Review: What have we here... twittering high notes of African beans, delicate and playful as the flutes and oboes? Do we have the warm midsection of the Latin Americans embracing as would the french horns and tombones ? And (oh my), there, underneath it all is the resounding basso of the Indonesian coffees, reassuring and solid as the noble basoon.The angel trumpets pierce the pallet with clear strong notes.The timpani drums thunderously propel us toward the bottom of the cup. The cymbals crash. What do we have here? We have a symphony.

Review: My husband often makes fun of me because I take my coffee so seriously. Well, we coffee lovers understand one other and appreciate excellent coffee when we taste it. I've been in love with Peet's coffee ever since I had my first cup in Berkeley in 1999. It is some of the finest coffee on earth. My personal favorite is "Major D's" blend, but other blends come close to tying it. Thank you, Peet's, for providing such high-quality coffee AND respecting the environment as well. You are a one of a kind!

Review: I'd been on the hunt for superb coffee for ten years until by chance, I came across Peet's MD blend at a local market where I reside. My taste buds danced when I drank it, for it's robustly smooth taste is better than any of it's competitor brands. I use MD to make a superb espresso using my Bialetti stove top maker, and now find friends making any excuse to come and visit over a cup of joe...; Peet's, I''m a fan!!!

Review: This is quite possibly the best coffee blend ever made! At least half of my regular shipment is Major D. It has a level of complexity that makes it an ideal "get moving" coffee, but also can be savored as a lazier weekend coffee. The balanced acidity, paired with the very full body is perfect. It works just as well in my Presspot, my stove top espresso maker and my drip coffee maker! My wife and I truly enjoy this blend.

Review: I am an avid fan of espresso based drinks. I regularly make lattes at home in my Super Automatic Espresso machine. I've used a myriad of coffees from the biggest names, and some of the smallest names including small roasters with freshly roasted beans. However, nothing has ever came close to what I am experiencing from fresh roasted Major Dickason's Blend. This is one of the greatest treats one could ever give themselves. My favorite drink is two shots of espresso in a 16 ounce cup, nonfat steamed milk, and two sweet and low, and the taste in the cup and the aroma in my home from this fresh batch of Major Dickason's is something I will never forget. Tonight I experienced the best latte I have ever had, better than anything I''''ve made before and better than any drink I have ever gotten in a store. Thank you Peet's, and thank you Major Dickason. I've finally found the ultimate blend.

Review: Over many years of being a loyal fan of all Peet's coffees, I found myself gravitating to one blend: Major D. Brewed dark, it's silky, smooth and rich, with an almost smokey flavor. For me, Major D. is the only thing on Earth that really counts as "coffee" any more. Which means I take beans with me when I travel. Even to Europe.

Review: I have just recently began to try and enjoy various dark roasted coffees, I previously (and still do) enjoy flavored. I have tried a few before Major Dickason's that were all just ok. I had never heard of Peet's until i read an online review of a coffeemaker i plan on purchasing. In the review, the reviewer mentioned that they were using their favorite coffee to ensure that the coffee maker had the best coffee to review, They used Peet's French Roast. This caused me to remember that my grocery store had recently began carrying Peet's. As I ran out of the dark roast I had been using, I decided to try out Peet's. I decided on Major Dickason's simply because of the eye-catching name. This is the best dark roasted coffee I have ever had. (This is from an old, cheap drip coffee maker) I can't wait to try it in my new coffee maker when I get it and in my stovetop espresso maker. I also plan on trying other Peet's roasts. It is so great to have such a great coffee minutes away. It is great that Peets which is located in California is now shipping to grocers in New England. I still enjoy other brands of coffee as well, but doubt anyone can top Peet's Major Dickason's Blend as a Dark Blend Coffee.

Review: I, like many other reviewers, am a devout "coffee snob" who has been a faithful Peetnik for many years (where else could we go but Peets?). Major Dickason's Blend is one of the best blends of coffee I have ever brewed or tasted. Coarsely ground and brewed for three minutes in a coffee press--can't beat it. The aroma alone gives away its complexity. Then sip it, and it is almost as if the coffee is playing a game with you. It is full and smooth to begin, very earthy, and then livens and increases in a rich, earthy brightness on top of its underlying smooth and full tone. And I swear the finish is almost a dark chocolate. An amazing coffee, keeps you intrigued until you swallow--and yes, "addictive as crack."

