Peet's Dark Roast Ground Coffee - 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, was the result of a collaboration between the company's founder, Alfred Peet, and a loyal customer, retired army sergeant Key Dickason. In 1969, Dickason brought the idea for this beloved blend to Mr. Peet, and together they refined the recipe, sampling countless combinations until they arrived at what is now Peet's all-time bestseller.

The combination of the best origin coffees from the world's premier growing regions, each imparting its distinctive regional characteristics, resulted in a smooth, balanced cup that has become the coffee that epitomizes Peet's: flavorful, deeply roasted, and unsurpassingly satisfying. Recognizing the exceptional quality of the blend, Alfred Peet decided to honor his friend by promoting him from sergeant to major, and thus the name "Major Dickason's Blend" was born.

For Peet's, this blend represents the story of a customer's passion, an expert's palate, and a shared love of coffee. It has become a cherished part of the company's history, a relationship with an old friend that they will always remember.

The ground coffee is perfectly suited for making drip or pour-over in a Chemex, while whole bean varieties are recommended for other brewing methods like espresso, cold brew, or French press. Peet's is committed to sourcing its coffee with a focus on driving positive impact in the communities where the beans are grown, ensuring that the coffee you buy can have a meaningful effect on the welfare of the people and the planet.

As masters of their craft for over 50 years, Peet's hand-roasts the very best coffees in the world, resulting in a rich, complex, and incomparable experience for coffee lovers. Major Dickason's Blend is a testament to this commitment to quality and excellence, and it continues to be a beloved and iconic offering in the Peet's portfolio.
