Peet’s Coffee

You'll notice not a single one backs up their claims with pictures. I'm guessing that's Starbucks employee reviews. LOL. I've bought this 75 ct box several times and they always arrive in perfect condition. If close enough to brewing your own Major Dickason's Blend to give it a 5-Star on flavor. So, order up with confidence.\n\n***UPDATE FEB 16, 2020***\n\nI just had my fourth box of these delivered and as you can see from the pictures, each and every pod in the box are perfect. Again, disregard any review to the contrary."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "The Major Dickason's Blend Coffee itself is very good. However, I ordered two of the 75 cup boxes on 5/12/18. The first box had 65 Major Dickason and 10 French Roast cups. The second box had 61 Major Dickason and 14 French Roast cups.\n\nMy order came from TA National Trading in the large Peets box shown, and this is the first time I've had an issue like that. That's over 15% of my product that was not as advertised. I suppose you could call it bait and switched. TA National Trading made some extra profit off of me, PT Barnum would be proud of me!\n\nI would have loved to return it; however there are three of us in the household who drink it, so we decided to bite the bullet on this subpar order fulfillment, use the coffee, and scratch TA National Trading off of our supplier list.\n\nBy the way, I did try the French Roast, and it's not even close to what Major Dickason's is."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'We love dark brews coffees and these are the best with great aromas.

The Major has taken command of our household. Do you love the smell of coffee? I do, and I love a cup of dark rich coffee. Do you hate when you smell coffee brewing and it smells great, but the coffee has no flavor or tastes burnt? Me too (did we just become best friends?). I have had some great cups of coffee in my time (mostly in Europe), and I have tried every method of duplicating that at home without much success. Peets coffee (in any form, bag or K cup) always delivers a great cup of coffee that does not taste bitter or burnt (over roasted) and tastes like it smells when brewing. For me, the Major Dickason's is a perfect cup of coffee. I am signed up for monthly delivery and one case lasts about a month at our house. I serve this coffee to our guests and everyone asks what it is. From the Folgers drinkers to the Kopi Luwak (cat poop coffee - look it up) drinkers, they all like the Major. Order the Major before he orders you. At ease!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Half way through the box I noticed there were K cups that were flat on top and not sealed and bubbled. When I used the flat ones, I would have tons of coffee grounds in my drink. A few times there would be so many I would have to clean out my machine. Now I am at the bottom of the box and there are no more sealed bubbled ones... all are flat and unsealed. I have contacted the seller, hopefully they will make this right.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I buy the large 72 K-Cup carton about once a month and love the bold taste and performance of these Peet's capsules. They appear to be much improved from the Major D. capsules I tried a couple years ago that would actually burst and leak in my machine at random. What a mess to clean up! This appeared to have been common at the time. But they seem to have gotten their act together and made the necessary adjustments because I haven't had one problem in any of the thirteen 72-pack cartons I've purchased over the last year. How to describe the taste, I'd stay bold, full body, without any bitter after taste common in the French roast variety. I also surmise that it's low acid as I never have any stomach issues even after drinking two or three cups. The only problem with this coffee is that it will spoil you when you're out on the town or traveling and can't find anything like it. The closest thing for me is a double shot Americano made with good espresso beans. For trips, I ended up purchasing a small single-serving K-Cup brewer so I can continue my Major Dickason's addiction on the road. So yes, I highly recommend this product. But, if you chose to buy another blend, you're just leaving more for me, thanks!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'First I love Peet’s coffee. The only complaint I have and it’s a big one is that so far 15 k pods aren’t recognized by my Keurig. If this is a knock off then they have done a good job replicating the taste of Peet’s Major Dickasons. I just am frustrated at losing 15 pods.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Going to order more the price unbelievable really good I like the fact that they were at my door and two days with Prime and I didn't have to go to the store the flavor is really tasty you.

If you buy Peet’s K-cups, you’re throwing money in the garbage by not getting them here or at Costco (approximately the same price at any given time). In fact, at this price and because Peet’s has gutted their employee discount, this comes out to be cheaper (ditto the 32 oz. bags of beans.) Weird changes such as lowering the discount, or the Mighty Leaf integration have happened at Peet’s since being purchased six or seven years ago by a German private equity firm. The one thing that hasn’t budged an inch is the quality of the coffee itself. Peet’s meticulously only leaves product on the shelves for 90 days to ensure freshness, and check next time you’re at the store: their K-cups have more actual coffee per cup than most other brands, which is perfect for folks like me who enjoy drinking a cup or two of ink every morning. This is five-star coffee at a five-star price.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "I love the rich flavor of this Major Dickason's Blend for my single-serve Keurig. It's easily among the best coffee I've had, but Peet's has some serious quality control issues.\n\nI ordered and received the 75-count package. The box arrived in good condition with the contents intact, but approximately one-third of the K-cup pods were deflated (see photo). This is simply unacceptable.\n\nWhile the coffee is great, I will not order again until I know that this issue has been resolved."}]
