What We Found in an Amazon Mystery Box: Unknown & More — May 14, 2026

We cracked this one open on a Wednesday afternoon and the first thing out of the box was coffee. A lot of coffee. Like, twenty-two bags of Black Rifle Coffee Company Beyond Black Ground Coffee — one-pound bags, sealed, shelf-ready, $12.99 each at retail. That's almost $286 in coffee alone sitting in one box. We did the math three times. The whole team kind of stood around for a second just looking at the pile.

Twenty-Two Bags of Black Rifle Coffee Is Not a Typo

Seriously. Twenty-two. We've seen bulk coffee show up before, but not like this. Beyond Black is their dark roast, full-strength, and these are standard one-packs — nothing oversized. If you're a BRCC fan or just someone who goes through coffee fast (no judgment), this is the kind of find that makes the Amazon Mystery Box worth every penny of the gamble.

Beyond the coffee mountain, we pulled six Everhard Shear and Knife Sharpeners DM87765, made right here in the USA — $11.50 each retail, compact little tools that are genuinely useful in any kitchen or workshop. Six of them. That's a solid run on a practical item.

We also found a C-C Fast Charger for iPhone at $34.99 retail — just the one, but a clean score. Fast chargers are the kind of thing that disappear off our shelves before we've even finished pricing them, so that one's already spoken for in spirit.

Rounding out the notable pulls: a single ream of Basics Multipurpose Copy Printer Paper, 8.5x11, 500 sheets, 92 GE Bright White. Not glamorous. Useful. Sometimes the box just throws in a ream of paper and you nod and move on.

Plus there were plenty of bin-labeled pieces heading straight into our store bins — always worth a dig when you're in Hot Springs and have five minutes to spare.

Total estimated retail on this one came in around $506.74. The coffee carried it, honestly. But that's kind of the fun of it.
