Originally designed as a healthy tobacco alternative for professional baseball players, Grinds, or Grinds Coffee Pouches, are small pouches of flavored coffee that can help you feel sharp and focused throughout the day or night.
According to the manufacturers, Grinds are great for anyone looking to either kick their tobacco habit or simply find a convenient, healthy way to gain a boost of energy. Each can contains approximately 18-20 pouches and the caffeine equivalent of 4-5 cups of coffee. Grinds also contains other key energy ingredients like B-vitamins, taurine, and guarana that you would find in any energy drink. With Grinds, you simply pop a pouch or two for a quick pick-me-up without having to worry about feeling wired.
The best way to absorb the energy from each pouch is to swallow the saliva it produces. When you have a Grinds pouch in, you’re essentially brewing the coffee in your mouth. If you’d like to spit, you can. Your body will still absorb the energy and caffeine, but in a slower, less deliberate manner. The caffeine is absorbed by placing the grounds on the surface of the gums.
Grinds currently comes in five flavors: cinnamon roll, mint chocolate, mocha, peppermint, and vanilla, and costs US$12 for three cans.
