At $39.95 for 680 g, the per-kilo cost sits at $58.72, which is on the high side for a sampler. There is no subscription route to bring that figure down on repeat orders.

All three coffees are ground coarse and profiled for cold brew, so a recipient gets format-appropriate preparation from the start. Guatemala, Colombia and Peru each bring different characteristics, and roast levels vary across the set.

Cooper's Cask prints no roast date on the bags. A buyer cannot tell how recently the coffee was roasted, which matters more for cold brew than for espresso because extraction takes longer and stale grounds show.

The verdict

someone giving coffee to a person whose taste they only half know

Pros

  • Six cold brew filters ship inside the box, so the recipient can brew immediately without a separate purchase.
  • Three origins at varying roast levels give a cold brew drinker a genuine range to compare across one box.
  • Gift box packaging is confirmed, so no additional wrapping is needed before giving it.

Cons

  • Cooper's Cask prints no roast date on the bags, so a buyer cannot gauge freshness before the recipient opens the first one.
  • All three origins are Latin American, which limits geographic variety compared with sets that span multiple continents.
  • There is no subscription option, so repeat buyers pay the full per-kilo rate every time.
From $39.95

What is Cooper's Cask Cold Brew Box Set?

Three cold-brew-profiled coffees from Cooper's Cask, covering Guatemala, Colombia and Peru, sold together in a gift box for $39.95.

Cooper's Cask is a small-batch roaster that sells its coffees in ground and whole-bean formats. This set brings together three of its single-origin coffees, each selected and ground coarse specifically for cold brew preparation. The box is available year round rather than as a seasonal release.

Total net weight across the three bags is 680 g. Each bag is a standard portion, and the set ships with six cold brew filters, giving a recipient everything needed to brew without sourcing equipment separately. Ground or whole bean is chosen at checkout.

What's in the Cooper's Cask Cold Brew Box Set box

The box contains Guatemala, Colombia and Peru coffees, each ground coarse for cold brew, with roast levels that vary across the three.

Cooper's Cask profiles all three for cold brew rather than repurposing general-purpose roasts. That means grind size and roast development are matched to the slower, lower-temperature extraction that cold brew requires. The selection spans Latin America entirely, with no African or Asian origins in this set.

Roast levels are described as varying by coffee rather than fixed across the set, so a recipient moves through different intensity registers as they work through the box. That range makes it more useful as an introduction than a set locked to one roast level.

  • Guatemala: one of three Latin American origins in the set, roasted and ground coarse for cold brew extraction.
  • Colombia: a widely grown origin with enough natural sweetness to suit cold brew's drawn-out, low-acid extraction.
  • Peru: the third origin in the set, completing a Latin American trio that varies in roast level from the other two bags.

Is it better value than buying the bags?

Buying the Cold Brew Box Set costs more per kilo than the price table suggests at first glance, and there is no subscription to offset that.

At $39.95 for 680 g, the arithmetic puts the set at $58.72 per kilo. Buying the same three bags separately through Cooper's Cask would need to come in below that figure for the set to represent a saving, and with no subscription option the price does not improve on repeat orders.

What the $39.95 does buy is the gift box format and the six included cold brew filters. A giver who would otherwise add filters to a separate order is effectively paying for convenience and presentation, which is a reasonable exchange if the recipient does not already own cold brew equipment.

How it arrives, and what you choose

The set arrives in a gift box containing three bags and six cold brew filters, with ground or whole bean chosen at the point of purchase.

The packaging is described as a box, and gift packaging is confirmed. The six cold brew filters ship inside the same box, so the recipient has a complete starting kit. Nothing about the box's external finish or internal arrangement is detailed beyond that.

Format choice sits with the buyer at checkout rather than being fixed by the product. Ground coarse is the recommended option for cold brew, but whole bean is available for anyone who prefers to grind fresh. That decision does not affect the rest of what arrives.

  • Three bags totalling 680 g arrive in a confirmed gift box, ready to give without additional wrapping.
  • Six cold brew filters are included in the box, covering the first six brews without any extra purchase.
  • Ground or whole bean is selected at checkout, so the buyer can match the recipient's setup.