Review: I grew up in a household where they drank weak Folger's and Maxwell House canned preground coffee. I tried it, and couldn't imagine why anyone would voluntarily drink coffee. Then sometime in the early 70s I was at a Mediterranean restaurant in Palo Alto. After a good meal, we ordered coffee. They brought us two large cups of Major Dickason's (I didn't know what it was until I asked them). It was so different from my conception of coffee.. it was like you could saw off a slice and chew it! I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. After finding out from the waitperson what the stuff was, I made it a priority to find a Peet's and get me some. I thank Peet's and MD for introducing me to REAL coffee. 30-mumble years later, I still love a cuppa MD!

Review: I am a self- professed coffee snob, and I'm proud to say that I've been a Peetnik for many, many years. Growing up, "Major D's" was our weekend coffee, something to look forward to and savor on a lazy Saturday morning. I have tried numerous different brands of coffees over the years, but I always come back to this one. There is no other coffee that can compare to this one. It's full bodied and dark without being overroasted, smooth and not acidic, and has a clean finish. The beans are always glossy and perfectly roasted. This is truly the best coffee on the market today. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a satisfying cup of coffee.

(I'm sensitive to caffeine, so, I've also caused my husband many sleepless nights in my search.) I tell you now, I'm finished searching. Done! Kaput! I have found nirvana.

Review: I have been a fan and customer of Peet's since the mid-70's. Major Dickason became my favorite Peet's coffee after testing the darker brews. Because I was mobile and raising a young family I had not bought Peets for a long time. To my great delight, a few years ago,I discovered a Peet's store in near-north Chicago and to my even greater delight they still offer Major Dickason. Peet's offers the best coffee out there and MD is the best of some very good brews. I am again a steady customer.

The blend offers me the perfect balance in flavor..not too acidic and not too weak. The aftertaste is pleasant. I pay a bit more for a pound, but the price is worth every penny.

Review: For years I had been in and around the Vine Street, Berkeley Peet's but I wasn't a coffee drinker. I had tasted store bought brands before but didn't like them until I decided to give a cup of coffee one more chance. At the age of 40 I had my first cup of Major Dickason's and the first real cup of coffee in my life. I've never looked back. Nine years later I drink Peet's every day and The Major is still my favorite.

Review: For my machine (Ascaso), this is the BEST bean ever. I tried so many different beans - Intelligentsia, Java Joe's, Illy, Starbucks, Gorilla, Gimme coffee, Great Barrington, Allegro (from Whole Foods) and Caribou. This produces good crema, but the best part is the flavor and aroma. So well balanced and nutty, not acidic and not bitter. I don't know how it works on other machines but I love this one the most!

It also makes a great Latte. buy this and you will be much more critical of other espresso roasts!

Review: I tried this coffe for the first time a couple weeks ago. I am brewing it through a Gaggia Classic espresso machine and am comparing it to Illy, Dallis out of New York, and Lavazzia. I find Illy and Dallis both to be very good coffees. Peets by comparison tastes very fresh and produces the best crema I've seen through my machine. It's pure foam right from the start and the crema on the coffee is dark, thick, and delicious. The flavour is pure coffee essence, smooth with no bitterness at all. Highly recommended. I think the freshness of the beans makes this coffe a step above the others.

Review: The definition of the word coffee! The absolute best coffee I have ever tasted in my life! This blend has a full-bodied taste without any bitterness or the least hint of over-roasted (burned) beans. This is the coffee I want every morning when I wake up. I wish your stores offered this every day of the week. I haven't tried it as a drip coffee but I don't see why it wouldn't be excellent. It's flavors blend together so smoothly that every sip starts out intense and finishes with a mellow creaminess I haven't experienced with any other coffee. How do you get it to do that?

Review: I've been a customer of Peets for over 30 years. I used to buy only Major Dickason, but stopped when it was changed 6 yrs or so ago. It was either changed or you've started buying one of the beans from a different source. At any rate one bean became too dominant. I then have standardised on Espresso Forte, which also had that same strong bean, but it wasn't so strong as to be disturbing. Two weeks ago my new bag did not have that certain bean, or it's amount has been reduced. I vastly prefer what it now tastes like. Has the taste of Major Dickason also changed? Great job.

There is no bitterness at all, just a wonderful depth and body that elevates my mood and helps me ease into my day.

Review: Truly, this is one of the best coffees on the market. I use this blend for cone drip, and havent tried the blend in its intended (espresso) medium. Like it's moniker suggests, this blend is rich in flavor, with a strong bold full-bodied taste, but without any bitterness during or after the sip. It's rare to find a coffee so smooth and rich. In additon due to the richness of this coffee, it also works well over ice.

