FAQs
A caffeine pouch is a small, pre-measured pouch you place between your upper lip and gum.
The caffeine absorbs directly through the lining of your mouth into your bloodstream — no drinking, no brewing, no swallowing.
Each pouch delivers a controlled dose of caffeine (the same compound in coffee and energy drinks) with zero sugar and zero calories. Think of it as your caffeine, minus the drink.
Yes, completely. Caffeine pouches are a food product — they're in an entirely different category to nicotine pouches, which are prescription-only under Australian TGA regulations.
They contain caffeine, flavouring, and food-grade ingredients — that's it.
No. Zero nicotine, zero tobacco, no connection to smoking, vaping, or snus.
We get asked this a lot because the pouch format looks similar to nicotine pouches, but the only active ingredient is caffeine — the same stimulant you're already consuming in coffee and energy drinks, just delivered in a more convenient way.
Open the tin, grab a pouch, and tuck it between your upper lip and gum.
That's it — no chewing, no swallowing, just leave it in place. You'll feel a slight tingle as the caffeine starts absorbing. When you're done, take it out and bin it.
Your first pouch might feel a bit unfamiliar sitting under your lip — that's completely normal.
Most people notice a mild tingle or warming sensation within the first minute or two, which is the caffeine starting to absorb. After a few minutes, you'll likely forget it's even there. The energy builds gradually — don't expect an energy drink-style rush, it's more of a clean, steady focus.
Anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on how strong you want the effect.
Most people find 20–30 minutes is the sweet spot. If it's your first time, start with 15 minutes and work up from there. Once you're done, just take it out and dispose of it.
Most people feel it within 5–10 minutes.
Because the caffeine absorbs through the lining of your mouth rather than travelling through your digestive system, it reaches your bloodstream faster than coffee or energy drinks, which typically take 20–45 minutes. It's not instant, but it's noticeably quicker than waiting for a coffee to do its job.
It depends on the product — our pouches range from 75mg to 150mg per pouch.
For reference, a standard flat white sits around 100–130mg and a 500ml energy drink around 150–160mg. Each tin tells you exactly how much caffeine is in each pouch, so you always know what you're getting — no guesswork like with coffee.
Most health guidance suggests staying under 400mg of caffeine per day for healthy adults — that's roughly 3–4 pouches depending on the strength, or about the same as 3–4 strong coffees.
We recommend spacing them at least 3–4 hours apart. If you're new to pouches, start with one and see how you feel before reaching for a second.
Anyone under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and anyone with caffeine sensitivity or heart and blood pressure concerns. If you're currently on medication, it's worth checking with your doctor first — just as you would with any caffeine product.
These pouches contain real caffeine at real doses, so treat them with the same respect you'd give coffee or energy drinks.
Unlikely. The pouches are slim and sit flat against your gum, so there's very little visible change.
Most users say they've had full conversations, meetings, and customer-facing shifts without anyone noticing. It's one of the main reasons people prefer them over carrying a can or cup around.
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on first orders.
If the taste, the feel, or the format just isn't for you, reach out and we'll refund you — no questions asked. We'd rather you try it risk-free than never find out whether it could replace your $5 coffees and sugar-loaded energy drinks.
