Peet's Coffee Dark Roast Whole Bean - Major Dickason's Blend, 18 oz

Peet's Major Dickason's Blend Dark Roast Coffee has become the roast that put Peet's Coffee on the map. In 1969, a loyal customer of our original Berkeley store, retired army sergeant Key Dickason, brought the idea for our most beloved blend to Mr. Peet. Intrigued, our founder worked with the local gourmand and coffee aficionado to refine it, and after sampling countless combinations, they arrived at what is now our all-time bestseller.

The result was so good that Alfred Peet decided naming it after his friend wasn't enough. Dickason's rich, complex blend also deserved a promotion from sergeant to major. 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.

Over the years, it has become the coffee that epitomizes Peet's: flavorful, deeply roasted, and unsurpassingly satisfying. But for us, "Major D" is just like a relationship with an old friend. We'll always remember it as the story of a customer's passion, an expert's palate, and a shared love of coffee.

Peet's Major Dickason's Blend Whole Bean 100% Arabica Coffee is a Dark Roast with a flavorful, robust, and full-bodied taste. Developed by Mr. Peet and his most discerning customer, this blend epitomizes the rich, flavorful taste of Peet's.

For optimal brewing, use fine ground coffee for espresso at home, coarsely ground coffee (consistency of coarse sea salt) for cold brew or a French press, and a medium grind (consistency of sand) for drip or a pour over in your Chemex.

Peet's is actively engaged in driving positive impact in communities where our coffees are grown, as the coffee you buy can impact the welfare of the people and planet. As masters of our craft for over 50 years, we hand roast the very best coffees in the world, ensuring a rich, complex, and incomparable experience with every sip.
