Review: This is love at first sip! First time order from Peet's and I am a believer. We've been grinding beans since 1974 using beans from a variety of sources. This is now our HG coffee and roaster. Love love this blend. It's everything a great cup of coffee should be.

Review: I had read a review indicating that this was the "best coffee" the reviewer had ever tasted, and the Technivorm the best coffee maker. He was right about both. I am now a Peetnik with recurring deliveries of the Major. Sorry, but the supermarket version (especially pre-ground) is never as fresh, aromatic, or good. I''m like a kid in a candy shop when i stop by Peets when visiting my sister in Lexington. I'm always trying other blends and varieties of coffee from Peets as well as any coffee shop with fresh beans, especially when on vacation. We have a nice store in town that has two blends I also love. But even the best of the best earns my usual rating- "It''s good, but it''s not Peets." Specifically, it''s not Major Dickasons Blend- the best of Peets, the best of anywhere. No matter how much you spend! (They make it and all coffee too strong in the store- and I like it strong. Don''t go by that! Or the supermarket version.) I'm spoiled for life. Eventually, I'll wise up and stop testing coffees that don''t compare to the Major that, eventually, I have to throw out so I can get back to the Real Deal! I have been consistently misled by a few coffee review sites whose recommendations fall far short of what I expect from a coffee, and I have to ignore their ratings. This particular reviewer is in love with one particular brand, and I am always disappointed when I try one of his latest passions. Believe me, it's more obsession than hobby to find the perfect coffee. As my wife loves to remind me- I've already found it- it's freshly roasted Major Dickasons Blend beans.

Review: Love it! I used to purchase my coffee beans from another name brand source, however, their product quality has totally tanked yet their prices continue to rise. So..I saw Peet's across the way in my outdoor mall &remembered having a fabulous cup of Maj. Dickason's a while back...well enough said; I'm now a loyal fan! Thank you for great, quality coffee :)

Review: I can't believe I've been reading reviews of "Major Dick's" and no one has commented on the fantastic aroma. I usually grind my beans at home, but my grinder was on the fritz and I ground my beans in the store. While on line at the local supermarket everyone on line was commenting on the delicious coffee aroma. I don't know how you can consistently blend and roast such great flavor and AROMA.

Ihave already moved up my next recurring delivery to try your decaf coffee's! I am very glad I took the chance and ordered your coffee without ever tasting it . Will definitely be a loyal customer as long as Peet's keeps making quality coffee! Thank you

Review: I'm a newbie to specialty coffee, but a coffee lover all my life. I had an OH WOW moment drinking Major Dickason''s. I had recently finished some oldish market-bought stuff (grind-your-own, a darker roast), and when I did the Major (my first Peets offering), it was like my mouth filled up with flowers and candy. I normally put sugar in my coffee, but NO MORE!

Review: This is my husband's favorite coffee! He does a lot of traveling for his job and has the opportunity to visit a lot of coffee shops. However, in spite of that, his favorite coffee is still Major Dickason's. After moving from the Bay Area nearly 8 years ago, he missed this coffee so much that I ended up going to Peet's website and discovered that I could order online. I've been getting a recurring shipment ever since and now my husband is never without his favorite coffee. Thank you Peet's!

Review: After a week of business traveling, my wife greeted me the following morning with coffee in bed. I enjoy good coffee, but that morning I really enjoyed it. There was no sugar added but it almost tasted slightly sweet. The after taste was not bitter, but the flavor was robust. So essentially, after a week of ordinary restaurant and hotel coffee it was nice to come home to the luxury of my Peet's coffee; especially the Major Dickinson's Blend.

Review: I recently visited my sister in San Francisco and she introduced me to Peet's Coffee. She raved about this being the best coffee she has ever had and she was right. I am an avid coffee drinker and I can honestly say that I have never had a better tasting cup of coffee. I had to bring a pound of Major Dickason's Blend home with me. I plan to visit your website often. I would love to see your stores in the Rochester area. Thank you and Happy Holidays. Sincerely, Peggy Decker Rochester, New York

Review: When SB opened their very first store on the Seattle waterfront I realized that there there was an alternative to the weak, bitter offerings previously available in cans. After purchasing my first Major Dickason I Wondered why I wasted all those years on SB. If I can't find Maj.D. in a store - I find another store!

