While I’ve always enjoyed Peet’s coffee, I’ve always purchased whole bean from my local grocery store. Having received my first subscription delivery, the flavor and aroma (it smells SO GOOD), of freshly roasted coffee from Peets has solidified my decision to continue my subscription and continue to enjoy great coffee (and espresso) made from freshly roasted Major Dickinsons beans.
I worked for a company in Seattle to deliver coffee to offices. I could drink any brand we carried and it was ALL MAJOR BRANDS you could think of. Once I found Major Dickinsons I have never looked back. That was in 2005 and still must have Major Dickinson every morning since. I no longer work for that company but ALWAYS HAVE IT...
I have been buying Major Dickinson coffee for many years. I have tried other coffees but keep coming back to this as my favorite. I just bought some to make cold brew coffee. It is amazing in a cold brew. I did the full amount and It was actually too strong and I love it strong. It holds up yo being poured over ice with a bit of almond milk for creaminess. I highly recommend this blend hot or cold. It is my go to.
The coffee beans I received were very fresh. I brewed it using my ECM Synchronika, and it produced nice espresso with rich crema. The taste is also amazing if you add in some freshly steamed soy milk!
