Grinds Black Coffee (Coffee Pouches) - Review. 7 January 2021.

Today, we're going to be talking about Grinds Coffee Pouches!  While I don't drink coffee myself, I enjoy coffee flavored products, and I've enjoyed Grinds for quite a while now!  As you all know, I'm a snus guy, and I love tobacco.  However, I know there's some who are looking to quit, and Grinds is a good option for people like that.  My wife isn't a tobacco user, but she uses Grinds all the time because she loves the quick pick me up it gives her in the morning.  In this review, we're going to be talking about Grinds: Black Coffee.  The flavor description for this one says it has a taste of "sweet and smooth vanilla".  Each can of Grinds weighs 18 grams and contains 18 pouches.  Each individual pouch has 25mg of caffeine per pouch.

If you're not familiar with Grinds, I'll explain.  Grinds does not contain any tobacco or nicotine.  It is actually a pouch containing coffee!  Grinds also contains Guarana, B-Vitamins and Taurine.  Grinds is a spit-free, and the saliva is safe to swallow.  They say you can spit with it, but you won't absorb as much energy.  Grinds advises that the best way to absorb the energy from the pouch is to actually swallow the saliva.  So, while you can spit if you choose to, you get more effect from Grinds if you don't!

When you open the can, rich, dark, slightly smoky notes of black coffee greet you.  While I don't drink coffee myself, I find myself enjoy the aroma of this one.  It's pretty present in nature!  The pouches are quite moist, moderately soft, and comfortable under the lip.  They have a solid drip to them, and a quick release of flavor!  The flavor is straight-up coffee.  It's lightly sweet, but dark in nature, and has a present taste of black coffee.  While not a coffee drinker, I still enjoy the flavor of this pouch.  I don't drink much caffeine, so in terms of the effect I feel a pretty solid jolt of energy from it.  In terms of flavor longevity, I find it to last around 40-45 minutes, on average!  A pretty solid amount of time.

Rating and Final Thoughts

While I'm not a coffee person, I still enjoyed the rich coffee flavor of this pouch.  This one rated in at 3.08 out of 5 for me.  A little lower, but I tend to like the flavored Grinds products more.  However, if you're a coffee fan, this one may be right up your alley.  While I'm a snus guy, and someone who enjoys tobacco, I still enjoy these.  Yes, they can help people quit dip.  But they also have a place with those of us who don't plan on quitting.  And even Mrs. Snubie agrees, they're also great for people who aren't tobacco users who are looking for a quick energy jolt.

If you want to try out their products, you can order from their website, GetGrinds.com, but they also have a store locator.  They have Grinds all over Arkansas, where I live, so it shouldn't be too hard to find locally, either!
