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

Peet's Major Dickason's Blend Dark Roast Coffee, the roast that put Peet's Coffee on the map, is the story of a customer's passion, an expert's palate, and a shared love of coffee. The blend was brought to Peet's founder, Alfred Peet, in 1969 by a loyal customer, retired army sergeant Key Dickason, who had been a customer of the original Berkeley store. Intrigued, Peet worked with Dickason, a local gourmand and coffee aficionado, to refine the blend, sampling countless combinations before arriving at what is now Peet's all-time bestseller.

The result was so good that Peet decided to promote Dickason from sergeant to major, and thus the blend became known as Major Dickason's. This rich, complex blend 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.

Peet's Masters of our craft for over 50 years, hand-roasting the very best coffees in the world. Major Dickason's Blend, with its flavorful, robust, and full-bodied taste, is the perfect embodiment of Peet's rich, complex, and incomparable coffee. The coffee you buy can impact the welfare of the people and planet, and Peet's is actively engaged in driving positive impact in communities where their coffees are grown.

For brewing, use fine ground coffee for espresso at home, coarsely ground coffee (consistency of coarse sea salt) for cold brew or a French press, and a medium grind (consistency of sand) for drip or a pour over in your Chemex. Peet's Major Dickason's Blend is just like a relationship with an old friend, a story of a customer's passion, an expert's palate, and a shared love of coffee.
