Grinds come in three flavors; mocha, mint chocolate and cinnamon roll. It comes packaged in a black plastic can with the corresponding color of each flavor in the front. There is also a little hidden compartment on the top of the… read more
Feel
The feel is a dead ringer for regular dip pouches. It feels good against the gums and I had no irritation from it after several uses.
Burn
For those that want a burn to stimulate the real thing, this is not for you at all. It is coffee and it doesn’t pretend to be anything else. There is no burn whatsoever so it may not be realistic enough for some as a replacement.
Clean-up
Although any product usually has an equivalent clean-up to real dip, this product gets a strike because pouches are not meant to release grinds in your mouth. One of the purposes of the pouch is to avoid clean-up. After ten minutes, the pouch always fails.
Spitability
The spit produced is moderate. It is less than real dip, but not by much. It is the same color and consistency that you have come to expect from your old mouth killer. I found it better to swallow it though, and considering the flavor, you probably will too.
Flavor
The flavors are very good and the chocolate mint is truly fantastic, but as it relates to the “real” thing it is no comparison. I had to give this a 3 because although it doesn’t taste anything like real dip, it doesn’t pretend to and is really good. If you don’t like coffee, or if you are looking for a more realistic alternative, this is not the product for you.
Availability
That I know of, there are no outside retailers. If anyone has information to the contrary I will adjust this score, but as far as the website goes, this is an online only product. This means that you have to stock up when you order and keep a can just about everywhere to avoid forgetting it and being left on your own.
In Conclusion:
Good product that is great for coffee lovers. Pouches are ineffective, and availability is something that needs improved to make this product a high scorer. The flavors are excellent and it is a great way to get a little energy boost as well.
