Is Major Dickason's a dark roast?

Yes. It is a deep roast, the darkest end of Peet's range, with smoky, toasty notes and chocolatey sweetness.

How should I brew it?

It suits drip, pour-over, French press and espresso. Grind just before brewing, and use a coarser grind for French press and a finer one for espresso.

Is it sold ground or whole bean?

This is whole bean coffee, so you need a grinder. Grinding fresh keeps more of the aroma.

How does it compare with Peet's lighter blends?

It is heavier and more intense than Peet's medium and light roasts, with more smoke and dark chocolate and less brightness.

How should I store it?

Keep the beans in an airtight container away from light and heat, and grind only what you brew.

Is it good for espresso?

Yes. Its dark, chocolatey profile holds up in milk drinks, though some find it bitter as a straight shot.

Our take on the Peet's Coffee Major Dickason's Blend Deep Roast Whole Bean

Peet's Major Dickason's Blend is a deep-roast whole bean coffee, a Berkeley original from 1969 and one of the brand's best-known blends. It is rich and full-bodied, with smoky, toasty notes and a deep chocolatey sweetness that fans describe as spicy and multi-layered. It suits drinkers who like dark, strong coffee and brew at home with a grinder. Against Peet's lighter blends it is heavier and more intense; against mass-market dark roasts it is more complex, though some find it too bold for everyday drinking.
