Black Rifle Indulgent Flavored Coffee Bundle Gift Set Review

someone buying a present for a coffee drinker whose taste they only half know

The Black Rifle Coffee Company's Indulgent Flavored Coffee Bundle pairs two flavoured medium-roast coffees, Salty Caramel and Dark Chocolate, in 11 oz bags. It sells for $28.78 in ground or K-Cup format. It sits in the gift-set bracket, aimed at buyers looking for a flavoured coffee pairing rather than a roast-spanning sampler.

Variety & How Well It Introduces the Range4.0 / 10
worth 26 of 69.4 · well evidenced

Two bags, both medium roast, both flavoured. A buyer gets a tight, dessert-forward pairing rather than a tour of Black Rifle's range. Fine if the recipient likes sweet coffees, limiting if they want contrast.

Value Against Buying the Bags Separately7.0 / 10

Buying the two bags together saves $3.20 against picking them up separately, which is a real if modest discount. There is no subscription option, so that saving is a one-time deal.

Quality of the Coffees Inside
20 pts · not scored from specs

Both coffees are flavoured and medium roast. Salty Caramel leads sweet with a savoury edge, while Dark Chocolate sits on the richer, bitter side of sweet. A buyer should expect dessert-style cups rather than anything sharp or fruit-forward.

why there is no number here

what this measures, and what we cannot

needs a judgement that no published spec stands in for. Its 20 points are taken out of the total rather than scored as a zero, so the overall rating is out of what we could check. This neither helps nor hurts the product.

Presentation & Gift Readiness5.0 / 10
worth 14.4 of 69.4 · 3.6 unpublished · thinly evidenced

Two bags arrive without any described outer packaging or gift-ready enclosure. For a gift giver, that means the bags are the presentation, which is functional but puts the burden of wrapping on the buyer.

Roast dates are not printed on the bags, so a recipient has no way to gauge how recently the coffee was roasted. Buyers who prioritise freshness transparency should factor that in before purchasing.

Ground2 x 11oz$28.78$46.15$0.69
K-Cups2 boxes of 12ct$24.28$1.01
How these prices are worked out
  • Prices are the roaster’s own, and they change.
  • A pod box has no per-kilo figure. It is priced per cup, and dividing by a guessed pod weight would be a made-up number.
  • Per cup for a bag is worked out at 15 g of coffee a cup, which is a stated convention rather than a measurement. Pods are exact, because the count is printed on the box.
The verdict

someone buying a present for a coffee drinker whose taste they only half know

Pros

  • Saves $3.20 against buying the two bags separately, so the bundle price is the cheaper route for anyone who wants both.
  • Available as K-Cups as well as ground, so a recipient with a Keurig-compatible machine is not excluded.
  • The caramel and chocolate pairing creates a coherent gift theme without the buyer having to select bags individually.

Cons

  • Only two bags in the set, both at the same roast level, which gives a recipient very little range to explore.
  • Roast dates are not printed, so there is no way to know how recently the coffee was roasted before opening a bag.
  • No subscription option means the modest bundle saving cannot be applied to repeat purchases.
From $28.78

What is Black Rifle Indulgent Flavored Coffee Bundle?

This is a two-bag flavoured coffee set from Black Rifle Coffee Company, sold year-round at $28.78 in ground or K-Cup formats.

Black Rifle Coffee Company is a US veteran-founded roaster known for bold branding and a wide catalogue of blends and flavoured coffees. The Indulgent bundle sits at the sweeter, more approachable end of their range, pairing two medium-roast flavoured options into a single purchase.

The set contains one 11 oz bag of Salty Caramel and one 11 oz bag of Dark Chocolate, totalling 624 g of coffee. Both bags are available in ground or K-Cup format, chosen at checkout. It is sold year-round, not as a seasonal release.

What's in the Black Rifle Indulgent Flavored Coffee Bundle box

The box contains two 11 oz medium-roast flavoured coffees, one salted caramel and one dark chocolate, both from Black Rifle Coffee Company.

Both coffees share a medium roast level, so the selection stays consistent in body and intensity. There is no light or dark roast in the pairing to create contrast across the spectrum. What varies is the flavour direction, with one leaning sweet-savoury and the other leaning rich and bitter-sweet.

For a recipient who enjoys flavoured coffee, the two bags offer a sensible pairing. For someone who prefers unflavoured single-origin or dark espresso-style roasts, neither bag will suit. A giver should be confident the recipient likes added flavour before choosing this set.

  • Salty Caramel is a medium-roast flavoured coffee with a sweet caramel profile cut by a savoury, salted finish.
  • Dark Chocolate is a medium-roast flavoured coffee built around a rich, bitter-sweet cocoa note rather than a fruity or floral character.
  • Both roasts sit at the same medium level, meaning cup strength and body will be similar across both bags.

Is it better value than buying the bags?

Buying the two bags together costs $3.20 less than purchasing each separately, making the bundle a modest but genuine saving.

At $28.78 for 624 g of coffee, the price per kilo works out to $46.15. The ground format, dosed at 15 g a cup, comes to roughly $0.69 per cup. The K-Cup option, at $24.28 for two boxes of 12 cups, works out to $1.01 per cup, a figure that is exact because the cup count is printed on the box.

There is no subscription option, so the $3.20 saving against separate bags is available only as a one-off purchase. For a buyer returning regularly for both flavours, the absence of a subscription means that discount cannot be locked in over time.

