Peet's Decaf Major Dickason's Dark Roast Ground Coffee - 10.5 Ounce Bag

The story behind Peet's Coffee's most beloved blend, Major Dickason's, is one of passion, expertise, and a shared love of coffee. To create a decaffeinated version that would meet the high standards of this iconic blend, we felt it had to brew the absolute finest decaf cup in the world.

Using the same premium beans as the original, we crafted a decaf blend that is just as full of flavor, body, and aroma, but without any caffeine. The mellow, satisfying richness of Major Dickason's Decaf stands alone among decaffeinated coffees, whether prepared in a press, by drip, or as espresso. It is the boldest of its kind.

The idea for this beloved blend originated from a loyal customer of our original Berkeley store, retired army sergeant Key Dickason. In 1969, he brought the concept to Mr. Peet, our founder, who was intrigued. Working together, the local gourmand and coffee aficionado refined the blend, sampling countless combinations before arriving at what is now Peet's all-time bestseller.

The result was so exceptional that Alfred Peet decided the blend deserved more than just Dickason's name. He promoted the rich, complex blend from sergeant to major, and Major Dickason's was born.

This signature blend 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.

For us, "Major D" is more than just a coffee – it's the story of a customer's passion, an expert's palate, and a shared love of coffee. It's a relationship with an old friend, one that has stood the test of time and become a beloved part of the Peet's legacy.

Peet's Decaf Major Dickason's Blend is a dark roast decaf that is flavorful, robust, and full-bodied. Our ground coffee is perfectly suited to make drip or a pour over in your Chemex, and for other brewing methods like espresso, cold brew, or French press, we recommend trying our whole bean coffees and grinding at home.

At Peet's, we are masters of our craft, having roasted the very best coffees in the world for over 50 years. Our decaf is naturally water processed to remove caffeine, not flavor, ensuring that you get a decaf that tastes as good as the real thing. Rich, complex, and incomparable – that's Major Dickason's Decaf.
