Grinds Coffee Pouches - 6 Can Sampler Pack - Mint Chocolate, Mocha, Cinnamon Roll (2x each) - Tobacco Free, Nicotine Free Healthy Alternative

I wish these were available in more places or at least that I could buy single favors with prime. Taste is good, it's not dry, and not overwhelming with caffeine.

I've been chewing tobacco and dipping for over ten years. A couple years ago I transitioned to the Marlboro snus since the pouches and no need to spit would really benefit me at work. I recently decided to quit but I still need something behind my lip. I ordered this and the cowboy coffee chew. I've been using this for a few days now so I'll list my pros and cons so far.Pro's:Easy to use pouches just grab and go. I use two at a time.Pouches last a while before breaking open. This was a big factor. My Marlboro snus would only last about twenty minutes before busting. I'm averaging about 45 minutes with these.Cons:The can. It's very flimsy and has opened up unintentionally. This could cause a problem in khaki shorts.Taste. The chocolate mint is ok. The mocha is ok. Cinnamon roll flavor I guess came from a cinnamon roll found in an old land fill somewhere. They all lack in flavor.No energy. I didn't buy these for the supposed energy boost. I use two at a time and feel nothing at all. I usually don't do coffee or caffeine often because I get wired.Overall my favorite thing about these are the simplicity of pouches. The flavor lacks and the can is extremely cheap feeling. Between this and the cowboy coffee chew the cowboy wins flavor by a long shot and the can is very sturdy. Which will I order again? I'm not sure. If cowboy could put their flavor in a pouch then it would win hands down and I'd never dip again.

I'm not a tobacco user, I'm just someone looking for a caffeine fix. This looked like an interesting and convenient alternative to expensive energy drinks and nasty caffeinated gum.The Mint Chocolate is my favorite flavor. It has a nice cooling mintiness and a hint of chocolate. It's not terribly strong, unfortunately, and only lasts about 30-45 minutes.The Mocha flavor has a mild hint of chocolate and coffee. The flavor is good, but not really great. It's not very strong, either.I was very disappointed with the Cinnamon Roll flavor. I've read reviews elsewhere that described it as tasting like it was fresh from the bakery, but to me it only tasted like wet cardboard. Yuck! Luckily the flavor isn't too intense and only lasted about 30 minutes.The packages come with a little storage area on the top. It's intended for you to temporarily store a used pouch if you don't have a garbage can handy. Or you could just swallow the pouch, they're just paper and coffee grounds.Each pouch is equal to about 1/4 cup of coffee, so it doesn't really give you a bit hit of caffeine like an energy drink would, but it's kinda nice when you want just a little something to tide you over in the afternoon.Some of the other reviewers had problems with the pouches coming open, but I didn't experience this issue. Perhaps the manufacturer has improved their quality control.

Absolutely Terriable.

Was exited when I heard about this product on sports center claiming major league baseball players were starting to use grinds instead of chew. After trying the product, each and every bag breaks in about 5 minutes and the flavor of all three are bland at best. Hardly any flavor in this disappointing product. Heard of another product called teaza, which blows away grinds in every category. Grinds is a waste of money.

Works great, tastes great - I think they're onto something here! I got this for my son-in-law, who also got some for his brother. They both like it and were previously into "chew". This is a lot healthier! A Bit pricey though!!!

It's tough to rate this product since there's really not much else out there like it. I can see how it would be beneficial for somebody trying to quit using smokeless tobacco. If you're looking for an energy boost, though, this isn't your best bet. The creators have said that each pouch is the equivalent of 1/4 a cup of coffee. That means you'd have to pop four of them in your mouth just to get the caffeine boost of a cup of coffee...that'd be quite a mouthful.All of the flavors taste good, but the chocolate mint is my favorite. I bought my sampler pack in the fall of 2013. I had a high percentage (probably 35-40%) of the cinnamon roll flavored pouches open up in either my mouth or the can. I emailed the manufacturer and was told that they were having a problem we that flavor that should be ironed out in the early part of 2014.One other issue. I had with the product was the shape. I've used pouch products in the past (Snus, specifically), that had a longer, thinner shape which fit along the gum line much better. These pouches are more square and do not fit as comfortably or unobtrusively in the mouth.I would like this product a lot better at a lower price (maybe around $3 a can instead of $4).

Good: these taste amazing. They really have a great coffee flavor mixed with whatever other flavor they say. They do satisfy the need to have something in your cheek, and offer a good physical substitute for tobacco, however anyone who chews knows that there is no actual substitute. So don't buy these thinking they will help you quit, buy them as an alternative if you do not need to dip all the time but enjoy the sensation of itBad: the pouches break way too easily, causing coffee grinds to get all over your mouth. And they are fine cut, so they make a mess. The coffee is also not very strong, but then again this might not be a problem of the product, it takes an awful lot of coffee to give me a buzzOverall I found that I enjoyed them, and would buy them again due to the fact that I like the flavor, I chew situationally, not habitually and therefore these satisfied my need to chew when I otherwise would have gone to tobacco. It wold be nice if they could make a long cut version, without the pouch, and maybe a little higher caffeine content
