Grinds Coffee Pouches are flavored coffee pouches that sit between your cheek and gum to deliver caffeine and flavor without tobacco or nicotine.

They were originally created as a tobacco-free, nicotine-free alternative for smokeless tobacco users and have helped many customers reduce or quit that habit.

Each can includes about 18 pouches plus B-vitamins and other functional ingredients for clean, portable energy.

Place one pouch between your cheek and gum, similar to a nicotine pouch or dip. Let the flavor brew for a few minutes while the caffeine kicks in.

Remove and discard the pouch once the flavor fades. If you want a stronger kick, you can use more than one pouch at a time.

You do not have to spit. Most customers swallow the flavor as it builds, which is the simplest way to use the pouch.

If you prefer to spit, you can. You will still absorb caffeine and flavor, but many users find the experience less effective that way.

Yes! Grinds Coffee Pouches were originally designed to help smokeless tobacco users kick their habit. Quitting tobacco and nicotine can be a long and difficult process. Grinds Coffee Pouches are a great way to simulate the oral fixation that accompanies chewing tobacco. Also, the caffeine from the coffee + the B-Vitamins in our product can help combat nicotine cravings.

No — Grinds is currently only available in pouch form. Loose coffee grounds tend to get stuck in your teeth, so pouches offer a cleaner, easier experience.

We may explore other formats in the future, but pouches are our focus right now.

Rotating pouch placement and keeping up with normal dental care can help reduce staining.

Yes — all Grinds ingredients are FDA-approved and GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe).

Some customers use Grinds as part of a broader routine to help manage cravings, since caffeine can temporarily reduce appetite and the pouch gives you something to keep in your mouth.

It is not a weight-loss product, and you should always maintain a healthy diet and talk to a healthcare professional before making major diet changes.

No — Grinds pouches are not meant to be swallowed and could present a choking hazard.

If you accidentally swallow one, contact a physician or healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

The GRINDS Innovation Lab, where new flavors are showcased and work to earn their spot in our Everyday Starter lineup.

Flavors in the Innovation Lab are released for a limited 120-day window or until inventory sells out, whichever comes first. You help decide if a flavor earns the call up to the Everyday Starter lineup or gets Red-Tagged based on its sales, reviews, and customer feedback.

Our Limited Drops are like Pinch Hitters. Exclusive flavors that step up to the plate in a clutch moment.

These flavors are released in very limited quantities and are only available while supplies last. Once they’re gone, they go back to the bench until their number is called upon again.

GRINDS Everyday Starters make up our core lineup of flavors you can count on day-in and day-out.

When a flavor makes it into the Everyday Rotation, it’s here to stay. These flavors are available for subscription so they’re always ready whenever you need it.

These flavors come back to the lineup for select stretches throughout the year, giving you a chance to grab them only while they’re in season.

MCC stands for Microcrystalline Cellulose. It is a plant-based powder that works well as the base of our energy pouches because it helps deliver flavor and caffeine without dissolving quickly.

MCC is commonly used as a bulking or stabilizing ingredient in processed foods such as baked goods, frozen foods, meat products, and ice cream.

MCC should pass through your system without issue in normal circumstances.
