Here is something to consider:
In[13]:= x = Range[4];
y = Range[5, 15, 5];
In[15]:= Join @@ ((Join @@ Outer[List, x, {#}]) & /@ y)
Out[15]= {{1, 5}, {2, 5}, {3, 5}, {4, 5}, {1, 10}, {2, 10}, {3,
  10}, {4, 10}, {1, 15}, {2, 15}, {3, 15}, {4, 15}}
 
But do note, this code creates a 2-D list, i.e., a list of lists not what you showed in your post.
I can generate the output you posted with:
In[18]:= Join @@ ((Join @@
      Outer[{xkoor[#1], ykoor[#2]} &, Range[4], {#}]) & /@ Range[3])
Out[18]= {{xkoor[1], ykoor[1]}, {xkoor[2], ykoor[1]}, {xkoor[3],
  ykoor[1]}, {xkoor[4], ykoor[1]}, {xkoor[1], ykoor[2]}, {xkoor[2],
  ykoor[2]}, {xkoor[3], ykoor[2]}, {xkoor[4], ykoor[2]}, {xkoor[1],
  ykoor[3]}, {xkoor[2], ykoor[3]}, {xkoor[3], ykoor[3]}, {xkoor[4],
  ykoor[3]}}
