easy to clean. Dump the landfill onto the ground or into a compost heap. Then with two cups of clean water I was able to easily get rid of all the buildup. Compact design key. I've heard a lot about them. While the legs look like they'll break easily, they feel flexible where they fit in the cup and strong where they hold your coffee with water. I've only used it once but found it self-explanatory. CONS: Instructions are terrible and should include a waterproof carry case. (Minus one star) It costs no more than $0.05 to make and might even be ultra light. It mentions putting it under a fuel canister, so they assume we're all using isobutane fuel. As we are all material sensitive, all materials used in production need to be better explained. In the meantime, a top-lock sandwich bag works well. Best tips for this dripper: It's best to wet the filter before adding the coffee so the coffee stays in place. Measure out a little more than usual to get an acceptable cup of coffee. When pouring coffee, it is best to start slowly with 15 ml and let the coffee expand so that there are fewer small particles in the cup. I use an almost Turkish grind and my cup had almost no change due to the correct spout. After the coffee has swollen, you can add 15 to 30 ml of water at a time. If you get within 5mm of the top coffee grind line your water will come out and you will end up with a weak cup of coffee. Concentrate the pour on the inner 2/3 of the coffee grounds. You will understand what I am talking about and feel free to challenge as you will see clear water drip into your cup if you get too close to the top of the grinder. Well I hope this helps. The filter is really good and I would buy it again. I think it's worth $8 as a suitcase was supposed to be included and I half expected it. Yes I would buy it again and yes I would recommend it to a friend.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Security
