What is the age restriction for coffee pouches? 

There’s no age restriction for coffee pouches; you can use them to get this extra energy to kickstart the day. However, if you’re caffeine intolerant, it’s wise not to have too much of them every day (much like with normal coffee) as too much caffeine in any form might cause insomnia.

What really are grinds coffee pouches? 

Grinds coffee pouches are small, portable packets of coffee that can be enjoyed anywhere, anytime, originally designed for baseball players and are often used by athletes or busy people on the go.

But don’t be fooled by their plain appearance – inside each pouch is a carefully crafted blend of coffee beans, designed to give you the energy boost coffee always gives. Many also use it to cut down on smoking. Each pouch contains around 20-25mg of caffeine; the beans are roasted and ground to perfection, then sealed into the pouch to preserve freshness. 

Each little can have about twenty pouches and its caffeine content is equal to 4-5 cups of coffee.

These pouches are also high in B-Vitamin and Taurine (also found in the Red Bull energy drink).

This is what a coffee pouch consumer has to say:

This is an amazing product with lots of flavor. It is great for if you are traveling around a lot during a job and cannot carry a cup of coffee. The bags are small and not noticeable when in the cheek. The separate compartment to put away used bags is brilliant if there is not a trashcan around. If you have a bag in your mouth for about 20 minutes it may start breaking down and the coffee grinds will start coming out and getting in your mouth (but hey, that’s also my fault because they are fun to mess with like chewing gum. They literally state to discard them after 15-20min). The cinnamon flavor is the best out of the 3 in my opinion. It’s a strong flavor but it is the quickest to go away after about 10 minutes.

2 ways of how to use grinds coffee pouches

Most people are familiar with the standard coffee brewing method of using grounds and hot water. However, there is a new way to make coffee that is becoming increasingly popular:

1. The most popular way to use grinds coffee pouches is similar to smokeless tobacco: place it in your mouth between the gums and cheek and let it work its magic. The flavours of coffee will soon come out, giving you a real energy boost. After keeping it in for some time (about 20-40 minutes), you can just take it out and throw it away. 
   Top tip: it’s no good keeping in your front teeth cause coffee stains and it might have an effect on your teeth.
2. The second way of using grinds coffee pouches is the same as making tea: simply tear open the pouch, pour the coffee into your cup, and add hot water. The grinds will quickly dissolve, leaving you with a delicious cup of coffee in seconds. Plus, there’s no need to worry about packing a bulky coffee machine or filters – all you need is a cup and some hot water. (Did you know that you can regrind coffee?)

Can you really shallow grinds coffee pouches?

In theory, you can swallow it, but in general grinds, coffee pouches have a strong taste, so it’s no surprise not so many people use pouches this way. It’s a better idea to just chew it for some time and throw it away when the flavour is waning. 

How much caffeine is in grind coffee pouches? 

The good thing about coffee pouches is that each pouch contains much less caffeine than a cup of coffee. 

Particularly each pouch has about 20-25mg of caffeine although some pouches are higher in caffeine; it depends on the roast. For example, blonde and medium roasts have more caffeine than dark ones. 

One pouch that’s higher in caffeine than the average pouch is the New Orleans-style flavour with 60mg in each.

Do coffee pouches really stain your teeth?

Coffee contains tannins, which can cause staining, meaning that they retain their colour, which can lead to darker-stained teeth. If you want to keep the white colour on your teeth you can place the pouch in the back of your mouth so it doesn’t stain your teeth much. The other thing you can do is to drink more tea than coffee; although it also contains tannins, it doesn’t stain your teeth as much as coffee. Coffee pouches not only stain your teeth but your clothes too. Learn how to remove coffee stains in this guide.
