Four full-size bags spanning the roaster's most popular single origins gives a giver genuine breadth. A recipient who drinks light and dark will find something here, making it a practical introduction rather than a themed collection.

Value Against Buying the Bags Separately6.0 / 10
worth 22 of 69.4 · well evidenced

Buying the four bags in this set separately costs $9.15 more, so the box actually saves money. For a giver who wants presentation and savings together, that arithmetic is unusual and worth noting.

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

The set draws from Cooper's Cask's most popular single origins across four full-size bags. A recipient gets a genuine cross-section of what the roaster does well, rather than a curated niche, which suits an exploratory drinker more than a committed specialist.

Cooper's Cask prints no roast date on these bags, so a recipient cannot tell how recently the coffee was roasted. For a buyer who prioritises freshness transparency, that is a genuine limitation compared with roasters who stamp every bag.

The verdict

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

Pros

  • Four full-size 12-ounce bags total 1,361 grams, making it one of the more generous gift sets at this price point.
  • Buying the set saves $9.15 against purchasing the same four bags individually, which is rare in the gift set category.
  • Ground or whole bean is chosen at checkout, so the giver can match the format to the recipient's equipment.
  • Roast levels vary across the four coffees, giving a recipient genuine range rather than four versions of the same style.

Cons

  • Cooper's Cask prints no roast date on the bags, so a recipient cannot gauge how recently the coffee was roasted.
  • The set has no subscription option, so a giver who wants to repeat the gift regularly must reorder it manually each time.
  • Three bags fewer than the Single Origin set, the Cold Brew set also includes filters, so buyers wanting a more complete starter gift may find this set comparatively bare.
From $84.95

What is Cooper's Cask Single Origin Box Set 48oz?

This is a four-bag gift set from Cooper's Cask containing full-size single-origin coffees totalling 1,361 grams across the whole box.

Cooper's Cask is a specialty roaster that sells its coffees year-round without seasonal rotations. The set collects four of the roaster's most popular single origins into one gift-ready box, available in ground or whole bean format depending on what the buyer selects at checkout.

At $84.95 for 1,361 grams, the per-kilo figure works out to $62.43. Each bag is a full-size 12-ounce portion rather than a sample, which means a recipient gets a proper amount of each coffee to brew through at their own pace.

What's in the Cooper's Cask Single Origin Box Set 48oz box

The box holds four of Cooper's Cask's most popular single-origin coffees, each a full-size bag representing a different origin.

Cooper's Cask describes the selection as its most popular single origins, which points toward coffees that have performed well with a broad range of drinkers rather than unusual or experimental lots. Roast levels vary across the four bags, so the set is not locked to one end of the spectrum.

Because the roast levels vary by coffee, a recipient who currently drinks only light roasts or only dark roasts will still encounter something outside their usual range. That breadth is the point of the set, and it suits someone who is curious rather than someone who already knows exactly what they want.

  • Four single-origin coffees drawn from the roaster's most popular offerings, each representing a distinct growing region.
  • Roast levels vary across the four bags, so the set spans more than one style rather than concentrating on a single roast profile.
  • Each bag is a full 12-ounce portion, giving the recipient enough coffee to form a genuine impression of each origin.
  • The set is not flavoured, so all four coffees reflect the natural character of their respective origins without additives.

Is it better value than buying the bags?

Buying the four bags in this set costs $9.15 less than purchasing the same bags individually from Cooper's Cask.

At $84.95 for 1,361 grams, the set works out to $62.43 per kilo. That figure is lower than what a buyer would pay building the same selection bag by bag, which is the opposite of what most gift sets do. The saving is modest but real, and it means the presentation comes at no premium.

There is no subscription option attached to the set, so a buyer cannot convert it into a recurring delivery after the initial purchase. Someone who wants to send a regular coffee gift would need to arrange that separately through the roaster's individual bag listings.

How it arrives, and what you choose

The set arrives in a gift box containing four full-size bags, with ground or whole bean chosen by the buyer at checkout.

Cooper's Cask packages the set in a gift box, which means the outer packaging is ready to hand over without additional wrapping. The format choice, ground or whole bean, is made at checkout rather than being fixed by the set itself, so the buyer can match it to the recipient's equipment.

Each of the four bags is a 12-ounce full-size portion. The total weight across the box is 1,361 grams. Nothing beyond the coffee bags and the outer box is described as included.