Review: While the initial taste of Major Dickason's is pleasant, I find that the aftertaste is not as welcome. It is a rich flavor coffee with a nice smoky overtone. Given the many "bad tasting" coffees available, this coffee ranks well above average, but I don't believe it ranks as my favorite.

Review: A friend introduced me to the Peet's main store in Berkeley when I entered The Graduate Theological Union. The coffee was fabulous; I went to that store every day for one solid month! Now I live in Japan, but continue to worship at the temple of Peet's through air mail delivery. My first order was received six (6!) days after I placed it. Now, that is fast. My best wishes to all the Peet's Berkeley staff and visitors. Hats off to the Major! As we say in Japan, "Kampai!"

Review: I was a big Barnie's fan, but a coworker recommended Peet's and referred me to your website. It is hands-down the best coffee I''ve ever tasted! I was so impressed that they roast my beans the morning after I place my order and ship it that same afternoon, making it the freshest coffee I've ever purchased. My favorites are the Sumatra and Major Dickason's Blend. Normally I''m not so fond of blends (too weak for my taste), but the MD Blend has got to be the smoothest, most flavorful coffee ever. From now on, it's only Peet's for this coffee fan!

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.

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.

Review: I have one word to describe this espresso blend....WOW!! I have not had espresso this good since the last time I was at Il Tubino in Verona, Italy. It works perfectly in the small moka machine I bought over there. Nice crema etc. Congrats on coming up with a fine blend.

Review: Hands down the best espresso I have enjoyed. The full-bodied richness of this espresso lacks nothing. Additional bonus: comparatively low acidity. YUMMM!

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!

Review: This is Wonderful!! The flavor is so smooth and is probably the best I've tasted! I make this in my French press and find that I keep craving more as the day goes on. There is absolutely no bitterness to this espresso and it tastes good with a little sugar or with nothing at all. 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.

Review: This coffee truly is a joy. The aroma of the whole bean is intoxicating alone, then once it is ground and brewed - heavenly. I'd like to point out this is the only espresso I've ever been able to drink the way espresso is intended to be enjoyed - black. 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: Unless I am mistaken this was a roast available for a limited time. I was so excited to get a chance to try it. I love the Major for both espresso and drip, but really was excited about the forte for espresso. Here in Va the local coffee shops over roast(BURN)their beans. As always I had my freshly roasted beans in two days. I can highly praise the Forte roast and the awesome gang at Peets. U-RULE.

Review: Up until a few weeks ago, the Ethiopian Fancy was my favorite Peet's coffee. I sampled the Gaia at the new Peet's Coffee &Tea shop here in Vancouver, Washington and was sold from the very first taste. It is a smooth coffee for any time of day or night. It is so good to see Peet's up here in the Great Northwest! I have so many coffee places to choose from, and Peet's is still the very best! I wear my "41" hat proudly!

Review: This is a wonderful coffee, much less acidic than most , yet with deep, complex satisfaction as part of its appeal. I drink it for breakfast even though my stomach generally does not react well to coffee in the morning, and think of it as a treat to start my day. Nice breakfast coffee with lots of character, mostly chocolaty and soothing. A great coffee!

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 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 found Peets by accident while surfing the internet for coffee information. Over the years I've tried almost all their coffee's. The one that I enjoy the most is the French Roast. I only purchase the whole beans which are freshly roasted and then I grind them within a day or two of brewing. Unfortunately, due to a lack of time I cant grind daily. In addition, I mix regular with decaf as I brew and drink all day from a thermos.The full body and complex flavors makes for a very enjoyable cup -all day long. I''ve tried other roasters French Roast a few times over the years-no contest. I give them to a friend. Whatever blend of beans is used by Peet's, well, they got it right. No more wasting money-I stick with Peet's. Also, I've used other Peet's regular blends along with my Peet's French Roast Decaf for a change of pace and they are also great. I'm currently using the Anniversary Blend which by itself is really enjoyable. In the area where I live I can by some of the Peet's blends in the supermarket and save the high cost of shipping but getting it roasted and shipped from Peet's I know it's fresh.

