A loyal customer of our original Berkeley store, retired army officer 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.Product shelf life is 365 Days

From the Manufacturer

Peet’s Way

Bold. Distinctive. And Now, Convenient.

We’ve spent five years perfecting Peet’s K-Cup Packs, to meet our exacting standards and more importantly the standards of our customers. We started with the same premium Peet’s coffee you love; use a better coffee, get a better cup. We chose to use more coffee than most, but hardly indiscriminately. We’ve designed a specific dose (to the tenth of a gram) for each specific blend and a grind parameter that we measure to the micron.

We also deployed a mesh-like filter that allows more oils and flavors to pass into the cup. All these tiny details make a gigantic difference, especially in a method that must extract in under a minute.

It’s the same House Blend you love, roasted by the same roasters, and treated with the same craft and care as the rest of our coffees.

House Blend

The House Peet Built

Tasting Notes: Lively and balanced with a crisp finish. Easy to love.

Roast Profile: Deep Roast

Ever since Alfred Peet opened the doors of his first small Berkeley shop in 1966, Peet’s has been known as a pioneer of fine, distinctive coffees — high-grown, higher quality, and deeply roasted to maximize flavor. House Blend is a perfect introduction to our signature style.

First crafted by Mr. Peet, this blend of carefully selected, choice beans from our favorite Latin American origins brews a quality cup that’s uniquely rich and approachable, with a pleasant spiciness. It is deep-roasted by hand in small batches to impart the most flavor and aroma. And like all our coffees, it’s delivered unimaginably fresh.

The bright, balanced flavors and medium body make House Blend so inviting and easy to love, Mr. Peet used to call it a “starter coffee.” He would recommend it to get customers acclimated before introducing them to a range of flavors. But we think he may have underestimated himself; more than four decades later, Peetniks everywhere are still at home with House.

Same Commitment, Same Care, Same Coffee.

 

 

The three Latin American coffees in this carefully crafted blend were selected for their balance and brightness, and the roast fine-tuned to brew the perfect medium-bodied cup. We decided to name it after our third café, opened by Alfred Peet in 1980 on Domingo Avenue in Berkeley, in the shadow of the Claremont Hotel. For more than three decades, Peet’s regulars have gathered here to enjoy hand-crafted drinks and the camaraderie they inspire. And that’s something worth commemorating.Product shelf life is 365 Days

The signature taste and rich coffee character of French Roast comes from a longer, hotter roast, which not all beans can handle. For our darkest roast, we select only top-quality Arabica coffee from the highest altitudes of prime Latin American growing regions. Beans mature slowly at these altitudes, becoming denser, harder and packed with flavor — perfect for retaining boldness and complexity under the intense heat of a deep roast.Product shelf life is 365 Days
