Peet's Coffee Major Dickason's Blend Dark Roast Whole Bean Coffee 18 oz — Bold, Complex Flavor

Peet's Major Dickason's Blend is a dark-roast, 100% Arabica whole-bean coffee crafted for a rich, full-bodied cup with complex, lasting flavor.

Born from a collaboration between Peet's founder and a devoted Berkeley customer in 1969, Major Dickason's Blend is Peet's signature dark roast that balances deep roast notes with layered regional character. This 18-ounce bag of whole beans delivers the flexibility to grind for espresso, drip, pour-over, French press, or cold brew while preserving the bold, nuanced profile that has made it a long-standing bestseller.

How does Major Dickason's Blend develop its distinctive flavor?

Major Dickason's combines select Arabica coffees from top growing regions, then applies Peet's hand-roasting techniques to create a roast profile that emphasizes depth without losing origin clarity. The process highlights roasted bitters, chocolatey undertones, and a rounded finish for a satisfying cup.

• 100% Arabica beans selected for complementary regional notes
• Hand-roasted to a dark profile to concentrate flavor
• Balanced blend that preserves complexity while giving a robust finish

Which brewing methods suit these whole beans best?

Because you receive whole beans, you control the grind and can tailor the brew to your equipment. A finer grind works for espresso; medium suits drip and pour-over; coarse is best for French press and cold brew, unlocking different aspects of the blend.

• Espresso: fine grind for concentrated crema and intensity
• Drip/pour-over: medium grind for clarity and balanced extraction
• French press/cold brew: coarse grind for body and low acidity

What packaging and size information should I know?

This product comes as one 18-ounce bag of whole-bean coffee, sealed to preserve freshness. The size supports several weeks of regular home use, depending on daily consumption and grind frequency.

• One 18 oz resealable bag, whole beans only
• Sealed packaging to maintain aroma and flavor between uses
• Whole-bean format gives full control over grind size and freshness

How does choosing this coffee support responsible sourcing?

Peet's emphasizes sourcing practices that consider the welfare of farming communities and the environment. While the blend focuses on exceptional taste, the brand also invests in programs that aim to improve conditions where the beans originate.

• Sourcing policies aim to support sustainable farming practices