Cooper's Cask Cold Brew Box Set vs Cooper's Cask Espresso Box Set

The Cold Brew Box and the Espresso Box share the same price, weight and three-bag structure but differ in origin selection, grind and included extras.

Both sets cost $39.95, carry 680 g across three bags, arrive in a gift box and carry coffees at varying roast levels. The Cold Brew Box covers Guatemala, Colombia and Peru and includes six cold brew filters. The Espresso Box covers Kenya, Ethiopia and Brazil, with no extras included.

The Espresso Box reaches into Africa for two of its three origins, giving it wider geographic range. The Cold Brew Box stays in Latin America but adds a practical accessory. The choice comes down to the recipient's brew method and whether African origins matter to them.

  • Cold Brew Box wins on extras: six filters ship inside the box, the Espresso Box includes none.
  • Espresso Box wins on origin range: Kenya and Ethiopia add African diversity that the Cold Brew Box does not cover.
  • Cold Brew Box suits a recipient who brews cold or wants to start: the grind and filters are matched from the first bag.
  • Espresso Box suits an espresso or moka drinker who already owns a grinder and does not need brewing accessories.

Who should buy it (and who should not)

This set suits a giver who knows the recipient brews cold coffee and wants to hand over something complete and ready to use.

The included filters lower the barrier for someone who is new to cold brew, and the three-origin selection gives them enough variety to form preferences without committing to a large bag of any single coffee. A gift box format means no additional wrapping is needed.

It is the wrong choice for a recipient who brews espresso or filter hot coffee, since the coarse grind is matched to cold extraction and switching brew method would mean buying a separate grind. Anyone who cares about roast date transparency will also find the bags silent on that point.

Buy it if

  • You know the recipient drinks cold brew and does not already own filters.
  • You want a complete, boxed gift that needs nothing added before the first brew.
  • You are introducing someone to Latin American single-origin coffees across more than one roast level.

Skip it if

  • The recipient brews espresso or hot filter coffee and would need to regrind the coarse-ground bags.
  • You are buying a repeat gift and want a subscription price to make the per-kilo cost more reasonable.
  • The recipient prioritises knowing how recently their coffee was roasted before brewing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Cooper's Cask Cold Brew Box Set worth it as a gift?

At $39.95 it delivers three origin coffees, a gift box and six cold brew filters in one purchase. A giver who would otherwise buy filters separately gets real convenience here. The per-kilo cost is on the high side, so the value is strongest when the recipient is new to cold brew and does not already own the accessories.

Cooper's Cask Cold Brew Box Set vs Cooper's Cask Espresso Box Set: which should I buy?

Both cost $39.95 and contain three bags at 680 g total. The Cold Brew Box covers Guatemala, Colombia and Peru and includes six filters. The Espresso Box covers Kenya, Ethiopia and Brazil with no extras. Buy the Cold Brew Box for a cold brew drinker who needs accessories. Buy the Espresso Box for an espresso drinker who wants wider geographic variety.

What grind size do the cold brew bags come in?

Cooper's Cask grinds all three coffees coarse, which is the correct grind size for cold brew immersion and filter extraction. If the recipient prefers to grind fresh, whole bean is available as an alternative at checkout. Choosing whole bean means they will need a grinder capable of a coarse setting to get the intended result.

How many brews do you get from the box?

The set contains 680 g across three bags. At 15 g per serving that works out to roughly 45 cups, though cold brew recipes vary and some use considerably more coffee per batch than a single hot-brew serving. Six filters are included, covering the first six filter-based cold brew batches without any additional purchase.

Can you get this as a subscription?

Cooper's Cask does not offer a subscription version of this set. Each order is a one-time purchase at $39.95. Buyers who want to reorder regularly will pay the same rate each time. For a recipient who drinks cold brew daily, a single-bag subscription from the roaster's main range may be a more cost-effective long-term option.

What countries do the coffees in the cold brew set come from?

The three coffees are sourced from Guatemala, Colombia and Peru, all in Latin America. Roast levels vary across the three bags rather than being fixed at a single level. The Espresso Box from the same roaster covers Kenya, Ethiopia and Brazil if a recipient or giver wants origins from outside Latin America.
