Is Major Dickason's a dark roast?

Yes. It is Peet's darkest flagship blend, with a heavy body and bittersweet finish.

How should I brew it?

It works in drip, French press and espresso. Use water just off the boil and avoid over-extracting to keep the bitterness in check.

Is it sold ground or whole bean?

This is whole bean coffee, so you need a grinder. Grind just before brewing for the best flavor.

How does it compare with Peet's House Blend?

Major Dickason's is darker and heavier, with more cocoa and smoke. House Blend is lighter and more balanced.

How should I store it?

Keep the beans in an airtight container away from light and heat. Buy in amounts you will finish within a few weeks.

Our take on the Peet's Coffee & Tea Major Dickason's Blend Whole Bean Coffee

Peet's Major Dickason's Blend is a dark roast whole bean coffee named for a customer who pushed founder Alfred Peet toward a fuller, richer cup. It is the company's flagship blend: heavy body, smoky-sweet cocoa and caramel notes, and a bittersweet finish. It suits drip, French press and espresso drinkers who like a bold, low-acidity cup, and it competes with other dark-roast standbys on depth rather than subtlety.
