Choose one coffee in two formats

Two formats for different moments

  • Whole beans for your routine

    Grind the beans for your preferred brewer. Adjust the grind and dose to suit your method, whether you use a dripper, drip machine or French press.

  • Single serves for your day

    Real ground coffee in an individually sealed drip bag with a built-in filter. Add hot water and a suitable mug—no grinder or machine needed.

Explore the same coffee in each cup

Follow the directions for each format, then compare aroma, sweetness, body and finish as the coffee cools. Grind size, water quantity and brewing method can change the cup, even with the same coffee profile.

A coffee gift for home and away

Celebrate a birthday, housewarming, holiday, or thank-you with a favorite coffee in two formats. The whole bean bag suits someone who enjoys grinding fresh; the eight matching single serves travel to work, a weekend away, or anywhere hot water and a suitable mug are available.

For a recipient without a grinder and brewer, consider Pour Over Single Serves or a pour-over Variety Pack. Explore the coffee gifting guide for more occasions and formats.

Coffee Discovery Set questions

Does the whole bean coffee come ground?

No. The bag contains whole beans, so you need a grinder and suitable brewing equipment. The eight matching single serves are already ground and include their own filters.

Does one set contain all three coffee profiles?

No. Each Discovery Set contains one selected profile in both formats. A Coffee Variety Pack compares three profiles in one format.

Are the single serves instant coffee or pods?

No. Each packet holds real ground coffee in a built-in filter. Hot water passes through the grounds into your mug. You do not need a pod machine or separate dripper.

Is the Riverside set caffeine-free?

No. Riverside is Half Caff, and both its whole bean and single-serve formats still contain caffeine. Bowling Green and The Natural are caffeinated options.

What should I check when choosing a set as a gift?

Check that the recipient has a grinder and brewer for the whole beans. Review the selected product page for the current bag weight, contents, price and availability. The single serves need hot water and a suitable mug.

From the Oval story

One coffee, two ways to make it yours

Fresh grinding is one kind of pleasure. Opening a single serve when you are away from your kitchen is another. A Discovery Set brings both routines together around one coffee.

Try each format on its own terms, with the equipment you actually use. The comparison is a way to explore your coffee, rather than a test with one correct result.
