Peet's Coffee Major Dickason's Blend, Dark Roast Ground Coffee, 20 oz

Conceived by one of the first Peetniks and refined by Mr. Peet himself, Major Dickason's Blend is rich, smooth, and complex, with a very full body and multi-layered character. 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. This coffee comes pre-ground for quick and easy brewing.


The Pursuit of Perfection Alfred Peet was renowned for achieving perfection through his blends. His secret? Bringing together coffees so exceptional, each could stand on its own. For unparalleled complexity and nuance, look no further than our signature blends.	Roasted by Hand We use our five senses—not computers—to unlock each bean’s flavor potential. Our roasters are masters of their craft, fine-tuning the nuances of each blend and single-origin they roast.	Always Fresh. Never Stale. We mark every bag of Peet’s with a roast date so you know exactly when it was roasted. We hold ourselves to higher freshness standards than others because we believe coffee doesn’t get better with age, it gets stale.

The coffee is good; however, I get 5 - 20 oz. bags at a time and the expiration date is 5 days after I receive them - not good!

Ridiculous. “Best by date” is just 3 weeks from delivery date.

Ridiculously short “best by date.” Received package on December 4, and it’s “best by date” is December 26. Yes, that’s right, only 3 weeks. Cannot recommend. Coffee tastes stale.

Unique and Pleasantly Complex Dark Roast Coffee

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2017

Flavor Name: Major Dickason'sVerified Purchase

I drink a lot of coffee! My preference has always been dark roast. Keep that in mind as I report that this is one of the three best coffees that I have found in almost sixty years of coffee drinking experience. Its rich, full bodied, dark roast flavor is unique and pleasantly complex. After trying many different brands and beans, I have decided on Peet's Major Dickason's Blend as my daily brew. When it is available, it is always my preference. There is no other quite like it!!!

Meh - One Note, Nothing Special

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2020

Flavor Name: Major Dickason'sVerified Purchase

Coffee is controversial. There are, literally, a billion different opinions and mine is worth no more than the rest, but, on to it.

I cannot recommend this Peet's Major Dickason ground coffee. It arrived on time. It was lovingly packaged, and the date it was roasted was diligently provided in a spot right on the front of the package! Oh, the care and time spent on this little bag of ground coffee! Simply put, I was prepared to love it, buuut... I didn't.

The smell is bland and dull like old Folger's and its mates, kind of dry and weak. And, once brewed, it is simply, utterly, uninspiring. It's okay, I mean, I won't lie to you, I could drink it if there was nothing tasty at hand. But it has only one-note, and there simply isn't any complexity to the flavor, at all. So sad.

Me? I use a French press. I've tried using both a little and a lot of the Major's clearly favorite blend. I've tried brewing for four minutes, six minutes, eight minutes, Yahtzee! and nothing works. Nada.

Lots of you love this brew. I don't know why you do, but you probably don't understand why I do not. If you have not yet done so, try it, see if you like it. I find it tolerable, though simply tolerable coffee is completely un-necessary. Don't you agree?

Cheers,
AW

Sad Blue Squid Dude

Well-deserving of the hype. Fantastic Dark Roast. Grind is closer to an Espresso Grind.

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2020

Flavor Name: Major Dickason'sVerified Purchase

After much hype about Peet's from the coffee community, I finally decided to give these a shot. I was actually really impressed, and it certainly lived up to the hype! If you're an old-school coffee drinker like me and enjoy darker roasts, this is the blend for you! I'm not big on the so-called third-wave coffee movie and don't really enjoy drinking lighter roasts in the morning. I simply don't want to drink coffee that tastes like lemon or fruit juice, and it's not what I grew up drinking with my dad. On to the tasting notes! Major Dickason's is extremely smooth, nutty, and velvety. No acidity whatsoever. There's hints of bittersweet chocolate, and you can tell that there is a big emphasis on the quality of the roasting process itself. Beans are grinded very fine, so it may not be ideal for French Press users. However, it is perfect for espresso, Aeropress, or a Moka Pot. It does clog my V60 a bit, so adjust your brewing technique accordingly!

One thing that clearly sets Peet's apart from other big brands is that they put roast date on the bag so you know how fresh these beans are. I received mine about three weeks after the roast date. The Major Dickason's Blend is extremely smooth, velvety, and has no bitterness at all.

Overall, I'd have to say that these are probably the most enjoyable store-bought coffee I've ever tried. If you enjoy dark roasts and don't have time to grind your coffee beans every morning or buy them fresh from a local roaster, this is a really good alternative. Will buy again!

Good coffee, Buyers beware of the freshness

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2019

Flavor Name: Major Dickason'sVerified Purchase

Received the coffee 8 months past the "freshest by" date stamped on the front of the package!
It is a good coffee, if it is fresh. As other also pointed out, shame on Amazon for not purging old stock.
I wonder how Jeff Bezos would feel if he was served old product at a board meeting?

I immediately contacted Amazon and they did issue me a refund.

Great Crowd Pleasing Coffee

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2016

Flavor Name: Major Dickason'sVerified Purchase

I bought this coffee to try out in our office with a fairly hard to please coffee crowd. It was very well received. The coffee is a nice, robust, dark roast. Like others have said, it has a bit of a sweet note to it but in a good way. I am trying many different brands but I have this on my list to purchase again. Sometimes this is cheaper at Target.
