- Is Major Dickason's a strong coffee?
- Yes. It is a dark roast with heavy body and low acidity, so it tastes bold and stands up to milk and sugar. It is stronger in roast flavor than in caffeine, which is roughly average for coffee.
- How should I brew it?
- It works well in a drip brewer, French press or moka pot. Use water just off the boil and a slightly coarse grind for press; a finer grind suits drip.
- Is it good for espresso?
- It can be, but it is roasted for filter brewing. For espresso, expect a smoky, bittersweet shot that some find too roasty on its own; it blends well with milk.
- How does it compare with Peet's French Roast?
- Major Dickason's is dark but still has some spice and sweetness. French Roast is darker and smokier, with more char and less nuance.
- How should I store the beans?
- Keep them in an airtight container away from light and heat, and grind just before brewing. Whole bean stays fresher longer than pre-ground.
- Is it sold pre-ground?
- This is the whole bean version. Peet's also sells Major Dickason's pre-ground, which suits drip brewers but stales faster.