Review: I?ve become the brewer for my department at work. We tried the Gaia blend for the first time last week with unanimous enjoyment. I was so pleased with my own first cup that my enthusiasm encouraged a few co-workers who don?t normally drink coffee to try some - they enjoyed it too! I don?t know that I have the coffee tasting terms right, but I experienced the Gaia blend as a rich mouthful with a variety of subtle tastes, as substantial as a cup of hot cocoa without the cloying sweetness. No bitterness, and a lingering aftertaste that said ?complete coffee? rather than bitter, acid, or too strong.

Review: Our favorite Peet's coffee is, hands-down, the Gaia Organic Blend. While my husband and I both enjoy a good cup of coffee, it's hard for us to agree on a single variety of bean or blend--the Gaia Organic has been a repeat favorite with both of us. It's simply got a great, rich flavor that's very satisfying. And not only do we both get to enjoy a great coffee, we also get the satisfaction of supporting organic farming!

Review: I have been ordering from Peet's for several years now. It is very hard to say what coffee we like best. Mainly because everyone we order we love!! I guess I can say one of our favorites is the Mocha Java &Kenya aa. But all in all, all their coffee is wonderful. I have ordered from other coffee companies but always go back to Peet's. They also have delicious tea. During the holidays we ordered several bags of holiday blend. It was awesome!! We can't wait until morning to put on a pot of Peet's coffee. It makes our day!!

Review: I use Peets Arabian Mocha-Java to make espresso-cappuccino. My equipment consists of a La Pavoni Europiccola manual lever machine and a Rancilio Rocky Doserless Coffee Grinder. I tend to prefer coffee beans from Yemen. The taste I seek is that dry unsweetened chocolate flavor characteristic of beans grown in this part of the world. I suspect this blend is a mixture of Sunani from Yemen, perhaps mixed with East African coffees in combination with coffees of the Indo-Pacific island regions. I like this blend very much. It has a distinct unsweetened chocolate flavor with the dryness smoothed out by just a touch of rich herbal flavor. I tend to like only a dash of bite, acidity and herbal flavors in my cup, and this blend comes pretty close to my ideal.

Review: Arabian Mocha-Java is my favorite morning companion. Not being a morning person, I'm not sure how I'd get through my morning rituals and commute to work without my companion. The coffee is loaded with different hints of tastes (complex), sharp enough to get my brain uncoiled from the night yet without the lingering bitterness of a strong brew. I don't look forward to the morning alarm clock but I do look forward to my cup of Arabian Mocha Java.

Review: Arabian Mocha-Java is an oldie, but a goodie is best first thing in the morning. The combination of the richness of the Java and the flavor of Arabian Mocha makes every cup a treasure.

Review: I had to give up caffeine for health reasons and I started on a search for a drinkable decaf that I would enjoy, and after an exhausting search I found the Peets Mocc-Java Decaf to be the best tasting Decaf on the market, bar none! .. furthermore as a bonus the decaf process that Peets uses is one referred to as water pressed and is therefore a healthy process of removing the caffeine, whew, a lot of words but worth the effort of sharing my viewpoint, I special order my coffee here in PA after discovering Peets in person while vacationing in the SF Bay area :)

Review: The best decaf I have ever tasted. I use it for espresso and cappucino, made with a Gaggio espresso machine. When I serve it to friends, they comment how great it is and don't even realise it's decaf. There aren't many decafs that could pull that off. It's a strong but smooth blend, so my wife loves it too, even though she usually prefers milder coffees. There are cheaper coffees out there, but this is worth the extra.

Review: Giving up caf a few years was difficult in and of itself, but finding a good decaf has proved a chore with anyone but Peets. As a dark beverage drinker (red wines, stout beers, etc), this decaf is the only decaf &water process brand that I have ever come across that meets my tastes. It is rich, dark and full of flavor. I actually give it to my house guests and they never know that they are drinking decaf, but yet they all comment on how heavy and good a coffee it is. Order &enjoy!

Review: I love the French Roast. I won't buy anything but Peet's coffee for home any more. You really should try to find a location selling Peets coffee somewhere near where you live though. It's really expensive here online. I was very surprised and when you add shipping it is so much more. I buy it at my local grocery store for $8.99 and sometimes $6.99 when it goes on sale. It is $11.95 plus shipping here. Very expensive...FYI

Review: I've always had Maxwell house, Starbucks, and Folgers. When I went to the local grocery store (Randalls 1012) I decided to step out of the box on my next cup of coffee. PEET's french roast happened to be on sale for $8.88, I read the small biography and grabbed it not thinking anything. When I started the coffee maker for the brewing process i have a habit of smelling the coffee as it settles in the coffee pot, I was amazed that it did not have a bittery smell if that makes sense. In conclusion, this by far is the best French Roast Coffee I have tasted. And I will continue to use your product. Once anyone I can Imagine has tasted your coffee, It makes no sense not to have a cup at home.

