ZYN Coffee Nicotine Pouches

ZYN Coffee is a smooth coffee pouch with chocolate and nougat worked into it, offered in two strengths that sit either side of ZYN's format split: 6mg in the Mini pouch and 11mg in the longer Slim. A Mini can gives you 20 pouches, a Slim can gives you 21, and neither holds tobacco leaf. Both are produced by Swedish Match North Europe AB, part of Philip Morris International.

What Coffee tastes like

Roasted coffee is the base, and it is a smooth reading of it rather than a bitter one. Chocolate sits alongside, and nougat brings the sweeter, creamier edge that stops the whole thing turning dry. Nothing fruity or cooling runs through it.

Format changes the pacing: the Mini stretches the coffee note out, the Slim brings it forward early. At the other end of the flavour list, ZYN Black Cherry Nicotine Pouches go for cherry with forest berries and vanilla across four strengths. Everything else is listed in our ZYN collection, with other labels under nicotine pouches.

Mini or Slim, and which one this is

These two cans are not one product with a different number on the lid. The 6mg is a Mini. That pouch weighs 0.4g, is dry when you pick it up, is short enough to tuck away unnoticed and lets its nicotine out slowly and evenly. Twenty fill a can of 8g net, and the lid shows up to 2 dots.

The 11mg is a Slim, which ZYN also calls Regular. That pouch weighs 0.7g, feels slightly moist between the fingers, runs longer along the gum line and works faster. Twenty one fill a can of 14.7g net, and the lid shows 3 to 6 dots.

Here is the bit missed in every spec table elsewhere. The change of format happens between 6mg and 9mg: 6mg and below is Mini, 9mg and above is Slim. Coffee straddles that line, so choosing between these cans decides pouch size, moisture and speed as well as strength.

What the strength numbers mean

ZYN prints milligrams per pouch on the can, not a per gram figure. A can from a brand that labels per gram can look stronger or weaker than it really is beside a ZYN.

For Coffee the sums are short. The 6mg Mini divided by its 0.4g pouch weight gives a concentration of 15mg per gram. The 11mg Slim divided by its 0.7g pouch weight gives 15.7mg per gram. Concentration is almost identical, so the real gap is how much pouch there is: the 11mg holds nearly twice the nicotine.

How to use ZYN pouches

1. Take a single pouch from the top of the can and tuck it under your upper lip.
2. Let it sit undisturbed. Chewing or swallowing it is not how it works.
3. A tingling feeling early on is normal and settles after a short while.
4. After around 30 minutes, remove it and put it in the lid compartment, which stores used pouches until you reach a bin.

ZYN Coffee Nicotine Pouches FAQs

Is ZYN snus?

It is not, though the search term is everywhere. Real snus is made with tobacco leaf and is banned from sale in the UK as an oral tobacco product. ZYN contains no tobacco leaf, and that is why it can be sold here.

How many pouches are in each can?

The 6mg Mini can holds 20, the 11mg Slim can holds 21.

How long do you keep one in for?

ZYN's guidance is around 30 minutes.

Which should I pick, Mini or Slim?

Mini for a discreet 0.4g pouch with a gentle build; Slim for a 0.7g pouch that gets going quickly and carries more nicotine.

Safety and age restriction

Nicotine is addictive. Sale is restricted to adults aged 18 and over, and these pouches are meant only for people who already use nicotine products. They are not suitable for non smokers, and they should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. No nicotine product is risk free. Keep cans away from children and animals, and discontinue use if you start to feel unwell.
