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

Peet's Coffee Major Dickason's Blend, Dark Roast, Ground Coffee; A loyal customer of our original Berkeley store, retired army sergeant Key Dickason brought the idea for our most beloved blend to Mr. Peet in 1969. Intrigued, our founder worked with the local gourmand and coffee aficionado to refine it. They sampled countless combinations before arriving at what is now our all-time bestseller. The result was so good, 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.

The Pursuit of Perfection

Alfred Peet was renowned for achieving perfection through his blends. His secret? Bringing together coffees so exceptional, each could stand on its own. For unparalleled complexity and nuance, look no further than our signature blends.

Roasted by Hand

We use our five senses—not computers—to unlock each bean’s flavor potential. Our roasters are masters of their craft, fine-tuning the nuances of each blend and single-origin they roast.

Always Fresh. Never Stale.

We mark every bag of Peet’s with a roast date so you know exactly when it was roasted. We hold ourselves to higher freshness standards than others because we believe coffee doesn’t get better with age, it gets stale.

Peet's major dickason blend is by far my favorite coffee. It is bold yet not too acidic and have a solid long-lasting flavor. I find it not too strong for my first cup in the morning yet gives me enough of a kick to get me going.The coffee always comes fresh, and the beans usually still have an oil on them. I definitely prefer the whole beans and grind them myself to get the most flavor out of them. The one downside is that they go stale after about 2 weeks of after opening the package.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite simply the best coffee you can get.
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2018

I don't have enough time to write as many reviews as I did years ago, and via my participation with Amazon's Vine Voice program I get free items in exchange for my unbiased review so it is EXTREMELY infrequently that I write a review just for the reason of "this product is absolutely the best."

I don't remember the first time I got to experience Peet's Major Dickason, but it was years ago and, ever since, as far as I'm concerned, there's not really a use for any other coffee.

The sense of smell is one most closely tied to a strong emotional reaction. Think about the smell of frying bacon, or the smell of a really fine bakery, or a fragrant, blooming rose. Major Dickason's is that kind of smell - it's not just a *good smell.* No, it's a smell that's so good it conjures up in my head the best feelings and emotions. If you haven't had the pleasure you may be wondering "well.... what does it smell like?"

Coffee. It smells like coffee - but it smells like the best coffee imaginable: like God gave you a nose for no reason other than to smell Major Dickason's.

It's worth mentioning that it tastes as good as it smells. I constantly have Major Dickason's k-cups around for when I'm pressed for time and I just HAVE to have a cup of coffee. I also constantly have whole beans, which I grind fresh and brew either in the keurig or the ninja - but the truth is Major Dickason's will turn a cheap 10 dollar coffee pot into a barista-inspired heaven that the most expensive coffee-brewing equipment, without Major Dickason's, can't hope to duplicate.

Peet's Major Dickason's is one of the ways I know God loves us.

This is a review for the addon listing of Peet's Major Dickerson blend.

I've been a Peet's convert for a while now, in fact Peet's ruined my preference for medium roasts with it's Maj D blend and I was quite a coffee snob willing to spend more for quality at other website roasters typically ordering around 7 lbs a month. But when I discovered Maj D I was surprised at how rich, complex and satisfying of a roast it was. For a while I ordered from their website but I'd check in with amazon from time to time and saw they had this listing while shopping one day. Gave it a shot as I'm always a bit cautious about ordering whole beans off of Amazon when its Prime but knowing what the roast to order tasted like I had a good foundation for comparison. I can happily say its the same and at the price listing (I have no trouble hitting that $25 minimum) its a solid win. I often shop around trying other roasters/blends, but Peet's is my roaster of choice, they really are for my tastes, the best.

We love Peet's Coffee and have been drinking it for years, and Major Dickason's Blend is our go-to flavor for every day brewing. Whether we are using the K Kups at work or grinding whole beans at home, this blend brews up good, dark, and delicious. The fragrance fills our offices and home, so that the uninitiated are soon asking, "What are you drinking? It smells so good!" And it tastes just as good as it smells. It's the perfect combination of beans in our opinion, and we can never get enough of it. Whether we brew it for breakfast to start the day, refrigerate it to drink it cold, or brew another pot to enjoy with dessert after a dinner with friends, it is always just right and warmly accepted by all of our friends. We must say, after sharing this brew with our guests, we've converted more than a few people into Peetniks (Peet's Coffee fans). One taste, and you'll likely be a convert too. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Cold Brew
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2020

This is a great coffee to use when making Cold Brew. As it is slightly weak if you leave it in the fridge for 24 hours, 12hrs or so outside of the fridge and the rest in the fridge, will make this a bold and rich flavored cold brew.

My wife who never drinks coffee, has loved the cold brew and says she doesn't get the coffee headache as she does with other coffee. She never liked "American" coffee, as she tried Foldgers, Starbucks, Grocery Store "locals" blends, etc and wasn't good to her. But I knew Peet's would get her as I loved Peet's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth It
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2017

For years I roasted my own beans and the only reason I don't do it much lately is because I just don't ever have the time. So you end up too often roasting a batch of beans at 6 am so you can have a morning cup. Which means you're grinding and perking warm beans which is not optimal.

So too much of a hassle and while I still do the occasional batch to my own particular taste, I have shopped around for a reliable substitute.

The first thing I discovered is that you can pay a lot of money for some really mediocre to lousy beans. But I eventually managed tofind some primo stuff and this is one I highly recommend.

I'm not going to give you all that "floral notes and finish of absinthe" nonsense. It's just good coffee, dark and rich and never bitter. These guys do a good job and you ought to give it a try. Maybe you'll like it and maybe it won't be exactly what you're looking for but either way you won't feel like you paid a premium price for a bag of mud,

Over the last 40 plus years, I have made do with some of the worst coffee imaginable in the military , had some good coffee, but have always been searching for a GREAT coffee. I've tried everything I could lay my hands on, except for the coffee eaten and then "recycled" from the Civet cat. (who thought of that??) I found Starbucks coffee to always have a sort of burned taste, Gevalia to have no "edge" at all, etc, etc. Finally, I found Peet's Maj. Dickenson. Not bitter, but not bland. I've been drinking it for about 5 years now, and still stop to savor that first sip of the day. Great body, perfect flavor, what more can you say?