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: 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 !

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: Recently, a co-worker recommended that I try Peet?s Coffee so when I was in my local grocery store I picked up a bag and poured it into the grinder. I knew right away I had a great coffee as I could smell the deep rich fresh aroma of the beans. Simply put, I was blown away by the taste ?it was the smoothest and most creamy coffee I have every sampled. For years I have been hunting for coffee that doesn?t leave you with a bitter or acidy after taste ? not any easy task by any measure. While I have settled for some ?satisfactory? blends I never found a creamy balanced coffee until I picked up my first bag of Peet?s House Blend. If you try this particular blend I guarantee you?ll be so spoiled you?ll never want to drink another brand again!!! It?s not only fills your taste buds with pure coffee flavor it?s also very easy on your stomach. By the way, I use Peet?s House Blend with my espresso machine and it produces consistent creamy cups each and every time. In fact, because the House Blend produces a smooth balanced flavor I also stopped using artificial sweeteners. I guarantee you with Peet?s House Blend you?ll no longer need to add sugar or artificial sweeteners. Keep roasting!!!

Review: I was given a cup of your House Blend while at a job site. I was pleasantly suprised by the flavor and aroma of the coffee, and enjoyed every drop. Keep up the quality standards, it's hard to find a genuinely fresh cup of coffee, Peet's has found a new customer!

Review: While on a quick trip tp Reno, we ate at a restaraunt in the Hotel where we stayed, we asked the manage there what kind of coffee we were drinking, he told us it was Peets, needless to say as soon as we got back home we ordered coffee and will not drink any others coffee now. 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: I Have never had Peet's before,and i have NEVER done anything like this before,but this coffee made me jump out of my skin.If i could afford this coffee in bulk i would start a coffee lounge around the house blend.My first cup was last night and i was still thinking about my next cup the next morning.I honestly feel that this coffee could top my top 5 best coffee ever,and would definitely think about starting a shop around it.Thanks for this outstanding product.

Review: While in Reno last month we ate at a hotel restaurant we asked the manager WHAT kind of coffee they served. Needless to say it was Peet's house blend. We found Peet's in the airport in Reno, we brought coffee back to Texas with us now I am ordering coffee from the website. We were ordering coffee from Hawaii but now that I found Peet's I'm hooked!!! Thank You Peet's!!!! From Texas

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.

Review: I recently tried your Sumatra coffee. My first impression was being very impressed by the beans. They were so large that my grinder had a hard time feeding them. I also agree with your "gutsy and earthy richness" description, but I disagree on some other points. I've had a couple of Sumatran Coffees before, Mendheling and Batak, and I would never call a Sumatran, "not the most refined or elegant." It's certainly not the most expensive, but that's a plus when the coffee is so good. Your Sumatran coffee raises a single complaint in me. It was good, and drinkable, but it didn't measure up to the other Sumatras I've had. I noticed that you used a pretty dark roast on it, and I think that may be the problem. Sumatran's are supposed to be rich but delicate. Because they commonly have a mottled appearance up to and even into second crack, roasters will overroast Sumatrans. I enjoyed this coffee, but I wouldn't pick it.

Review: Peet's description says it's "not a fine coffee, but has a full body and is earthy". The amazing thing is that with this coffee, every sip comes with a new taste of a different flavor, and it is the fullest bodied coffee I've had, definitely earthy. If this is not fine coffee, I can easily do without finesse. Awesome coffee at a great price!

Review: For a very long time I wasn't able to drink coffee, it was hard on my stomach. One day at work I decided to try the coffee and the Sumatra didn't bother my stomach at all. I decided to try it at home and have tried other brands Sumatra and they aren't nearly as good as PEETS!! Thanks, You guys do a great job!

Review: I had been drinking The Major (my favorite) for about 6 months straight when I decided to chage gears a bit and go for Sumatra. It is a fantastic blend (but isn't all Peet's fantastic). It is very full and sweet and the flavor on the tongue is so concentrated as to almost be tangy--it really hits you. Wonderfully balanced by richness and a very full body.