  • Four 12-ounce bags arrive together in a single gift-ready outer box.
  • Ground or whole bean is selected at checkout, letting the giver match the format to the recipient's grinder situation.
  • The outer packaging is described as a box, so it arrives in a form that can be given directly without re-wrapping.
  • No accessories or extras are included alongside the coffee bags.

Cooper's Cask Single Origin Box Set 48oz vs Cooper's Cask Cold Brew Box Set

The Single Origin set is heavier and slightly cheaper per kilo, while the Cold Brew set is smaller, costs less upfront, and includes brewing filters.

The Single Origin set contains 1,361 grams across four bags at $84.95, working out to $62.43 per kilo. The Cold Brew set contains 680 grams across three bags at $58.72, working out to $86.36 per kilo. A giver on a tighter budget will spend less on the Cold Brew set, but pays more per gram of coffee.

The Cold Brew set includes six cold brew filters, which gives a recipient without cold brew equipment a way to start immediately. The Single Origin set includes no extras but saves the giver money relative to buying the same bags separately, which the Cold Brew set comparison does not offer.

  • Single Origin wins on volume: 1,361 grams versus 680 grams for a gift that needs to feel substantial.
  • Cold Brew set wins on upfront cost at $58.72, a meaningful difference for a giver with a set budget.
  • Cold Brew set wins on completeness: the six included filters mean the recipient can brew immediately without extra purchases.
  • Single Origin wins on per-bag value, undercutting the separate bag prices, while the Cold Brew set costs more per kilo.

Who should buy it (and who should not)

This set suits a giver who wants a generous, ready-to-wrap coffee gift for someone who already owns a grinder or prefers pre-ground.

Four full-size bags covering different origins and roast levels make this a practical gift for a regular coffee drinker who goes through coffee steadily. The saving against separate bags means a giver gets presentation and value at the same time, which is not typical of the gift set category.

It is the wrong choice for someone buying for a cold brew drinker who needs equipment guidance, or for a giver whose recipient is locked into a single roast level and would not use three of the four bags. Someone who needs roast date information to feel confident about freshness will also find the set frustrating.

Buy it if

  • You want a gift that feels generous in volume without overspending on presentation markup.
  • Your recipient drinks across different roast levels and will genuinely work through four distinct coffees.
  • You need a format choice, ground or whole bean, to match the recipient's actual setup.

Skip it if

  • Your recipient only ever drinks one roast level and would leave most of the set untouched.
  • You are buying for a cold brew drinker, where the Cold Brew set includes the filters they need to get started.
  • Knowing exactly when the coffee was roasted matters to the person you are buying for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Cooper's Cask Single Origin Box Set 48oz good for someone who already has a grinder?

Yes. At checkout the buyer chooses ground or whole bean, so someone with a grinder can receive the full-size bags as whole bean and grind each coffee fresh. With four different single origins in the box, a recipient with a grinder will get more out of the set than one who relies on pre-ground, since they can dial in each coffee individually.

Cooper's Cask Single Origin Box Set 48oz vs Cooper's Cask Cold Brew Box Set: which gives better value?

The Single Origin set works out to $62.43 per kilo and actually undercuts the price of buying the same four bags separately. The Cold Brew set works out to around $86 per kilo but costs less in total at $58.72 and includes six cold brew filters. If pure per-gram value is the measure, the Single Origin set wins. If the recipient needs equipment to brew, the Cold Brew set is more complete.

How many cups does the 48oz box make?

The box contains 1,361 grams of coffee across four bags. At a dose of 15 grams per cup, that works out to roughly 90 cups in total across the whole set. The per-cup cost at that dose is around $0.94. Actual yield will vary depending on how strongly the recipient brews and which brew method they use.

Can you get this coffee gift set on a subscription?

Cooper's Cask does not offer a subscription version of this set, so each order is a one-time purchase. A giver who wants to send coffee regularly would need to reorder manually or look at the roaster's individual bag listings, which may have their own repeat-delivery arrangements. The set itself is listed as a year-round product rather than a seasonal release.

What roast levels are in the single origin box?

Roast levels vary across the four bags rather than being fixed at one point on the spectrum. Cooper's Cask describes the selection as its most popular single origins, which suggests a range that has appealed to a broad audience. A recipient who drinks light through to dark should find at least two or three coffees that suit their preference without needing to brew something they actively dislike.

Does the single origin coffee gift set need extra wrapping before giving?

The set arrives in a gift box, so a giver can hand it over as it comes without additional packaging. The outer box is described as the packaging type, meaning the presentation is handled by the product itself. A giver who wants ribbon or a card would need to add those separately, but the box itself is ready to give from delivery.
