The starter set came with 3 items: the French Press, the Spanish Roast grounds, and the Double Chocolate grounds. The Double Chocolate is delicious, maybe even a bit too heavy-handed with the chocolate, but I'd certainly buy it again. The Spanish Roast is unpleasantly smoky to the point of burnt. I cannot recommend it and would not buy it again. The French Press is pretty much useless unless you are serving a group. I want to make 1 cup at a time and it is way too big for that. I'm using a pour-over and it works fine. All in all, I can't really recommend the Starter Set unless you really desire a large French Press and want to make 4 cups at a time.
