In the present embodiment,coffee pouch 100 is a small rectangular pouch measuring three quarters of an inch high, half an inch long, and three-sixteenths of an inch wide. However, alternate embodiments may be various different shapes and sizes, for example, without limitation round pouches. In the present embodiment,coffee pouch 100 is made of the same material found in coffee filters and filled with ground coffee beans. Alternate embodiments may be made of other materials such as, but not limited to, material used in tea bags, cheesecloth, mesh, or other permeable materials. In the present embodiment, folded ends 105 ofcoffee pouch 100 are sealed in order to retain the ground coffee beans withincoffee pouch 100.

Coffee pouch 100 is small, portable, and has all the taste of a cup of coffee without the need for water or a cup. In typical use of the present embodiment, an individual placescoffee pouch 100 in their mouth and chewscoffee pouch 100. The chewing action releases the flavor and caffeine from the ground coffee beans incoffee pouch 100. Embodiments of the present invention may be sold as single pouches, or in multi-packs, for example, without limitation, packs of twenty-five pouches. Coffee pouches according to embodiments of the present invention may be used by many types of individuals for example, without limitation, astronauts, military personnel, coffee lovers, or anyone that can use a jolt of caffeine in order to stay alert or awake. - Having fully described at least one embodiment of the present invention, other equivalent or alternative methods of providing the experience of consuming coffee without water according to the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The invention has been described above by way of illustration, and the specific embodiments disclosed are not intended to limit the invention to the particular forms disclosed. For example, the particular implementation of the coffee pouch may vary depending upon the particular type of use intended. The coffee pouches described in the foregoing were directed to chewable implementations; however, similar techniques are to provide smaller coffee pouches that fit between the cheek and gum that are designed to be sucked rather than chewed. Non-chewable implementations of the present invention are contemplated as within the scope of the present invention. The invention is thus to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the following claims.