How it arrives, and what you choose

Two 11 oz bags arrive in the format chosen at checkout, either ground or K-Cups, with no described outer gift packaging.

At checkout the buyer selects ground or K-Cup. Ground gives two resealable bags totalling 624 g of coffee. K-Cups give two boxes of 12 pods each. The choice is fixed at the point of purchase, so a buyer cannot mix one bag of each format in a single order.

Black Rifle does not describe any dedicated gift enclosure for this set. The bags or pod boxes are the physical delivery. A buyer intending this as a gift should plan to add their own wrapping.

  • Ground option delivers two 11 oz resealable bags, totalling 624 g of coffee ready for any brewer.
  • K-Cup option delivers two boxes of 12 pods each, suited to a recipient who uses a Keurig-compatible machine.
  • Format is selected at checkout and cannot be split between bag types within the same order.

Black Rifle Indulgent Flavored Coffee Bundle vs Black Rifle Dark Roast Bundle

The Indulgent bundle offers two flavoured medium-roast bags while the Dark Roast Bundle gives three unflavoured dark-roast bags at a lower per-kilo price.

The Dark Roast Bundle contains three 12 oz bags, Beyond Black, Tactisquatch, and Blackbeard's Delight, spanning a single dark roast level but covering three distinct blends. At $44.94 for 1,021 g, it saves $5.10 against buying the bags separately and lands at $44.94 per kilo. It is the larger, better-per-kilo purchase.

The Indulgent set suits a buyer whose recipient enjoys sweet, flavoured cups at a medium roast and is unlikely to want a straight, unflavoured dark roast. The Dark Roast Bundle suits a buyer whose recipient drinks their coffee black and wants to explore different blends rather than added flavours.

  • The Dark Roast Bundle wins on quantity, three bags against two, and on the saving against separate purchases.
  • The Dark Roast Bundle wins for recipients who drink unflavoured coffee, as neither Indulgent bag suits that preference.
  • The Indulgent set wins for recipients who specifically enjoy caramel or chocolate-flavoured coffees at a medium roast level.
  • The Indulgent bundle wins on upfront price, at $28.78 against $44.94, for a buyer on a tighter gift budget.

Who should buy it (and who should not)

This set suits a giver who knows their recipient drinks flavoured medium-roast coffee and wants a themed, dessert-style pairing.

The sweet-savoury and rich-chocolate pairing works well for someone who already reaches for flavoured coffee regularly. A giver who has seen the recipient order caramel or mocha drinks is on safe ground here.

It is the wrong choice for a recipient who drinks their coffee black and strong, prefers single-origin or unflavoured blends, or uses a brewer that does not accept ground or K-Cup coffee. Two bags is also a thin selection for someone who wants to explore a roaster's range.

Buy it if

  • You know the recipient actively enjoys caramel or chocolate-flavoured coffee rather than tolerating it.
  • You want a single, cohesive flavour-themed gift under $30 without committing to a large coffee order.
  • The recipient uses a Keurig-compatible machine and the K-Cup format suits their setup.

Skip it if

  • The recipient drinks unflavoured coffee and would find a sweet-flavoured medium roast unappealing.
  • You want to introduce the recipient to a roaster's breadth, because two bags at the same roast level does not achieve that.
  • Freshness dating matters to the recipient, as the bags carry no roast date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Black Rifle Indulgent Flavored Coffee Bundle good for someone who doesn't usually drink flavoured coffee?

Probably not. Both bags, Salty Caramel and Dark Chocolate, are intentionally flavoured at medium roast and lead with sweet, dessert-style notes. A recipient who prefers straight, unflavoured coffee is unlikely to enjoy either bag. This set works best when the giver already knows the recipient reaches for flavoured options.

Black Rifle Indulgent Flavored Coffee Bundle vs Black Rifle Dark Roast Bundle: which is better value?

The Dark Roast Bundle is the better-value purchase. It contains three 12 oz bags for $44.94, saving $5.10 against separate prices at $44.94 per kilo. The Indulgent set saves $3.20 against separate prices and costs $46.15 per kilo across its two 11 oz bags. The Dark Roast Bundle also delivers more total coffee for the price.

Can you get the flavoured coffee bundle as K-Cups?

Yes. At checkout the buyer chooses between ground or K-Cup format. The K-Cup option delivers two boxes of 12 pods each, one Salty Caramel and one Dark Chocolate, compatible with Keurig-style machines. The two formats are not mixable within a single order, so buyers need to commit to one at checkout.

How many cups does the Indulgent bundle make?

The two 11 oz bags together contain 624 g of ground coffee. Dosed at 15 g per cup, that works out to roughly 41 cups across the set. If bought as K-Cups instead, each box contains 12 pods, giving 24 cups total. The K-Cup count is exact; the ground figure depends on the dose used.

What roast level is the Black Rifle flavoured bundle?

Both coffees in the set are medium roast. There is no light or dark option in this pairing. Buyers looking for a dark, bold cup would be better served by the Dark Roast Bundle, which contains three dark-roast blends. The medium roast here is designed to carry the caramel and chocolate flavourings without overpowering them.

Does the flavoured coffee bundle come with a roast date on the bags?

The bags do not carry a printed roast date. A recipient opening the set will have no way to determine how recently the coffee was roasted. Buyers for whom freshness transparency is important should factor that into their decision before purchasing either bag in this set.