Review: i drink (1) 16 oz. glass off freshly ground chemex dripped coffee 1st thing every a.m. &that is it for the day. peet's french roast has my daily brew for years. i like my coffee strong, flavorful ¬ burnt &that's what peet's french roast provides. i do not think i have ever had a better french roast &i have brewed only french roast for a far as i can remember. peet's whole bean french roast is consistently roasted to perfection for my taste. my guests who dislike dark roasted coffee say that the peet's french roast transcends any other dark roasted coffee &say it is an exceptional coffee. my guests are finicky about coffee &are not afraid to spit on my floor &pour a bad cup down the drain after i go out of my way of by getting up off the couch &brewing it for them.

Review: Peet's doesn't advertise this (or entirely believe it), but their French Roast is perfectly balanced for espresso drinks -- with or without milk. Great bite and nice sweet finish. Plus good crema, once you get the grind right. If you've only tried French Roast brewed through a drip filter, you'll be surprised at how much flavor and sweetness that lives in these beans.

Review: This is the finest tasting coffee I have ever had. The smell of the fresh ground beans is just heaven and the taste of the thick dark coffee at the start of the day lingers on. for the best taste drink it black . this is not a coffee for late nights best for cold mornings one tip if you are bought any other coffee that just doesnt quite make it but you cant afford to waste it then mix it with Peet's french roast 50:50 but make quite sure your friends know what to buy next time !

Review: A west-coast client visit introduced me to Peet's when I remarked about how good the coffee was. My client gave me a pound of French Roast to take home. I was hooked. Peet's puts all other coffees to shame. The French Roast is great out of the drip, but phenomenal with a press pot (thanks for the tip, Peet''''s). I''''m now working my way thru the other coffees, joyfully.

Review: I've tried many other so-called French roasts, including some from New Orleans, from Paris, and other sources. None have come close to the richness and body of Peet's. I set my coffee maker to go on in the morning, so that I can rush in to the kitchen for my first cup. It is always a thrill to have that first astonishing taste of rich, dark coffee. Thank you, Peet's.

Review: My sister who lives in San Francisco, would bring Peet's French Roast coffee with her each time she visited us here in Michigan. She always sends a pound at Christmas as well. I love strong, dark coffee, but have never been able to find another dark roast to compare. In fact, after drinking Peet's French Roast, I have become completely spoiled, as all other dark roasts pale in comparison.

Review: Pete's French Roast decaf is absolutely the best. I've tried A LOT of decaf coffees (famous brands and others) and they're either sour, too acidic, or just plain horrible. This French Roast has a robust and rich flavor while smooth and easy on the stomach. Other coffees pale in comparison.

Review: Your French roast decaffeinated coffee is superb! I've always appreciated a good Italian or French roast coffee. However, I thought that high blood pressure warnings from my doctor spelled an end to these special, full-bodied flavors. Not so; when my wife and I sampled your decaffeinated French roast coffee, it instantly became our coffee of choice. Thanks!

Review: Having put Peet?s coffee in my system for the last 24 years, I have tried almost every variety offered. I always come back to Italian Roast. It is like Christmas every morning waiting for that cup of coffee made with the press pot. Italian Roast has the bite, body, complexity and heft to insure one cup of coffee is enough for the day. And boy, is it the most beautiful cup of coffee to behold. I never leave home without it.

Review: Our favorite coffee used to be the French Roast but we have switched to the Italian roast after a trip to Tuscany. It seems to be richer and fuller and has a bit of a bite to it. I use it in my press and my husband uses it ground for espresso in his espresso maker. The Italian is our favorite at the moment.

Review: Recently the store I usually buy my coffee has been discontinued. I saw Peet's on the shelf and decided to try it. I purchased the "House Blend." It's very hard to find a coffee that sits well in my stomach as I have GERD. Peet's House Blend is extraordinary! It did not bother my stomach! It tastes like good rich coffee should. I knew when I opened it and saw how dark it was and the aroma was awesome, that it was a great coffee. It will be my coffee for now on. I love it!

We tried several different flavors and prefer New Guinea. We like a good cup of coffee and Peets beat the other guys hands down. If you don't try it it's your fault.

Review: Although my favorites change often, I do seem to come back to Peet's House Blend. As I start to brew my coffee, the aroma brings me back to some great memories of the Bay Area. But what really sets Peet's coffee apart is that first sip of a true coffee flavor.
