The coffee swap
Coffee does a job. But the run costs money, the dose changes from cup to cup, and you can't sip one through a meeting. Keep your morning cup if you love it. Here are 7 reasons to try a pouch for the rest of the day.
Coffee caffeine: Which? high-street test, 2023. Flint figures are per pouch.
01
The cost
A coffee on the way back from lunch, another at 3. It's a few euro each time, and it's every working day.
A Flint pouch costs €0.40 on a single 5-pack, or €0.35 on three 5-packs. A tin of 20 sits in your pocket or desk drawer, so there's no run to make.
From €0.35 a pouch. No queue.
02
How it works
No kettle, no café, no cup going cold on your desk. Flint is a small pouch that sits under your top lip while you get on with things, and the caffeine absorbs through your gum.
Nothing to make, nothing to wash.
03
Anywhere
Back-to-back meetings. A long drive. A train with no trolley. These are the moments you can't stop for a coffee, and cracking a can mid-call isn't ideal either.
A pouch has nothing to open, pour or sip. It sits under your lip, and nobody in the meeting needs to know.
20 pouches in a tin that fits your pocket.
04
The dose
Your coffee depends on where you buy it. When Which? tested high-street coffees in 2023, caffeine ranged from 33mg to 325mg a cup, almost ten times apart.
A Flint pouch is 100mg, every time, printed on the tin.
So you know what you've had and can count your day. EFSA's safe limit for healthy adults is 400mg a day, so up to 3 pouches leaves you room.
05
The 3pm wall
Lunch is done, the inbox isn't, and 3pm hits like a wall. That's the moment Flint is made for.
Each pouch has four B-vitamins at 50% NRV.
Vitamins B6 and B12, folate and pantothenic acid contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Pantothenic acid also contributes to normal mental performance. That's the EU-authorised wording, word for word.
06
The label
Plenty of focus products list their ingredients and hide the amounts. Flint prints every one:
Alpha-GPC isn't in it, because it has no EU novel food authorisation.
No nicotine. No proprietary blend.
07
Returns
Trying something new shouldn't be a gamble. If Flint isn't for you, return unopened tins within 14 days of delivery for a refund. Opened one? Get in touch through the contact form and tell us what happened.
14-day returns. No restocking fee.
We can't promise how it'll feel for you, and EU rules don't let any brand claim an effect for caffeine, L-theanine or citicoline. What we can tell you is exactly what's in each pouch, printed on the tin. The B-vitamins are the part with an authorised claim: vitamins B6 and B12, folate and pantothenic acid contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. If it's not for you, you have 14 days to return unopened tins.
Each pouch has 100mg. EFSA says up to 400mg a day, and up to 200mg in one go, is fine for healthy adults. So stick to 3 pouches a day at most, and count any coffee or energy drinks too. If caffeine doesn't agree with you, a pouch won't change that. Start with one and see how you get on.
100mg is a fixed dose, so you can count it. EFSA notes that caffeine close to bedtime can affect sleep, so have your last pouch at least 6 hours before bed.
Up to 20 minutes. Then take it out and bin it.
No. Flint has no nicotine and no tobacco.
It's not for under-18s, or anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have a health condition or take medication, check with your doctor first.
