Peet's Major Dickason's is a dark-roast, whole-bean blend crafted for a richly flavored, full-bodied cup.
Born from a collaboration between Alfred Peet and a devoted customer in 1969, Major Dickason's Blend combines premium Arabica beans from top growing regions and a deep roast profile to deliver bold aroma, layered flavor, and a smooth finish. This 10.5-ounce whole-bean pack preserves freshness until you grind, so you get maximum aroma and control over brewing. It's a signature roast that highlights Peet's long tradition of hand-roasting and careful sourcing.
What flavor can I expect from Major Dickason's Dark Roast?
Major Dickason's presents robust, dark-roast character with complex, rounded notes rather than a one-dimensional burnt taste. Expect a pronounced roasted aroma, cocoa and spice undertones, and a heavy-bodied mouthfeel that still maintains balance and clarity.
- Dark roast profile delivers bold, smoky aromas and a deep finish.
- Complex nuances like cocoa, toasted nuts, and subtle spice.
- Full-bodied texture with smooth, lingering aftertaste.
How should I grind and brew these whole beans for best results?
Grind size makes a big difference depending on your brewing method. Use finer grinds for pressure-based methods and coarser grinds for immersion or cold brew to extract consistent flavor without over- or under-extraction.
- Espresso: fine grind, tamp evenly for concentrated shots.
- Drip or pour-over: medium grind (sand-like) for balanced extraction.
- French press / cold brew: coarse grind (coarse sea salt) for clean body.
Where do these beans come from and how does Peet's source them?
Major Dickason's is a blend of 100% Arabica coffees selected from premier growing regions. Peet's emphasizes responsible sourcing practices and works to support growers and communities where coffee is produced, aiming to improve both quality and impact.
- Blended from multiple origin coffees to achieve layered flavor.
- 100% Arabica beans chosen for consistency and cup quality.
- Peet's engages in sourcing initiatives that support farmers and sustainable practices.
How long will freshness last, and how should I store the beans?
Whole beans retain peak flavor longer than pre-ground coffee. Keep the sealed 10.5-ounce bag in a cool, dark place and use an airtight container after opening to maintain aroma and oils for several weeks.
- Store away from heat, light, and moisture for best shelf life.
- Grind just before brewing to preserve volatile flavors and oils.
- Use within a few weeks of opening for optimal taste.
Who is this coffee for?

Its full body and layered profile make it a strong choice for espresso lovers, drip drinkers wanting intensity, and anyone who values beans sourced and roasted with an emphasis on quality and tradition.