Review: I wanted to have a special weekend coffee for my husband and I. The girl at our Peets was very helpful in selecting a coffee for me. I chose the Sumatra as my first try for buy coffee to take home. The coffee was perfect. She helped me with tips on how much water to coffee. I also bought Black Currant tea which I have not tried yet but again the girl helped me to learn how to brew it perfectly. I will write a review of your teas when I make it.

Review: I worked next door to the Domingo Ave location in Berkeley for nearly 13yrs. I drank alot of Peets coffee, sometimes 4 cups a day. One day a friend brought me over cup of coffee and it tasted like nothing I've ever tasted, it definitely was the BEST cup of coffee I ever drank. I asked what blend it was - he didn't know, I couldn't leave work. I had to find out what flavor of coffee I was drinking. After several attempts to sneak out of work, I just called next door - it was Sumatra! Living in NYC I mail order and mostly order House Blend, saving Sumatra for special occasions.

Review: I came across your site while savoring my favorite Peets coffee: Sumatra and I thought I'd tell you how much I enjoy this blend. It may sound crazy but as a New Yorker your coffee is a perfect match. It is strong but if you linger it has gentle depth, it can be aggressive and yet has a soothing warmth, it has many layers and hidden tastes yet has its own unique individuality. My favorite treat early in the morning or at the end of a long day.

Review: In general, I like Peet's coffees because they are consistently good and fresh, are ground to my specifications, and the customer service people are so pleasant. Although I like Major D's and Mocha Java a lot, my favorite is Sumatra because it is so deep and rich and smooth in flavor. It just makes me want to go MMMMMMMMMMMM! when I take a drink.

Review: This is a sublime, consistent, wonderful coffee with which to start the day, or finish it. My only regret is that there is no Peet's in NYC and I must be content with ordering on-line, without the instant gratification, and satisfying olfactory experience of having a bag of beans filled in front of me. Thanks, Peet's!

Review: I am completely impressed with this blend. I have been drinking coffee seriously for about 2 years and I can easily say that this is one of the best blends I have ever had, from anywhere. It has an exquisite, complex flavor and is incredibly smooth. If you enjoy dark roasted, robust coffee, the Garuda Blend will not disappoint you. As with all coffees, I strongly recommend trying this fresh from a French Press (made with boiling water.) Absolutely an amazing cup of coffee.

Review: It's interesting - the very things that other reviewers say they like about this coffee are the very things I can't stand. Honestly, I do not like this coffee at all. I find the clash between the Earthiness and the Chocolate flavor make this coffee unpalatable. Then again, I don't like the taste of coffee and chocolate together. If you like these tastes together, I'm sure you will love this coffee.

Review: As a loyal Peet's morning, afternoon, and Friday morning Dunsmuir train stop drinker of Peet's fresh coffee, I am grateful for your daily efforts. My first Peet's experience was your first launch of Peet's Davis, CA. I found an instant favorite in the Pride of the Port tea (in can) and the Garuda blend. Upon reading the product origin for Garuda, I was utterly convinced Peet's had found my daily grind. I have this at Chevron Refinery every morning during safety briefings and "accidently leave open bags for all coffee addicts to sample." The FCC crew has gained your loyalty. I suspect they go the the Solano Avenue store for their beans. In the afternoon, I have a Peet's espresso with turbinado sugar (raw) and a faint squeeze of lemon along with Gerolsteiner Mineral Wasser, a German favorite. The best service has been with Mikey, Lafayette, very nice. I escape my Bay Area lifestyle on a northbound train to see my niece and two nephews in Ashland, Oregon. Simply beautiful was your recent Ethiopian offering with fragrant hints of blueberry, perfect with the local's biscuits and gravy in Medford. Question; Will you ever open a store in Klamath Falls, Or. If yes, I'll be your loudest sounding board. Ever loyal Pat Eder 415.359.7721

Review: 1. I have purchased Garuda Blend locally in the past. This time I purchased direct from Peet's. 2. Direct purchased fresh roasted product is much better than any previously purchased Garuda Blend. 3. Garuda Blend purchased directly from Peet's and fresh roasted is full bodied, very smooth with great taste.

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: 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!
