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

Major Dickason's Blend: the coffee equivalent of a firm handshake from a man who owns a boat. I bought the whole bean bag because I wanted to feel like a person who "grinds their own beans," and honestly? It worked. I now walk around the kitchen saying things like "let me get the burr grinder" while my family stares at me. The flavor is rich — and I don't mean "rich" like your uncle who won't stop talking about crypto. I mean deep, dark, chocolatey, "I have my life together" rich. First sip tastes like the coffee equivalent of a leather armchair in a library. There's smoke, there's cocoa, there's a nuttiness that makes you nod slowly like you understand wine now. Most dark roasts taste like someone set coffee on fire out of spite. This one tastes like the fire was intentional — controlled, deliberate, artisanal arson. Bold but smooth, strong but never bitter, like a bouncer who also does poetry. Downside: it has completely ruined diner coffee for me. I took a sip of the free stuff at a restaurant last week and my soul briefly left my body. Worth it. Peet's has been making this since 1969, which means they've had 57 years to perfect it and zero excuses if it were bad. It's not bad. It's the best thing in my kitchen and I will be taking no questions. Five stars. Would inhale the bag like a cartoon character floating toward a pie on a windowsill.

One of the best dark roasts out there. Just hard to source. Wish it was more available in Canada.

This is seriously dark roast. Imagine a rainy day stuck in a Berkeley cafe with nothing but coffee and pastries.
