Peet's Coffee Major Dickason's Blend Dark Roast Whole Bean Coffee, 18 Oz

Peet's Major Dickason's Blend Dark Roast Coffee has become the roast that put Peet's Coffee on the map. The idea for this beloved blend was brought to Mr. Peet in 1969 by a loyal customer of the original Berkeley store, retired army sergeant Key Dickason. Intrigued, Peet's founder worked with the local gourmand and coffee aficionado to refine the blend, sampling countless combinations before arriving at what is now their all-time bestseller.

The result was so exceptional that Alfred Peet decided naming it after his friend wasn't enough. Dickason's rich, complex blend also deserved a promotion from sergeant to major. Major Dickason's combines the best origin coffees from the world's premier growing regions, each imparting its distinctive regional characteristics while still effortlessly rounding into a smooth, balanced cup.

Over the years, Major Dickason's has become the coffee that epitomizes Peet's: flavorful, deeply roasted, and unsurpassingly satisfying. But for Peet's, "Major D" is just like a relationship with an old friend. They'll always remember it as the story of a customer's passion, an expert's palate, and a shared love of coffee.

This Dark Roast coffee is flavorful, robust, and full-bodied, developed by Mr. Peet and his most discerning customer. It can be brewed using various methods, such as fine ground for espresso at home, coarsely ground (consistency of coarse sea salt) for cold brew or a French press, or medium grind (consistency of sand) for drip or a pour over in a Chemex.

Peet's is committed to sourcing with impact, ensuring the coffee they buy positively impacts the welfare of the people and planet where their coffees are grown. As masters of their craft for over 50 years, they hand roast the very best coffees in the world to deliver a rich, complex, and incomparable experience.
